In the same way, when you see these things happening, recognize that he is near—at the door… Watch! Be alert! For you don’t know when the time is coming. (Mark 13:29,33)
None of us know when Jesus is coming. But we know that his return will come in difficult times.
The problem with difficult times is that we often end up focusing on our own problems. We become very internally focused, and we forget to watch for his return.
But watching for his return does not merely mean looking to the sky waiting for him to come.
It means doing the things he has called you to do. (Luke 12:42-43)
And one of the main things he has called us to do each day is to touch the people he’s put in our lives with his love.
At the end of each day, can we look back and say that we have done that? Or will we look back and see a day totally focused on ourselves?
May we never waste a day as we watch and wait for our Lord’s return.
