Come Quickly!

Revelation 22:7-17 (click to read more)

Jesus Is Coming
7"Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."

12"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

14"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.


Bee's Thoughts:

I can't held back my tears anymore when I read the title of the above devotion, "Come Quickly!"


Dear Lord,
Yes, please come quickly. I am suffering a lot! I pine after You. I have waited for a long time for You. Please come quickly, Lord. Do You hear my cry? Do You feel my pain? Hold me tight so I won't fall. :'(

I want to trust in You. I want to believe that You will come. I want to run the race with fellow believers. I want to deny myself and take up my cross to follow You. Please give me strength now and let me not be shaken. Let me be what You want me to be. Hear my plea, Lord.
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Tommy's Thoughts:

God alone is worthy of our worship and adoration. We need to examine our lives whether there are other things that we worship, trust and rely on more than God. It may be people, ideas, goals or possessions that become the central place in our heart and mind; crowding God out from our lives.

Dear Father, thank You for Your grace that I can devote my life to You, praising and worshiping You all the time. Remind me O Lord of any distraction that pull me down and stop me from going to You daily. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
