Good morning Heartstrings family,

When you look around you, hear news media, the noise from godless neighbors, and you see that something big is coming...you better expect to be found in Christ. We don't know what tomorrow brings but, I pray you will stand strong and sure in the Almighty.

In Matthew 24;36-44 we read, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be."

Again as Jesus was speaking in Matthew 25:1-13..."Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the wise answered saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.' And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'

Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."

Pause a moment and consider what it will be like for those who thought they were saved, but not received. The wording is simple, powerful and should make you more in tune to the Spirit guiding you to tell others the Good News. The only way to be redeemed back to the Father. Many times I have read these passages yet, only recently have I begun to really grasp the passion behind Jesus words. You don't want to be left standing there and not be accepted!

Have you made Jesus your Lord and Savior today? It is simply coming to Him, humble and repenting of your sins. Tell Him you believe He is the Son of God and you want to surrender your life to Jesus. Ask Him to set your feet on a right path. From that point, you now have a seal of approval upon your life. Holy Spirit will be with you through the journey ahead. You will never be alone and heading to eternal judgement. Praise the Lord!

Do you know how much you are loved? You can be without the love of family and friends and still be covered in the Grace of the Lord. There is joy unspeakable waiting for you today! Bless you while you wait for His call to join Him in heaven forever! And, keep watching for His appearing. Any day now!

Abundance is...watch while you wait
