There are some days that come along and you are REALLY GENUINELY praying for Jesus to come back, right at this very minute! Today was one of those days! I think I would give just about anything for the Lord to return for His church RIGHT NOW! Now I understand that it is not going to happen right this minute (which doesn't stop me from wishing it would). For starters there are too many people who still have not heard His Name and secondly, the church, His Bride, is certainly not without spot or wrinkle yet. At the same time... Oh Happy Day... Oh Happy Day... well you get the point!
No, I didn't pray with anyone. In fact for the majority of the day I was pretty much wishing that there were no other people ... or at least certain other people ... on the planet. Now I know this isn't the most Christian thing to say... but it is what it is... And unfortunately for me it happens to be where my heart is residing at the moment. I was discussing this particular situation with the Lord this afternoon - well let's be real - I was whining to Him about it. "Can't I just go away for a while... Even Jesus had to get away from the people for a little while" - said in my best whinny voice. The Father then reminded me that Jesus went in to the desert and that I didn't really care for being in the desert. "True Story," I said.
Then He reminded me that Jesus dealt with other people's hurtful behavior and so can I. Then we prayed together and I felt a little better. I still wish my flight left tomorrow though!
