"The bride"
What should be the attitude of the bride as we await the return
of the groom? I have heard some say it doesn't concern
them when he returns; others say when it happens it happens;
others say stop dwelling on it especially the men. Why the oh
the nonchalant attitude? Why oh why this disdain for the arrival
of the King? We shall see him as he sees us face to face joy
unspeakable!!! I for one as some of the ones that truly feel
isolated by their family; friends; long to see him to be rid of
this temporary tent I live and groan in... this world has become
foreign to me. It hurts knowing others around the world are
suffering more than me as they also await the return ... Is it
such a no big deal event?? Should it not be!!!!!!! We will
cheat death ... imagine that for a moment... I watch my mother
who is on hospice slowly fade away and wonder if she will cheat
death.... you see it will be the greatest reward to ever
obtain... beyond being saved............... to see him coming in
the clouds... to see the dead rise first; then to join them ....
what a day that shall be!!!!! May it come.. Lord we are
weary, we wait with a humble heart knowing one day joy
unspeakable will come... can you almost hear the cry of the
Lord???
