"The Lord is not really being slow about His promise of returning, as some people think. No, THE LORD IS BEING PATIENT FOR YOUR SAKE! God does not want anyone to be destroyed, He wants everyone to Repent."
The Lord promised that He would come back to the earth for His Redeemed, at the Second Coming! Today would be a good day for that event! True believer's would rather be in Heaven with Jesus Christ the Lord God, then remain here on our imperfect earth. Would you rather be in perfection for eternity or in corruption here on earth; where you will wither and die? True believer's do not fear death, for it has no sting and there is no victory for the enemy. To be absent from our body is to be present with the Lord. Eternal Grace is our ultimate goal and should be the desire of our hearts. The human problem is that we have a desire for all those we love to come to know the Lord and Repent of their sins so that they too can be Saved. We do not want to be separated from those we care about and see them destroyed. THE LORD IS BEING PATIENT FOR YOUR SAKE!
The Lord does not want to see anyone destroyed, because He loves us all. It is the Lord's desire that all will come to repentance and open their hearts to allow Him to dwell with them. That is the reason that He tarries or delays His return. God is not being slow as some think, and He will return as He said. He is delaying His return for those of you who have not made the choice to believe in Him. He has chosen you, have you chosen Him? When you compare eternal separation and damnation, with the perfection and bliss of heaven, there is only one rational decision. If you have rejected God, THE LORD IS BEING PATIENT FOR YOUR SAKE!
Remember also that a day is like a thousand years to the Lord and a thousand years is like a day to God. His time is not our time. Our lives are short, here today and gone tomorrow. We need to understand that the Lord is not being slow, He is showing His love for you! The Lord's timing will be perfect, and no man will know the day or the hour. He will come unexpectedly like a thief in the night. This time it will be in power and finality. God does not want a single person to perish or suffer eternal damnation. Non believer's need to fear the second death that comes when you have not been "born again". In a way, it is selfish of us to cry out for the Lord's return, because we know of our final destination. We need to appreciate His Mercy and Love and Long Suffering for unbeliever's. THE LORD IS BEING PATIENT FOR YOUR SAKE!
