Always Be Ready to Meet the Lord



A mother was explaining, to her little girl, the death of her father. The mother said:

“God has sent for your father & will send for us, but I do not know just when.”
Finally, the little girl said:

“If we do not know just when God is going to send for us, do you not think we had better pack up & be ready to go? God might send for us when we are not ready.”

Luke 12:40 (GW) “Be ready, because the Son of Man will return when you least expect him.”

“The only difference in death between a Christian and one who is not is that the Christian is ready to meet Jesus. A Christian is dead already - dead to the world, but alive to Christ. Death for you as a child of God is to fall asleep in His arms and awake in the other world, alive forever beyond the power of pain, safe forever from all sickness and suffering.” -  Winkie Pratney.
