Greetings,
Someday very soon, Christ is coming to take His beloved Church away, so we can ever be with Him. No one knows the exact day or hour, but the Bible gives us many signs that will precede His coming. These are meant to serve as a wake-up call to those who aren’t serving God.
Every generation has seen some of the things that Jesus spoke about, but our generation is experiencing the fulfillment of EVERY sign. Today’s news headlines are like reading from Matthew, chapter 24, or Luke, chapter 21. We must live so close to our Lord that we are ready and waiting for His return.
However, His coming is not something a child of God should fear. Christ longs for us to be with Him forever. He loves us and we love Him. It should be both comforting and encouraging to know that we will soon be united with our Lord. We see a picture of this in scripture. In the Song of Songs, the king calls out to his bride in love.
Song of Songs 2:10-11 (NKJV) – “My beloved spoke, and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away. [11] For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.”
We love Your Presence, dear Jesus. When we are in Your Presence, our hearts are overwhelmed with joy. To think that we will someday enjoy Your Presence throughout eternity fills me with inexpressible gratitude. I long to see You, my Lord. I long to be with You forever. Thank You for the hope that I have beyond this life!
Does anyone remember when we had “camp meetings?” When this song popped up on my YouTube channel, it brought back a flood of memories!
Today, I’m worshiping with Limie Patton and “Going Up Yonder.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
