For those who have family or friends....or anyone they know who needs to know Jesus!

2 Peter 3:8-9
“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

In this passage, Peter is talking about how we should think in the “last days,” because there were many people who did not believe that Jesus would actually return….because he hadn’t yet. And in their minds, it had been a long time waiting for His return. God wants us to know that He isn’t slow, and that we have no way of understanding His idea of timing. But He has held back His return because of His patient desire for our salvation. This is so encouraging to me, because I know that if Jesus were to return today, I might be the only one in my family to spend eternity with Him. But I also know the Lord is patient with us, and longs for the lost to come to Him. My family, your family, everyone.

I encourage you; keep your focus on The Kingdom of God. Look for opportunities to share the love, mercy, grace & salvation of Jesus with the lost; not just your family, but anyone God puts in front of you. Do not be like those in 2 Peter who did not act like Jesus coming was near. We are not promised tomorrow. Make the most of every opportunity today. Keep your focus on His Kingdom.
