It's 2:30 a.m., and I have been awake for more than 2 hours. I didn't bother to turn the TV on, I just came straight to the front porch to be alone with Jesus... you might say, I am getting antsy waiting to hear the sound of the Trumpet.
I just finished reading a long, but wonderful study by Jack Kelley (I posted it, if anyone is interested in reading it), and to be honest, I told the Lord that all I seem to be able to think about is my desire to be with Him.
I know that sounds selfish, and maybe I shouldn't admit it out loud, but sometimes I just need to vent my frustrations.
I've been waiting, and watching for the Lord since December 1974. Almost 45 years!
I still remember riding on the back of a motorcycle, holding on to my husband, as we were driving off the base in the Philippines. I looked up at the night stars, and asked the Lord, "Are You coming tonight, Lord Jesus?"
All these years later, I am so grateful He didn't come that night. If He had, I would have been sparred a lot of heartache and pain, but the Joy, and blessings I would have missed... well, all I can say is thank You Jesus! Your timing is ALWAYS the BEST timing.
In my head, I know He will come at the perfect time, but I'm so tired of the evilness in this world, and knowing it's only going to get worse, I can't help but long for our Blessed Hope.
Another frustration is how sad it makes me to know I'm in the minority. Some of you will read this post, and think, "Why does she keep whining about going Home?"
Praise God for those, who are in the minority with me, who will read this post, and understand EXACTLY what I am feeling. 😁
Even so, COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS! AMEN!
MARANATHA!
