There are places of intimacy that God longs to take us to in Him, but it is only attained by having greater levels of faith. Faith after death and the finality of a situation is one of the greater levels; this is faith to believe that whatever happens in this life God remains above it. He is always the Creator and the Reviver of life on this side and in eternity.
I love how God presses us into the greatest intimacy with Him through the greatest places of faith. Mary and Martha came to know Christ in a deeper way through the death and resurrection of their brother. He said to them, “Didn’t I tell you that you will see God’s glory if you believe?” (John 11:40). Faith after death, of a relationship, a job, a way of life, or a loved one can bring you to the place of seeing His Glory and of seeing the Eternal. It is God’s gift to the broken heart and a precious sight to behold.
