“ARE WE THERE YET?!”

Matthew 24:33

“So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!

 

“Are we there yet?" is one of the most common questions children ask their parents when the family is traveling to a particular destination.  We could be in the middle of the desert with no signs of humanity anywhere when that question would pop up. I must confess that I have been tempted to stop the car in the middle of a barren area and announce: “We are here!” I wonder what they would have said.

 

As we travel through the desert places of this life we often are prone to ask ourselves the same  question our children asked of us: “Are we there yet?” The answer for us may very well be the same as we gave our kids: “Look around you. Do you think we are close?”

 

The honest answer in our own life is that we are getting nearer and nearer each day. This is true in at least two ways: The first is that we never know when our heart will stop and we will be transported to the Paradise of God; the second is that the trump will sound and we will be raptured to be with the Lord forever.

 

In either case, we need to work with all of our ability to perform the tasks that the Lord has prepared for us to accomplish. Rather than being impatient for His return, we simply need to be faithful until He calls us to our forever home!

 

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
