Even so, come, Lord Jesus. We anticipate and long for Your coming. We trust the Father’s perfect timing. We pray for those who don’t know Jesus to recognize the truth of the gospel, repent and follow Him. While we wait, we will live joyfully in Christ, rejoicing with creation. We lift our praise in Your precious and powerful name, Jesus, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the LORD. For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth.” (Psalms 96: 11-13 NKJV)
