A WORD IN DUE SEASON

by MaryAnn Diorio, PhD


Dear Friends,

I trust you are doing well during these difficult times. And they are difficult times, aren't they? In fact, it seems as though they are getting more and more difficult as time passes.

Yet, these are exciting times for followers of Jesus Christ. I would venture to say that next to being on earth when Jesus came the first time, being on earth now, shortly before His return for His Bride in the Rapture, is the most exciting time in human history. And you and I get to experience it!

We were created for "such a time as this." We have been entrusted with reaping the final harvest of souls before the Lord's return. And what an assignment that is!

Are you being faithful to it? If not, start now. Tell others about Jesus. Do something to point everyone you meet toward the Savior of the world. 

Scripture says that some plant, some water, and some reap (John 4: 37). Fulfill whatever part you are called to play at any given moment.

Our Lord is counting on you and on me to bring in the harvest of souls for whom He died. Will you be faithful? I trust that you will. 

Blessings,

MaryAnn
