Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory and all the holy angles with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.”
Dear God,
Thank You for the plan of salvation, that provides a way for my sins to be forgiven and for me to be accepted by You, God the Father. Jesus our Judge and King will call those who have accepted Him and have prepared their hearts, when He makes up His group of saints, to travel back to heaven with Him. It is my sincere hope that I will repent of my every sin, and then ask to be forgiven and cleansed. Jesus will then cover me with His imputed righteousness, and I will be seen as having His likeness.
Only when Jesus has my heart, can I be someone like Him and then, I (we) treat all other people as if they were in fact Jesus. Matthew 25:34 – 36 “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in, I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’”
Lord, I am thankful that You love me enough to rescue me form eternal damnation, even though I will never personally deserve this. I embrace all You offer, and choose You as My God and Saviour again today.
Amen
Matthew 24:12, 13 “Because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”
Dear God,
I thank You for my life, and for the privilege of being able to live safely in peaceful natural surroundings. I need Your assistance and pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit, so I know how You want me to prepare and be sanctified. It is also my prayer that I will accurately know and do Your bidding and service, in the way You have directed me. I dare not go ahead without the promised wisdom and power for every aspect of living my life, because my mind is always popping up with ideas with enthusiasm. Many times in the past, I have been guilty of running off after my own ideas, which did not actually represent You.
Thank You, that You are gradually changing me, so that I am more likely now, to seek Your will before I run after my ‘brain wave’ and wear myself out unnecessarily or fail to be productive.
The prophecies tell us, that Your Son, Jesus is coming again soon, even though we know not when. With that knowledge, I pray that, I and as many other people as possible will be prepared. It would be tragic if I and many others were found to be unprepared and subsequently rejected as His child, when Jesus comes again. Especially if I (we) had been thinking all the time I (we) have prepared as the ‘5 wise virgins’ and were found to be not adequately prepared like the ‘5 foolish virgins’ and had also left it too late to make amends.
Because You are God, You want all of us to be saved. I rejoice that You work upon my heart and mind in love, so that my sins are revealed to me, bringing me to acceptance , then to of my own will, confess and surrender myself to You; with forgiveness and healing followed by growth.
I praise Your holy name and give praise, for You are entirely worthy and precious to me.
Amen
