This may tell where your heart is!



Are you excitedly awaiting the return of Jesus? Seriously? Or is Jesus just your ticket to heaven and nothing else? Your answer just may reveal something about your heart! Look at this verse:

Hebrews 9:28
28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Did you catch that "eagerly awaiting for Him"? You see for those who have truly given their lives to follow Jesus, we are watching eagerly for Him to return because this place we are at now is not our home!

Check out these verses:

Philippians 3:20
20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Hebrews 13:14
14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

We must be very careful to not want to hold onto this world and the things of it. Are we eagerly awaiting Jesus or are we wanting the worldly pleasures and don't want Jesus to interrupt our plans? Ouch!

Remember what our love for is to be like?

Luke 14:26
26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

Our love for Jesus is be incomparable to anyone or anything else!

So what is your heart telling you right now? You longing for Jesus? If not you might ought to pour out your heart to God and spend sometime with Him!

Oh come Jesus come! Take me home!!!
