From Gary... Waiting


Reminds me of my dog Pal. My wife tells me that every single time I leave the house he goes to the study and sits patiently in front of the sliding glass door until I return. It makes no difference if its 30 minutes or 6 or more hours, he sits, he waits, he watches, period.

And then I come home. He scratches at the glass, jumps up and down and keeps on doing it until I pet him and redirect his excitement by my usual "in you go"- and he does.

This is love and faithfulness to the nth degree!!!!

Would someone define us a being full of love and faithfulness?

Consider....

1 Thessalonians, Chapter 4 (WEB)
13  But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.  14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.  16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,  17 then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.  18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 

Christians: Patiently wait, Jesus will come!!! Believe it, because its true!!!
