URGENT

After My ascension into heaven, My disciples had a sense of urgency in their spirits.  They felt like I would return soon.  It was that sense of urgency that empowered those early believers in Me to reach out with the gospel to as many nations as possible.

My desire is that My body on earth now would have that same sense of urgency.  Some say that I will return soon and others believe that it will be a long season before My return.  It is not for you to know the day of My return, but you can know the season.  Even I do not know the exact date of My return.  Only My Father knows the time when all that must be accomplished on earth in preparation of My coming has been completed.

I want you to have a daily sense of urgency about My return.  A crown of righteousness is laid up in heaven for all those who eagerly await My appearing.  Live each day as if today might be the day of My return.  When you live this way, you will not be subject to My enemy's attempts to lull you into an apathetic, lazy attitude.  Witness to all you encounter daily because those you share My good news with might not have another chance to receive Me as their Lord and Savior.
