Sometimes I am afraid that I will not be ready when He returns. This is my greatest fear (Please, dear Lord, help me to persevere!).
Watch and continually pray for repentance and mercy, both for ourselves and the whole world. Cleanse through confession, repentance, and reconciliation with Him. Read from His Word each day and meditate upon what you have read. Receive His Body and Blood in Holy Communion. Ask in prayer for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Counsel, Fortitude, Piety, and Fear of the Lord!
May He eternally bless and keep you.
I love you.

"Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." -2 Peter 1:5-8 NASB
