God's Promise! (:

Many of us try as hard as we can to witness, and witness well at that. I, myself, sometimes get discouraged because of fear I won't have the answers to people's questions. One time (when I was probably 10 years old lol) I was speaking with a nonbeliever and they asked me a question of which I was unsure of the answer.

They said, "Taylre, if your such a "big Christian" and all, then tell me something."

I braced myself and nodded confidently. They spoke again, "Well, since you say "God tells you things, when is the end of time? huh?"

I just looked at my friend, with tears welling in my eyes, and told them I didn't have the answer.

I will just be honest with you ,friends. I felt like a COMPLETE FAILURE. I went home from school that day and prayed as hard as I could that God would somehow miraculously give me the answer (I was probably expecting an exact date lol). I had felt like God had sorta let me down. I mean here I was trying so hard to do the right thing and then I am challenged in a way that I can't win.

I sat down on the couch and began to read my Bible. Once again, at random, I opened up to an unexpected passage. And this is what I read.....

ACTS 1:7-8

7 He said to them: "It is not for you to

know the times or dates the Father has set

by His own authority.

8 But you will receive power when

the Holy Spirit comes on you;

and you will be my witness in Jerusalem,

and in all Judea and Samaria and

to the ends of the earth."

This is a perfect example of God's promise. Sometimes we get so caught up in our world that we forget there is a bigger picture that we NEED to be a part of. God will return, He promised. God does not break His promises. :)

Like I said, God will come back, but no one (that's right not one! lol) knows when, except for Him. God already has that millennium, century, decade, year, month, week, day, hour, minute, and second planned for his return.

While there is a lot we don't know about when he is coming, we do know that He is coming. I'm not saying it won't be in 2012, and I'm not saying it will be. It might be tomorrow, or today, or whenever.

What I am saying is our Father is the ONLY one that knows. The real question isn't when is He coming.. but will you be ready?

Think about it!

and Just remember...

God's Promise! (:

Thanks for reading!

God Bless! (:

Taylre!
