While attending college at #Wayland in #Plainview, #Texas, Tommy (later to become my husband) had the privilege of being a summer missionary in #Jamaica. This gave him a lifelong love for the people which prompted him to lead the church he pastored to go, serve, share, and teach the Bible there each summer. All of our family were privileged to be apart of those trips which made a lasting imprint on each of our lives. I remember the Jamaican people walking, singing, and talking with a joyful spirit. As I would say, “Please come at 10:00a.m. for Bible School” The reply would always be, “Me soon come!” You see, they walked dirt paths over hills, valleys and streams to get to their destination and most did not have watches. They would arrive, but not always on our timetable. That has been a profound lesson for me when I think of God’s coming again when He returns on His time! Hebrews 10:9-20 “I COME TO DO THY WILL, O GOD. He takes away the first, that He may establish the second…..by which we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” In His time, Jesus came once as our substitutionary sacrifice, but shall come again (on His time clock) to redeem His own! Rev. 22:12-13 JESUS SAID, “BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY, and My reward is with me to give to every man according to his works. I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END” And ‘that’s all folks’ Jamaicans got it right with their phrase — Me Soon Come!
THE LIVING GOD – I COME
