Bittersweet Days

Bittersweet is the day that we live. There are the signs all around us of impending doom, darkness is more prevalent than ever. Yet, there is a ripple of thought that offsets the cultural disaster surrounding us all. It is put into motion from the very darkness it combats!

It is that longing within the heart of every child of God for the miraculous, the supernatural, and the endtime revival we all have been awaiting patiently. Like mothers and fathers, standing, waiting at the doors of the house of God for those wayward children to return home. The expectancy, the anticipation, the excitement that is afforded, by the hope that someday soon we will see them on the horizon, coming by the droves back to the open arms of the Bride is enough (or should be) to pray like never before!

We have been seeing the trickle of what is to come already. Yet, even now, I believe that God is very much busy in preparing His people for that which is to come. As He is purging, as He is pruning, as He is scraping away the dross, may our commitments be deeper, our hands raised higher, our love reach farther!

We sung a song the other night at church that encapsulates the prayer of my heart. It simply says...

"Oh Lord prepare me, to be a sanctuary,
Pure and holy, tried and true,
And with thanksgiving, I'll be a living,
Sanctuary for You"
