think Jesus would want me to share this with you..............

 

Judith, thank you for this timely post.  Just yesterday evening, I told the Lord that it doesn't matter if He comes now or in a thousand years, that my emphasis will be on Him and not the rapture.  I will still have an interest in the rapture, but it will not dominate my walk with the Lord. 

 

After making that admission, I felt a freedom I have not felt in years.  And now I can better love all of my brothers and sisters in Christ, even those who do not see eschatology the way I do.  I was getting way too deep into the endtime events and not enjoying all of the blessings God has given to me and my family in the here and now.

 

Occupy till He comes.....stop to smell the roses, admire the beauty God has placed around us, stop fretting and even "wanting" to see destruction arrive so we can see some signpost.  God is not the author of confusion and He tells us not to fear, because He is with us, even until the end. 

 

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
