Waiting can be difficult, especially when we do we don’t know when we will get what we are waiting for.
Simeon was one who patiently waited for the Lord’s Christ and was promised by God that he would see Him before he died.
It had been revealed to [Simeon] by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Luke 2:26
Likewise, we wait for the second coming of the Lord’s Christ and are also promised by God that we will see Him when He returns – whether that be while awaiting our own resurrection or waiting while we are still alive.
And when He returns, we will see Him just as He promised and we will be with Him forever.
But, right now, we are still waiting. So, what do we do in the meantime, while we wait?
We COME to receive, and we GO to give.
Yes, waiting is hard; but when we know how that wait will be fulfilled beyond imagination, makes it easier and well worth it! Any while we wait, let us be about His business; let us receive, love and share, and let us share!
“Come, Lord Jesus! We joyfully await You!”

- Luke 2:22-35
