Three Words: He Is coming

Look around, what do you see happening on our Earth right now? Pollution? Look again. Global Warming? Look again. Earthquakes and Tsunamis? Almost there. World Disasters? There we go. Recently, there are been many earthquakes happening, many tsunamis and many... unpleasant things. People often think of Canada as a good place because nothing happened, other than that mini earthquake that took place last year. But honestly, no one can say for sure that absolutely nothing will happen to Canada because truthfully... it's unpredictable. Other than a video my friend showed me of a guy predicting North America to be next in line for earthquakes, and apparently, this guy is never wrong in his predictions. But who knows? Even he may be wrong.

So what happened to Japan was indeed, very devastating, and still, we #prayforJapan. Why? Because we can. After the earthquake, Japan has officially moved about 16 fts closer to USA. Which opened my eyes to see our world changing bit by bit and loads by... loads.

And this all brings us back to what people are saying. That the coming of our Lord is near, and that we must prepare. Truthfully, I am not ready. Neither are many others, but that is what makes everything scary. We're so unprepared... so how many of us are going up to Heaven exactly? Probably less than half the world's population, or even less than one eighth; but who knows? Are you ready? Let me ask again, ARE YOU READY? That's really the only question there is to ask yourself right now. Are you ready for when Jesus comes? Are you ready for the moment when your soul is taken from your body and brought back up with Jesus?

There are so many questions to ask at the moment, that sometimes you get so confused and become unsure of things. I tell myself "I'm a Christian, of course I'm ready to go with Jesus", but am I really? I think over it and say "But wait... I don't know anything. I don't know anything about the Heavens and the Hells. Where do I go?". Jesus is coming, that is definitely true. Ask yourself, are you ready? Like the 10 virgins in the bible, only 5 were prepared to go when the prince came because they were ready. They brought extra wax so that when they run out, they can replace the old with the new. The other 5, missed their chance because they were unprepared. So perhaps... within all the Christians there are on Earth, only half will be saved?

The thought of death alone scares me. Knowing that Jesus is coming... is supposed to be something you rejoice over right? But also knowing that the world will collapse and split in two isn't so reassuring. I fear more than I am excited. Someone at church, someone who was a friend of my parents, someone who was older, told me that "Jesus is coming. He won't be coming in my life time, but you, he will be coming in your life time. Be happy about it and be prepared for the coming of Jesus because it's exciting. It's so exciting that Jesus is coming! Your soul will be lifted from your body and you will enter the gates of heaven!". On the other hand my mom said we're supposed to fear the Lord. I dont think she meant to literally fear the Lord, I mean, the Lord is just so GREAT. Why fear him? But I do wonder what Heaven is like... I imagine fluffy clouds and a wide open space. And on one side, a big.. I don't know, something that looks like where greek gods live... But it was white and gold. PURE white and gold. And the pavements are made of real gold for I heard that in heaven, stones are worth more than gold. It was just a grand place.

So many questions for God, but so little time, and I mean literally, so little time. But is there enough time to patch up your relationship with God? I know my relationship with him isn't good. My mom often tells me that when Jesus comes, he won't take me because I am not doing anything to keep my relationship with God. My Love Relationship with God. How much do I love him? Any person would say "I love him the most" but is that REALLY how you feel? I want to patch up my relationship with God. To have an intimate relationship with him... but I feel that it could be too late. My purpose for doing so is not because I want to, it's because I'm scared that I won't go to Heaven. Now, whether that reason alone is good enough or not, I'll never know. But I know that that reason, is definitely not a good reason. For sure it must be one of the reasons why we all want a better relationship, but i wouldn't say that it's the best reason ever.

Lord, I pray that you open the eyes of the people in the world. Let them know that you are coming and that it's not too late to turn away from all sins and evil and come join you. Let them know that your arms are still open and willing to grab them and embrace them with a hug. Let them know you're still there even until the last second before the inevitable happens but when it does happen, it'll be too late. You're like the ark in Noah's ark and we are the people and animal. You're opened to everyone, and we, the humans and animals, walk towards you where you can protect us from the flood, the earthquakes and tsunamis and all natural disasters. And from that on, whoever chooses not to come in, will be swept away because when God told Noah to close the ark and when he started the flood, many were in pain and wept. Many called out to Noah to tell him to open up the ark, but in your command, he didn't. I know it must've pained you to have to do that too all many of your children, but it was for the better future of the World. But the world at the moment isn't any good, in fact, it could be worse. Satan is on the verge of breaking loose and you're the only one who can stop him. And so just like Noah and the ark, when you tell Jesus to bring back all those who have been saved and believes in your name, those who have not been saved will be locked away from the "ark" and will suffer. So Lord, please shine your light among everyone and show the world that it's not too late for them to choose you, to choose the light and not the dark. Many are afraid of the truth, and though it is hard to follow the truth and be a Christian, I can wholeheartedly say that I do not regret knowing you. That after I found you, I found peace within my soul. Who knows where I could've been right now if not for you? Would I still be me? Or would I be completely different? Let people know that knowing you will bring peace in their heart. I pray that they will be saved.

To my friend who may be coming Sunday: bring your bible. Like we planned, we'll be bible studying and trying to patch our relationship with God because we want to. Not because we have to, but because we choose to. Operation have an intimate relationship with God.. it starts now.

Anddd just a side note: JESUS LOVES YOU, because GOD IS LOVE.

My awesome GOD IS LOVE shirt that I got when I went to USA over the March Break. The back says:
"God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself.
Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts -
It's falling in love with God.
Read Matthew 22:37-40"
Strong message on T-shirt? I think so.
