So I just have to get this all off of my chest. My husband is so eagerly awaiting the world's end...just to be called up to live with Jesus for the rest of eternity! He talks about it so frequently Grace actually asked me the other day if today was the day we got to "fly up with Jesus"! I was careful to make sure to tell her that no one knows the time or day, except for God. She continued on to ask about different family members and if they would be flying up with us. That thought almost broke my heart. How do you tell a 3 year old that certain loved relatives would not be going with us if they didn't make a decision for Christ? Not an easy conversation! That led me to think, though. Everyone keeps saying the end is near, and the signs are there more and more each day. So what on earth are we all waiting for? I want my loved ones with me for eternity, and if we don't make a real effort, it could be too late! Why would we say "Oh that's a topic for another day!" when we know that it could happen in 5 minutes, or in 5 years! NO ONE KNOWS! So why do we put off telling others? Why do we let them live their lives with no interference? They need interference! I do not want to see a young niece or nephew on their way to Hell asking me why I didn't tell them. Why I would let them go to Hell. There is no child too young...if they understand it, they can ask Jesus into their heart. I've heard stories of 2 5 year olds this week alone that made professions of faith and repented and asked Jesus to save them. There is no adult too old! That crabby old man next door who is well into his 90's could accept Jesus as his savior just as easily as that small child! I just have to ask, why wait? Why put it off? I can see it coming, can you?
I know that this post may irritate some people, but this is my personal opinion and I felt strongly that it needed to be written. Maybe someone out there needed this reminder! I certainly know I did!
Have a blessed day, and tell someone about the saving grace of Jesus!
