For thought and meditation

He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

—Revelation 22:20

Half of all Americans today claim to be born again. Even more claim to believe in God. If you want to apply a real litmus test to your relationship with God, or lack thereof, then let’s say, for the sake of a point, that we knew Jesus Christ was coming back exactly 15 minutes from now. How would that grab you?

If your heart jumps and you say, as the apostle John did, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” then I would say your life is right with God.

But if your heart sinks and you say, “Fifteen minutes? I have some big-time repenting to do,” then I would say your life is not right with Him.

A person who is walking with God as he or she ought to should always be looking forward to the Lord’s return. A person who really knows God should always be a little homesick for Heaven. Are you?

If Jesus Christ were to return today (and He could), would you be ready? Jesus said, “One will be taken and the other left” (Matthew 24:40). Some people will be left when the Lord comes for His church. What would happen to you?

And there is always the possibility that death could come. You don’t know for sure. No one does. What if this were your last opportunity to get right with God, and you let it slip by because you thought there would be a tomorrow, there would always be another opportunity? You don’t know that.

The Bible tells us that the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live’” (2 Kings 20:1). Are you prepared to meet God? Don’t wait. Get your life right with Him now

30 seconds would be fine with me. I think I would be ok with 3 seconds.

Come Lord, I await your return. You called, I have come.

Thank you rl69 . We do need to be ready , it's a good thought provoking message .

Reminds me of the small church preacher preaching the same kind of message. Cought up in the spirit he shouted out, "everybody that wants to go to heaven, raise your hand! Amen! ". All but one boy near the front shot up a hand, some both! The preacher was astonished, stopped the sermon, and asked the boy, "son, don't you want to go to heaven with all of us? ". Then the boy replied, "yes sir, but I thought we was leaving rite now! ". Are we ready to leave rite now?

A great lesson. If we ain't ready we better get that way, cause the trains coming, ready or not!

If we love God with all our heart, we will long to be with him! All this I want to go to heaven but I don't want to go right now will end. But if we truly love our neighbor as we love our selves we will long to get just one more

Is your prayer for him to give you enough time to get just one more?
