It is the end of another month. November is quickly fading away. My boy will be 21 in a couple days. And December will arrive. All of this and I have only seen a handful of snowflakes this season. Snowflakes, mind you. No snow to speak of. Only a couple flakes flying through the air. They hit the ground and stayed just so long to make a mark. December is coming. Christmas is coming. Jesus is coming.

Jesus is coming. How amazing is that? I can hardly wait. Honestly. I hope I live to see the day. I'm actually quite positive it will be somewhere in my lifespan. I cannot wait to look up and see His glorious face descending from the clouds to the Mount of Olives. The looks on those Muslims faces who barricaded their mosques and temples at the Golden Gate... well they'll get a nasty surprise now won't they? But all I'll be focusing on is Jesus. Jesus Christ my risen Lord. I want Him to come right now.
I've been very interested in the end time lately. I have had several discussions on it and have looked through some commentaries. Revelation is amazing. And I quite honestly think a lot of it will be literal. Some will be figurative of course. But I don't doubt that God will plague the earth in very literal horrible ways. It worked in the Old Testament... well for the time being. But this will be all the more worse and the world will not live through it.
Do you ever think if you'd truly be ready for Jesus to return? Not in the sense of being a believer and rising with Him... although that is important of course! If you doubt that please comment and talk to me about it. But no, just in the busy-ness of life in general. When I was a kid I used to think "Well, Jesus can't return yet. I haven't finished my book list or I haven't traveled to this place. I haven't gotten married and had kids yet." How selfish is that? I know I wouldn't care about those things once Jesus was here and I was with Him. But for now the earth is important to me. My life is important to me.
But it shouldn't be. I need to be willing to give everything up for Him now. What would be so different between a life fully serving and glorifying Him on earth and Heaven? Won't that indeed be what we are doing? No we won't be singing to Him and bowed in worship for eternity. We will worship Him by our perfect service. We will live as normal as we are now... minus sin. How amazing will that be? We will praise God in our actions and our thoughts. We will praise Him in every little thing we do. We will not have the ability to do otherwise. What if Christians lived that way on earth? What if we had such a great witness as to do everything to the glory of God... truly. We can't do that. We are fallen and we live in a sinful world. But we sure could make a difference by at least trying.
I know I'm a horrible selfish person 99% of the time. I need to make some significant changes in my life. I want to live as though heaven were on earth. I want to live as though Jesus were my best friend and He were right beside me all the time. Isn't He afterall? S often I forget that. He is my best friend. He is my true love. I wouldn't hurt my friends or my boyfriend or my family on purpose. I would try at all costs not to do that. But so often I hurt my Jesus. He should be the most important one in my heart. I need to focus on what HE wants. Not what I want or what my friends want. He is all that matters.
Just some thoughts. Some ramblings. This is what I do.
