Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. John 17:24 (ESV)
Have you ever noticed the difference in what people called the "Lord's Prayer" and when Jesus really prays? The "Lord's Prayer, was a model prayer that Jesus prayed. He was teaching His disciples how to pray to the Father. But, when Jesus actually prays, it is powerful. One of the things He prayed about, was His followers living in heaven with Him. Do you actually, think about living in heaven with Jesus? Well it is pretty important, because He told His Father that He wanted us to be with Him in heaven. What an honor. There is not anything about thinking about living in heaven. That does not mean you will go out and commit suicide. It means that He wants you with Him and you, likewise desire to be with Him. We should not be content here on earth in bodies that are only wasting away. Our spirits should be groaning and desiring the One who will give us our glorified bodies. Now don't miss this, it is only when we receive our glorified bodies, that we will be able to see Him in all of His glory. Hallelujah!!! We will behold what the Angels have beheld since they were created. If that doesn't make you want to dance like David, I will meet with you and give you dance lessons. Please continue to remain in His word and continue to lift each other up even more, as we see the day of His return drawing near.
Someday believers will not only see his glory, but share it. Until then, we participate in it spiritually.~John MacArthur
