What Are You To Me?

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?  1 Thessalonians 2:19

Golly, it seems that my writing has been a bit dark and down on things as of late. Today is Friday, and it just does not seem well to continue down that dark path this early morning. Aha! Sneeze attack, and  you know what that means. Yes, when the powers of darkness want to stop my writing, I must be on the right track! It's a sort of opposite encouragement, but they do it over and over again. 

Our verse for today speaks to a reunion Paul, Silas, and Timothy looked ahead to with delight. Jesus, the brothers and sisters in Christ, and you and me, all reunited in the time our Lord will bring us to His home. What a joy! Even one who is more inclined toward solitude (to put it mildly) such as myself, does not want to meet Christ all alone. We want that holy communion one with another and our Lord Jesus and going on forevermore. What rejoicing! To some of us, a great crowd and the noise of it here on earth is a terrible burden, but we have faith that will not be the case when so many, as in a multitude too great to count, are gathered together with our Lord in that great day of His reunion. So, our word of the Lord for today is to look ahead a bit with Paul, Silas, Timothy, and one another to that great day of our reunion in Christ!

Amen.
