The Book of Revelations gives us signs to watch for, and Jesus urges us to be ready for His return. I pray that I am wrong and we have a thousand years yet to live upon this earth. However, with current events being what they are, I fear for my children and grandchildren, that they will be forced to make a life or death choice in their lifetime, possibly in my lifetime. I know that God is the final victor, and that makes me happy. I pray that those who must fight the final battles will have the strength and fortitude and especially the faith needed to stand up to Satan.<br />I believe God gives us signs to watch for, so that we will think about our futures and repent from our sins, and turn our lives over to God. I also believe that we should be talking about this to others, so they can repent also. I see this world becoming a very sinful place, where in some places, simply praying to God can create legal and ethical situations that are harmful. That is simply wrong. I see schools denying Christian children the right to pray in their own faith, but are indoctrinating our children into a faith that not only condones killing, but demands it. I must admit, this is frightening to me, even though I know God wins in the end, I fear the suffering that will lead up to that point. I pray I will make the right decisions when the time comes. <br />I pray you and your family find peace and have a happy Thanksgiving.<br />NurseArtisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13722433622899562506noreply@blogger.com
