Born For Such A Time

This morning as I walked down my driveway and looked at the daffodils that are blooming, I immediately became excited because I know spring is coming soon! My mind then began to think about a song my daughter sent to me and a friend this morning , “Come Jesus Come”. I’ve listened to this song many times and thought, just like being excited for spring, I’m getting more and more excited for the coming of Jesus. But I have to remembered just because I see the daffodis blooming, spring isn’t here yet. I can’t be tricked into believing that. So while I wait I have to prepare. I must sow the seeds for the vegetable garden and the flower garden. I must throw some seeds on our grass to help it grow thicker. But, also just like spring, I know Jesus is coming. Until then I wait. Matthew 24 tells us what signs to look for. Matthew 25 tells about the ten virgins and how the foolish ones didn’t prepare. They didn’t keep their lamps filled with oil. Then Jesus goes on in Matthew 25 to tell about the parables of the Talents and again how the foolish ones didn’t use their talents to sow the seeds of salvation. Don’t get tricked. Don’t believe lies. Don’t follow the wrong signs. Know what the Bible says.
1 Timothy 4:1 tells us “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,”. I pray today we all prepare for the coming of Jesus because just like spring, He is definitely coming and I want to be ready and I want all my family and friends to be ready. 🙏🌼

“Born for such a time as this.”
How often did I hear my mother tell me that? A lot! When the role of a caretaker landed on me, there were many times that were very difficult and tiring. Caring for her and then my sister, at the same time was overwhelming to say the least! The responsibility that fell on me was great and heavy. But then my mom would come along and tell me these words she had said so many times, ”You were born for such a time as this.” The unfortunate thing was instead of clinging to God during this time, I tried to handle it all on my on. I lost my sister 3 years ago and my mother almost 2 years ago but it has been during these last 3 years my faith has grown to a level I’ve never known. This has led me to start this page. I hope, that through some encouraging words from scripture and personal experiences, that maybe someone will begin to look at their life and know that whatever circumstances or hardships you may be experiencing, we have a Savior and a Heavenly Father who we can trust and depend on.

“For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

“Perhaps you were born for such a time as this”. Esther 4:14
