Come Lord Jesus

Two verses that I have always really loved are Revelation 22: 17 & 20.
17 And the Spriti and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely..
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

One of  the reasons that I love these verses because I think they give the best summary of the bible, and so it is fitting that they are at the end. It is about coming to Jesus, and then preparing for Jesus to come, to return to the earth again. I have met people who say something to the effect of, "I'm not in any hurry for Jesus to come back, I 'm not ready." While I can't say that I am as righteous as I would like to be before he comes, I can't wait for him to come back! And that is the attitude that I think he wants us to have. That is something that stood out to me from President Nelson's conference talk as well. The Savior's return is a wonderful and exciting thing. Something that we need to prepare for, yes, but something we need not fear. I gives me motivation to do a little better, to stand a little taller and to commune with Heaven a little more. Like John I want to say "Come quickly... Come Lord Jesus!"
