Christian Reflection and Prayer

"The Lord isn't really being slow about His promise to return,
as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake.
He does not want anyone to perish, so He is giving more time
for everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as
unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with
a terrible noise, and everything in them will disappear in fire,
and the earth and everything on it will be exposed to
judgment.
Since everything around us is going to melt away, what holy,
godly lives you should be living! You should look forward to
that day and hurry it along--the day when God will set the
heavens on fire and the elements will melt away in the flames.
But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new
earth He promised, a world where everyone is right with
God.
And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these
things to happen, make every effort to live a pure and
blameless. life. And be at peace with God.
And remember, the Lord is waiting so that people have
time to be saved. (2 Peter 3:9-15a) NLT

Reflection:

You know there has always been a lot of speculation
about the coming of Jesus Christ. I don't know, but
there is one thing I do know for a fact, I'm closer to that
great day right now than I was yesterday. I'm going
to ask myself a question and maybe you can ask
the same question of yourself. What will Jesus
fine me doing when He returns? I really believe I
have to be faithful when Christ returns, because for
one thing, I know I won't be perfect. Since I don't
know when my Savior will return, I need to really
dedicate living every moment for Jesus Christ.
If I can do this one thing, then I don't have worry
about when Jesus is coming. Just that one thing and
I'm alright. I do take comfort in 2 Peter, where it says,
"He does not want anyone to perish, so He is giving more time
for everyone to repent." So, even though I'm anxious for Christ's
return, I can wait because I have family and friends who need
to be prepared and you know, along with the Holy Spirit, I'm
just the person that can help in that preparation! He's
coming are YOU ready!!!!!!!

Prayer:

Oh Lord I know that you can come at any time, please
help me in my walk with You, that I be always faithful,
so that when you return I will be ready. THANK YOU
GOD FOR BEING GOD, IN JESUS NAME AMEN
