Why hasnt God come back yet???

 To say I was not ready to see the video i saw and have the feelings of so many emotions wash over me is an understatement. 

Every morning when I wake up I ask God to show me what I need to see, or what I need to do, what that day should bring to him for his glory. I make my coffee and then sit down to go over my daily prayer for my marriage and then daily prayer list for others. 

While doing this I am scrolling tik tok watching videos- and its a great uplifting thing to hear other Christians on there praying and worshiping etc. 

However, this morning I came across a video pretty fast of a lady talking about a conversation she had with her husband. She saw him standing in a window and asked him what was wrong. He asked her if she ever thought why hasnt God come back yet. She told him this " There's a name in the book of life that hasnt been wrote down that needs saved"

Man. I was overwhelmed with such emotions over this. She went on to talk about how her sister and his sister she prayed that they were saved and would meet them in heaven. My heart just ached. 

And this is the uncomfortable part- I have no clue with 100 percent certainty about my husbands salvation. I know we had once had a conversation and I know he told me he was. And of course he and I have been in church etc. He says he prays to God over things and makes sure the kids have been in church even when I wasnt. So theres a 99 percent chance that he is. But that 1 percent scares me. People can go to church and do all the right things, say all the right things, and think they are truly saved and arent. 

AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN BE OFFENDED!!! YALL! We are not called to sit by and let our loved ones not know Christ. Be uncomfortable. Have the conversations. Ask. If you think it will stir something up then DO IT ANYWAYS. This is your calling. And it could be the last time you have the chance to do it! 

I love my husband more than anything with the kids being a second. I would give up ever seeing him again on this earth but KNOW i will rejoice with him in Heaven! That means more to me than anything of this world. To know that his salvation is secure. I pray over him daily for him to know the Lord better to come back to him and give it all to God. 

IF you love them, pray for them, over them, with them. Talk to them. Ask them to go to church. Ask them the hard questions about Jesus. Witness to others the love of the most amazing father we could ever ask for! Dont let the sun go down today without doing this because it might not rise tomorrow for them.
