Ready to meet Him...

“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” (Revelation 3:11)

In the last days, there shall be a time of tribulation such as has never been upon the face of the earth. Some have thought that we should stock up food and learn self-sufficient habits so that we will be able to live on our own and hide from the government. Is that the solution?

Some use the coming tribulation to convince others to get ready to meet Jesus. It’s coming ever closer, and so we should be afraid and get ready because it’s coming. Is that the right spirit?

Jesus is coming soon, and we need to be ready to meet Him. Why? Out of fear? No… out of love.

If we love Him, it will be a joy to get ready to meet Him. The more we trust Him, the less we will fear what men may do to us.

And please, please, if you’re not ready… Don’t wait. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to turn around. We are not promised tomorrow – only this moment. Life is too fragile to put these things off…

To meet Him with joy, when He comes in the clouds… To hear the words, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant…”

It’s worth any sacrifice…
