Face to Face, Fully Known, by Molly

Nathan Beau was due to be born on March 10, 2009. The day before his due date, God gave me a special present in the form of a verse.

I’d had a low day emotionally a few days before, and there was a part of me that wondered if that might have been the day he would have been born. There was no reason to be feeling as weepy as I was.

But on the 9th I was perusing a friends’ facebook page and she had some pictures up of her new little one that arrived a few days before. We had shared our exact same due date and both of us were having boys. As I was looking at the pictures, making comments and rejoicing with her, I realized that God had done so much healing in my life. Though I shed some tears thinking about Nathan, they were not sad tears, just thankful ones. Her family picture totally ministered to me as I looked at it.

As I looked at the pictures and thought about Nathan, I began thanking Jesus that Nathan Beau is seeing Him face to face and He reminded me of the verse,

I Cor 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

I love the fact that Nathan is enjoying Jesus face to face, knowing Him fully and being fully known by Him. I can’t wait to be there someday. I am so grateful for God's “birth-date” gift to me in that Scripture. He truly good to me.
