Months ago, not sure of when, I was standing in church. We were singing a new song that Andrew, our worship leader had written. The lyrics had something about falling at the feet of Jesus, I can't remember exactly.
As we were singing I saw Mike fall to his knees, his face and hands pressed to the feet of Jesus. He was crying, grieving. Mike was mourning not being with us. The Lord reached down and held him, he let him cry. Jesus comforted Mike when he walked into Heaven. That's what I saw.
I made a mental note to share the thought with Andrew and Brini, they loved Mike and would want to know this, Tim and Mandi, tell them too I thought. At the close of the service one of our regular attendees went forward and kneeled down in praise and prayer to the Lord. Then another went. There they were, falling at the feet of Jesus. The Holy Spirit was in the room with us. I shared what I saw with them all.
Later I was in the car when the song I can Only Imagine came on. It's a decade old, you don't hear it that often anymore.
To his knees he fell. And the Lord comforted him. Just as the Lord held me, he held Mike.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for holding Mike as he left this world and moved into your Kingdom. Thank you for holding me every moment until I get there too. I can only imagine.

"Will I stand in your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?"
