Be Prepared

We do not know when

Our bridegroom will return

So we must be prepared

To welcome Him at all times.



We must live holy lives that

Will be pleasing to His eyes,

Have hearts that contain

Agreeable and loving thoughts.



Do not wait until His return

Draws near to accept that He

Will be back to take us home

Because He will leave without you.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: Matthew 25:1-13 "In the parable, oil can be purchased at the market. In our lives the oil of preparedness is accumulated drop by drop in righteous living." ~Spencer Kimball, from Faith Precedes the Miracle
