ARE WE READY

“Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”

Matthew 24:44 KJV

We may be saved and serving Jesus but are we ready to meet Him if He should come today?  If we have unforgiveness, bitterness, jealousy, hatred and resentment in our heart, we are not ready to meet Him.  How sad it will be and how it will break our Saviour’s heart if we aren’t ready to meet Him.

Someone said “I will never forgive you for what you did”.  What would happen if Jesus had said to us “I will never forgive you” and hadn’t died on the cross for our sins?  Jesus did forgive us and He did die on the cross for our sins.  If the Saviour of the world can forgive us, we need to forgive those who have hurt us.

If we want others to forgive us for hurting them, we need to forgive those who hurt us.  We need to remember that nobody is perfect.  I have received emails telling me how wonderful I am because I write devotions.  Don’t look to me because I am human and I am not perfect.  Keep your eyes on Jesus!

Heavenly Father, I ask You to please forgive me for the times I have allowed unforgiveness, resentment and bitterness to stay in my heart.  I’m sorry.  Please help us to love one another unconditionally as Jesus has commanded us to love one another.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
