114 Bible verses about seeing the Glory of God
Being in God's presence, enveloped by His sublime glory... it's an exquisite experience, unlike any other. Being filled by Him means knowing that a single moment in His presence is enough to be transformed, to never be the same again.
His glory changes you, restores you, heals you, sets you free, and takes you to deeper levels in your relationship with the Holy Spirit. That's why, every single day, you should yearn with all your strength, mind, and heart to be filled with His glory.
That's how you'll understand that the most important thing you have is God, and He becomes your greatest need. Encountering God's glory means knowing your sins will be exposed, every bit of hypocrisy revealed. You'll be there before Him, just as you are. But you know what? This glory won't destroy you or condemn you. Instead, it will draw out what's distorted, what's not genuine, and lead you to true repentance, to be conformed to the Father's heart and to be worthy of Christ.
Remember, this same glory will propel you forward. You won't need to strive in your own strength or promote yourself. Jesus will take you to places you can't even imagine because He's forming His character in you. He trusts you enough to reveal His mysteries to you and to position you before others.
It's by God's glory that you achieve all your goals, so that there's nothing in your heart to boast about, except knowing Jesus. Your only reason for boasting will be that good things are spoken of you in Heaven.

He measured the city with the measuring rod at fourteen hundred miles (its length and width and height are equal).He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s.The city’s wall is made of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.The foundations of the city’s wall are decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,And I saw the holy city – the new Jerusalem – descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.And the twelve gates are twelve pearls – each one of the gates is made from just one pearl!

The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them.He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.”
