Pensamento:
Não sei sobre você, mas estou pronto para ver as "primeiras coisas" passarem. O fim de lágrimas, morte, luto, choro e dor soa bem aos meus ouvidos! Por isso os cristãos do primeiro século diziam "Maranata! Venha, Senhor Jesus!" Ansiavam a chegada de Jesus.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I don't know about you, but I'm kind of ready for that old order stuff to go away. The end of tears, death, mourning, crying, violence, abuse, suffering, war, divisive politics, and pain sounds pretty good to me! No wonder the early Christians would say, "Marantha. Come, O Lord" (1 Corinthians 16:22). They couldn't wait. How about us? How about you? What is keeping you from saying, "Lord Jesus, please come, and come soon? I urge you to put it aside, or put it under the lordship of Jesus, and use that move to make you ready to receive the glory yet to be revealed in us (Romans 8:18; Colossians 3:3-4). Let's make ourselves ready for the time when:
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Oração:
Santo Deus, ajude-me enquanto tento continuar a lhe servir fielmente. Meu desejo é ser firme no meu amor e no meu viver para o Senhor até o dia glorioso que tantos filhos seus têm ansiado através dos séculos. Anseio vê-Lo na Sua glória e compartilhar na Sua presença e juntar-me com os santos de toda a eternidade, louvando-lhe ao redor do seu glorioso trono. Através de Jesus eu oro. Amém. || Veja a imagem especial: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_apocalipse21_2-4.html
My Prayer...
Holy God, please help me as I try to serve you faithfully and yearn for Jesus' return. I desire to be steadfast in my love, living for you until the glorious day that so many of your children have longed to experience over the centuries. I long to see you in your glory, to share in your presence, and to join with the saints of all ages praising you around your glorious throne. And yes, dear Father, I long for you to wipe away all my tears and welcome me home. Because of Jesus' victory, and by his authority, I offer my prayer in holy expectation. Amen.
