Well I can say it's been awhile since I have been here. Too many things going on in this world of ours, and I just feel the presence of the Lord coming closer and closer. I am not the only one to feel that either. It's spoken of in Matthew 24, about how the world will be acting right before Jesus comes again.
I'd swear that these things have been happening for some time now, as this is the chapter that brought me to believing in the Lord to begin with, and that was way back in 1980. So there you have it. I am excited that we are closer to the Lord's return today, than I was in 1980.
I know that things are becoming more intense, and the world seems to get a little more crazy every day. Just watch your own local news and then turn to the world news and you would see that more and more cases of murder/suicide are happening, that the murder of more children are happening and that destruction around the world intensifies as more and more earthquakes, Tsunamis and wars and rumors of wars take place.
Some how, I can also sense people's fear in these things when Jesus clearly states to not be afraid. In fact fear is the enemy of God, and fear is a spirit that can be conquered, but I sense that spirit being more and more active as the days grow colder and colder, and the world goes further and further into darkness. Now that sounds like the end of every good story between good and evil, and never once have I ever heard where evil prevailed over good for eternity.
In every story, the good always comes out 'good' in the end, and evil is completely vanquished. ALWAYS!
I know Jesus didn't intend that it should be any other way now.
So, I continue to live as though my Jesus will return soon, and so socially and economically I plan for the things in life that will help me to continue to live a beautiful life. I never said parts of my life haven't been quite stressful, they have...but what I am saying is that I still in spite of all the devil's attempts to make me a loser, I still am a winner. I come out sunny side up in the end. That alone should make anybody feel like life is just beautiful.....and I do. I feel my life has been absolutely beautiful! .....and that, is what keeps me living my life spiritually as though Jesus is already here.
So, live your life beautifully, as though Jesus is already here. Stop worrying about the Tsunamis of the world, the quakes that shake your faith up and the explosions that rock your brain. Remember, in the end that you come out sunny side up and have a life with Jesus. Amen!
