"The Prophet (SAWS) said, 'Whoever loves the Meeting with Allah, Allah too loves the Meeting with him; and whoever hates the Meeting with Allah, Allah too hates the Meeting with him'."
(Sahih al-Bukhari)
"Lost indeed are they
Who treat it as a falsehood
That they must meet Allah -
Until on a sudden
The hour is on them,
And they say:
'Ah! woe
Unto us that we took
No thought of it'..."
(The Meaning of the Holy Qur'an by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, 6:31)
The footnote accompanying the above verse is vivid, personifying a man's sins as ugly demons that he will carry on his back, and a man's good deeds as a strong patient mount that will carry him on its back.

Just finished listening to Dars (lesson) 10 of Aqidah Tahawi by Mufti Abdur-Rahman Ibn Yusuf about the meeting with Allah and not for us to beg the "how" question.
It brought to mind this beautiful, emotional video (the words of Ibn Qayyim (RA)) narrating the occasion when the residents of Paradise shall meet with Allah:
