Come With Me Now: If you are like me, we spend our whole lives hearing about the end times, about the Second Coming, about the other side and those who pass to it. But those are things that never seemingly come to be. It is always a distant later. So far away that it may as well

not be real. The pressures of the present far outweigh the unreal distant possible future that we are told of. The ways of God and the other side can seem difficult, not worth it, and even not that applicable to what we face now.

But something happens along the journey.

The frustrating, difficult and strange journey seems to transform you. Previously normal sounding behavior then changes and turns into empty and juvenile short sighted things that do not full you with anything meaningful.

Perspective changes and the way we look at the world does

change dramatically.

Now I am not a perfect person, but what I see and how I see it has changed. With each insult that tore me down, and each abuser who fills themself up at my expense, I learned. With each peaceful song, or beauty in nature, or vision of Home, I changed.

This is a process we all go on individually in a way. As a world we do as well. Each day we may not notice that we are different, but we are. After some years we change into something we would never have imagined.

Do we turn into a wide person, calm and ready to be with beings

of light? Do we turn into someone out families cannot do without or a monster that they cannot stand? In truth, there is a mix of both for most, but one typically takes hold more than the other.

Well, this is the long way around the moon of saying that time passes

before we know it. We change and grow and things we never thought would happen do come to pass.

Come With Me: This is your notice that Christ will come in most of your lifetimes. If you wish to not be caught unawares and ill prepared, then start getting ready now.

Contrary to most teachings, becoming a insanely devout religious zealot is NOT ever what is being asked. The churches are all corrupted. The bible even cannot wholly be trusted as it has been altered and is frequently misinterpreted.

To the zealot, it is nice the effort, but

for most the time is wasted. What about one's family? What about love for all the other children who have different beliefs they follow, and the love for them?

There is no way to force yourself by study of ancient writings, or by strict adherence to a specific doctrine that

was given of "holy" leaders of old. There is no one list you can do to get everything right. Forcing your way WILL NOT WORK!

Humility is lost when we have fanaticism. We take an extremely difficult unnatural path and use the great amount of effort to prop ourselves above those

who we feel did not care enough to take such a hard journey for the glory and promise of God.

Well though that journey was hard, it was not really made by the other side, and it was needlessly difficult and engaged in for the wrong reasons.

They ONLY way to truly follow Christ

in reality is to be humble, kind, and try to put others in your life ahead of your needs most (not all) of the time. Listen carefully every day. Seek answers to simple questions of how to be wiser for your own family and those you can be there for.
Life will bring the challenges

that we need to overcome that will give us wisdom.

This is the VERY important part: It is NOT actually Jesus we seek, but the Father. It is NOT the throne we seek or the power of the Heavens. It is NOT Eternal glory and exaltation that ultimately we seek.

It IS a close personal

relationship with a very real Father who loves us deeply that we seek (and on the other side, Mother and quite a lot of other family).

Do you think your Father sits around and wants to see what type of throne we can get, or how many more fine points of doctrine we can pry out of

ancient records that others may have overlooked? Well some may if they are called learn of old obscure things if it is done in proper order, but in general, NO. A Father is concerned about the happiness of His family. He is concerned that the knowledge we gain helps those

that we love and serve. The knowledge we gain builds a more kind community and selflessly encourages others to take their moment standing tall when needed.

The best way to really come close is to be close to your own family as much as possible. Listen everyday for ways to see

a bit more clearly, and how to understand the complexities of normal life.

Study is important as well, but everything has a place. The doctrines of the other side are meant to help us understand how to get through this world in peace and learn ways of wisdom to come closer

together.

Some may e brought one way and others another. Now many are called to be a part of this Great Awakening so we can learn how to be good citizens and help our communities be safe from dangers.

See the difference though. We do this for our communities and those within.

Psychopaths try to make it look like that is why they do that, but they only care for themselves. We do not seek the spotlight or game as our main reward. We seek peace and to help make a place where love can thrive.

So do what you can. Fall then get up again and again.

But care for each other before you care for glory, even if the glory is what we perceive as an Eternal reward. I have seen nuts of the Eternal reward and it is in the relationships we get, not the glory of position we have.

Christ will know you if you know your Father in the

everyday boring things you need help with.

If you want to be like the Father, BE a good father yourself (Or mother, friend, relative). Nothing else can prepare as well.

It cannot help to change you.
But back to the original idea, sometimes it is time. Our time to pass will come

I hear again the call that my time is coming sooner. I feel myself changing from the mindset that it never will arrive to one where I see how short this life is and how unpredictable it is when we go.

The voice from far away is calling again. I do not know when my time will come

But it is feeling closer each time I hear the voice calling to me. Not yet but the time gets closer. Whenever that is, I know what comes next for me and what the plan is for those I care most deeply about.

I spent my life training to be a father. Sacrificing myself and my sanity

at times for my loved one's protection. I am all they have in this world that keeps them safe. The other side sees the work I have done and needs this for thermonuclear though.

They have a plan that will work for all, but not all details are given me. I do know this is not

a choice I make, but one I have to trust them with. I hear the voice getting closer. It is a voice I love and trust.

Time passes. We change. We will be ready if we seek love and the best for each other first.

For those staying, remember to "come here" to you father daily for help and guidance. It is not just advice, but a relationship we build.
