O Lord I Long For Your Return – Graphic Print

COMMENTARY

In a particularly trying hour, I will sometimes lift my head and long for the return of the Lord Jesus. This hope strengthens me to continue His work in a cruel, sinful world. For all of us who have this hope there is unseen strength imparted by meditating on the idea of His return. Someday we will greet an angel face to face as we are homeward bound.

When the Lord comes to get us in the “Rapture” He will come with the hosts of heaven and we will see the saints and angels of old face to face. We will then be with Him, never to leave His warming presence throughout eternity. Praise God forever! This poem contains a mysterious place where angels dare to tread. In giving this phrase its poetic quality, I was not told by the Holy Spirit where this place is located. Obviously, there is a region in heaven where angels sojourn, and we will be given the opportunity to commune with Christ in this secret, divinely mysterious place. Praise God forever!
