The directors and I had a conversation that night and right before parting ways, the talk ended with them saying that, for whatever position I want, I could just tell it to my immediate supervisor so that it could be worked on already so there I was left in my car imagining of what could happen, of how good the postions are, of how good the benefits could be, and of how good life would be for me. I was in my car, and I have just dropped off two of our company's regional directors when the Lord spoke to me in a very particular way. At that time, I knew that the years I've set for working before entering the Training was about to end however, I started to think that perhaps that's not what the Lord wants, that perhaps He has "better” plans for me in relation to my work. Barber's testimony that I was further encouraged to wait on our Beloved's return. Eventually, I realized that aside from hope, we want Him to come back because we love Him. I've heard stories about His coming back since I was young and I was frightened by those however, at that time, my sentiment was a little bit more of hope already than mere fear. I thought that when our Lord comes back, everything would be fine, that the world would just get worse and worse until He comes back. Although my understanding of His return was really not much at that time, I really wanted Him to come back already. I cannot forget that moment when I was seated on the rocking chair at home, singing "Lord, how long, dear Bridegroom, 'til You come, Lord, how soon?", uttering "Come, Lord Jesus, please come dear Bridegroom." That was perhaps the first time I touched my Lord. The matter concerning His return has touched me since I was in fifth or sixth grade, when I was around ten or eleven. This governs, holds, and keeps our Christian life for the church life. Our life declares that we have no hope on this earth and no positive destiny in this age, and that our hope is the coming Lord, who is our destiny forever. And await His Son from the heavens, whom He raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath which is comingīecause we are awaiting the Son of God from the heavens, our future is focused on Him.
