Jesus' picture of the days leading up to His coming in the last days can really cause fear to arise in our hearts.
But Jesus told those who listened to His teaching that on the day the Lord came, they should not return home to collect their belongings. Jesus encouraged them and all of us to find security and peace only in Him.
For those who know Jesus personally and intimately, His return is a beautiful and wonderful event. We will be caught in His love and captivated by the fulfillment of all our dreams so it is only natural that we leave everything behind and run to meet Him.
If now we only know and believe in Jesus from what is described in the Bible and taught by the Church, then when He returns to the world, we will see Him in all His fullness. Very heartwarming.
So let us continue to obey His word. Let our hearts always yearn and open to Him. As we do what He wants us to do, the longing of our hearts will be kindled because the light of His heart will become brighter and brighter until the day when we will run to meet the One we long for.
