It Will Not Be Long

[Christ4Ever]

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. (James 5:8)​

The last word in the Canticle of love is, “Make haste, my beloved,” and among the last words of the Apocalypse we read, “The Spirit and the Bride say, Come”; to which the heavenly Bridegroom answers, “Surely I come quickly.” Love longs for the glorious appearing of the Lord and enjoys this sweet promise-”The coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” This stays our minds as to the future. We look out with hope through this window.

This sacred “window of agate” lets in a flood of light upon the present and puts us into fine condition for immediate work or suffering. Are we tired? Then the nearness of our joy whispers patience. Are we growing weary because we do not see the harvest of our seed-sowing? Again this glorious truth cries to us, “Be patient.” Do our multiplied temptations cause us in the least to waver? Then the assurance that before long the Lord will be here preaches to us from this text, “Stablish your hearts.” Be firm, be stable, be constant, “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.” Soon will you hear the silver trumpet which announces the coming of your King. Be not in the least afraid. Hold the fort, for He is coming; yea, He may appear this very day.

Charles Spurgeon

Have you ever woke up early one morning and the words singing in your head is "here comes the bride, all dressed in white."
God is so amazing.
The, Word of Truth, He has spoken to each of our hearts, engrafting it, His wisdom and understanding He has given us, to go forth and be a light unto all the world, being separate from it, and not converted to it; is our cross to bare.
In order for Him to increase, I must decrease.
Perfect love casteth out fear... when God brings me to the point that I love HIM more than anything in this world, forsaking it ALL and follow Him.

The love of God transcends time and space and he is already here in so many ways.
He said"if you love me and keep my commands"(to love one another),that he and the Father will make their abode in us.
So he has gone to prepare a place for us so that where he is we may be also.
It sounds to me like we are the place that he has gone to prepare for us.

All praise, glory and honor be unto God.
God will take that cold, hard heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh. A heart of flesh bleeds for others, more than itself.
