Very encouraging to read!
But also so true! Jesus's return is nearing by, it is closer to us than ever!
It is just the human mind, looking at what can be seen and what has been, and then judging His coming based from this. We are so foolish when we base our understanding from human knowledge! Trusting in this rather than in God!
A human life is as His Word says;
"whereas you do not know what
will happen tomorrow. For what
is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away."(James 4:14)
Looking from a human mindset; When comparing this with the times that have been, looking back and until now in the present, it seems like it has taken the Lord Jesus long to return back. In a busy minded world of it's own, many will think this way. But once we are out and gone from this world, who knows how quick everything will go? As time for God is differently set than how time with us is set, what we think of as long lived is seen more like a moment for God in comparison.
Thinking of this makes one grow in more admiration given to Him! As we cannot fully see nor comprehend His Greatness! We can keep on admiring Him and being amazed by Him, every day!
And again; Since we are aware of Him coming back soon, this should indeed make us want to reach out to the lost more zealously! And waking up more God's fear within us, as His return will not be a joyous day for everyone! For those who belong to Him, it will be a day of great joy! But to those who are lost, it will be a day of terror!
Thank you for sharing this poem with us, it has been of great encouragement for me this morning!
God keep on blessing you and inspiring you with your writing, and that it may continue being used for His glory!
