Isaiah 35:4

... say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you."
Isaiah 35:4

Our Lord promises more than what we want. He knows us before we can even learn to write our name, he molds us from day to day, he cuddles us when we lost hope, and he gives us strength when we are weak.

God encourages us to be brave because he loves us more than anything else. He wants us to keep our faith so that we will have enough strength when he fulfill his promise and bring us to his vast land.

I have a friend who sent a very inspirational message, it simply says, "Get ready, God is coming!" We have to be ready when he comes for us, ready with our arms so it will open to him, ready with our legs so it can run up to him, ready with our eyes to take in his form, ready for our body to embrace him and ready with our lips to smile at him.

He will come, he will fulfill his promise.
