The Secret to This Is Not Fear

Good morning, y’all!! I’m glad to be here and hope you are also.

This morning bright (not to bright) and early, I was reading in Matthew 24And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. …. I’m sure most of you know it by heart. We all are interested in the signs of Jesus’ return. I know I am. Most of those signs are troubling, I can’t see any good and noble thing in them. As bad as it is foretold, I am still looking forward to it. Crazy right? I really don’t like this worlds actions right now, it’s absolutely disgusting the way we all treat each other, the things we condone, even support. Not just America but the whole world. What I do know is that Jesus told us it would happen, had to happen and to watch for it. To stand steady, faithful, endure. He’s on his way. The secret to this is not fear, nor capitulation, not surrender or worry. It’s joy. I’ve lived most of my life looking for Jesus, longing to see him and it’s almost time!! How exciting is that? My prayer is that if it comes in my time that I will be a beacon of light so that others might not despair, that there will be enough of us willing to stand for Jesus that others will find their way home. As a child waiting was not my best trait. I just didn’t have it in me to sit patiently and WAIT. I still don’t. Can you even imagine what it will be like for those of us READY when that sky splits and the trumpet blows and we get a glimpse of what’s riding on a cloud? It’s fine with me if you think I’ve lost it. If you know you know! Enough said.

Until then we have work to do.

Love, Pam
