With our memories of our existence hidden from us while here in mortality we can scarcely imagine what awaits us when we return to His presence. I often consider how I will feel if I have not been very good at becoming like Him through following the guidance that he has given us so that we can have the great reward at the end. After we discover the close, close relationship that we had with Him before this life, if we have not been attentive followers of the Son, I can not even imagine who awful we will feel for disappointing Him so grievously. How ashamed we will feel among the great and noble ones of heaven and earth, among those who sacrificed much to be obedient to the Savior.
With that in mind, this quote from Brigham Young gives new perspective to this relationship.
"When you see our Father, you will see a being with whom you have long been acquainted, and He will receive you into His arms, and you will be ready to fall into His embrace and kiss Him."
How this image makes me want to be better at following what He has asked us to do so that I may become what He is and feel comfortable in the presence of God.
