Devotion: The Return
We go about our business.Everything as usual.Suddenly it all changes,Jesus has returnedNot for those who lie and stealAnd wink at sinNot for those bent on revengeFilled with anger and unforgivenessNot for those for whom religionIs a talisman or traditionRather than a faithful relationshipNot for those who valueFinances,Power,PrestigeBackground and educationAbove HimCreator; LordFor those who seek peace and hopeIn government or a charismatic leaderRather than salvation inThe living WordHe comes for those who honor HimIn Heart, soul, mind,In thought, word and deed.Is my heart ready for Him.?When He comesWill He find me faithful?I Thessalonians 5:2-3, 9 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. ...For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
