How long. [2 Peter 3 ]

When I was young ,and at school ,there where times when the teacher left the room,and we didnt know when he was coming back,and then we would hear a cry ,he is coming,and suddenly we looked like angels, and butter would not melt in our mouths.This morning I have been thinking of one who has left the room, He has been away a long time, and you know , I wish that He would return, I am talking about Jesus. In the book of Revelation,we have the suffering saints calling out, /How long?,/ [6 v10 ],is this is the cry of your heart ,how long?,when will be that midnight hour ,when we will be going home, how long?. We do not know ,how long ,but may we never loose sight that He is coming. This could be dawning of that great and glorious day, when the face of Jesus we behold,the Bible calls it that blessed hope,that glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. [Titus 2 v13 ][ Dear Father sometimes we become impatient ,and we cry out how long, before Jesus returns,help us to never loose sight that He is coming back again, help us to live in the light of that great and glorious day . Amen ]
