I AM

. . . Simply beholding His face is enough! . . .
through reading His Word . . .

through prayer. . .

through meditation. . .

and someday . . . face to face in glory . . .

Yahweh is righteous; He loves righteous deeds;

the upright shall behold His face.

(Psalm 11:7)

As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness;

When I awake, I shall be satisfied with Your likeness

[as a bride is satisfied in seeing her dear husband 
beside her when she awakes].

(Psalm 17:15)

. . . Why am I satisfied with Him? . . .

I say to Yahweh,

“You are my Lord; I have no good apart from You.”

You make known to me the path of life;

in Your presence there is fullness of joy;

at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

(Psalm 16:2,11)

“Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul,

“therefore I will hope in Him.”

(Lamentations 3:24)

Yahweh is my chosen portion and my cup;

You hold my lot.

The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

(Psalm 16:5-6)

. . .What is this inheritance? . . .

This shall be their inheritance:

I AM their inheritance:

and you shall give them no possession in Israel;

I AM their possession.

(Ezekiel 44:28)

This last verse is a statement God made to the Levitical priests.

It holds true for any who are God's children and priests to Him through Christ.

We hold no inheritance nor possession in this world.

Our reward is in Christ alone and in His eternal kingdom.

I capitalized “I AM” to emphasize God's all-sufficiency—

His ability to be all that we need.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places . . .

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses,

according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us,

in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of His will,

according to His purpose . . .

In Him we have obtained an inheritance . . .

In Him you also,

when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Him,

were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it,

to the the praise of His glory.

[May] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory . . .

give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him,

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened,

that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you,

what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe.

(Ephesians 1:3, 7-9, 11, 13-14, 17-19a)

~

And we all with unveiled face,

beholding the glory of the Lord,

are being transformed into the same image,

[the image of Christ],

from one degree of glory to another.

(2 Corinthians 3:18)
