If we had to leave our plans and dreams, and all of our loved ones behind, would we choose to stay here, or go, to be with God? I thought this, recently, and I think it’s good to think about. Because when Jesus returns, it won’t be a peaceful time.
So, be ready. One proof you are ready is, the Bible says, you’re feeding the people around you what the Bible says we should eat: Doing what God wants. The Bible says, in Matthew 24:45-47: “Who then is the faithful and wise slave whom his master has appointed over his services, to give to them the food in season? Blessed is that slave whom his master shall find so doing when He comes. Truly I say to you, He will set him over all belonging to him.” Isn’t that an encouraging promise? That’s reigning with Jesus in heaven forever.
God already knows if we want to leave here and be with Jesus in Heaven. He won’t ask that question; it will be understood by how we’re living our lives.
May it be a happy new year for you and your friends.
