Did he see you?

I was reading in Revelation a while ago (no, it isn't a scary book of the Bible) and was given a beautiful message that I would like to share. The verses that struck me were these:

Revelation 7:9-12

"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen."

After reading the rest of the chapter and thinking on it, God impressed something on me. It was a message I needed to hear from him and it blessed my soul greatly. Suddenly, in my mind and heart I heard these words, "John saw me in that multitude. John saw me in this vision. My face was in that crowd." I cried. And after I cried I wanted to leap and dance around the room!

Take a moment and think about this image. Read the verse again. Think about this question: Did John see your face among the multitude around the throne of the Lamb?

Read on in the chapter:

Revelation 7:13-17

"And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

And so I ask again: Did he see you there?
