Uncomfortable Truth

Our Heavenly Father endures the outcry of His suffering saints for one reason and one reason alone, and that is for the sake of the unsaved. If the work of offering salvation to those who are able to be rescued were complete, then the Lord would hasten to return and end the suffering of this broken world once and for all.

What have we done to further His cause of saving those who are lost?

We can anesthetize the pain that is the inevitable result of living in a broken world. We can hide in our houses and pull the covers of comfort over our heads. We can allow fear to separate us from an awareness of God’s will for those who are in need of our ministering hands and hearts.

Or we can say, “Here I am, send me,” (Isaiah 6:8) and, “Come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20).

Our participation in His work hastens the time of His return. Our desire for perfect unity with Him fuels our efforts to speed His return. If we truly desire His return, we will want to help in the effort to complete His work.
