Comfort And Hope. A Free Inspirational Short Story.

 



Comfort And Hope


Anna laid her Bible carefully down on the kitchen table. For some years now, she'd glossed over the passage that lay highlighted in yellow before her.

"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." ( 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-18)

"Comfort one another with these words." I haven't even been comforting myself with these words...

Anna sat at the table for a long time, chores forgotten. She took time to pray and to think.

"Do you think the Rapture's going to happen soon?" She asked her husband Nolan when he ambled into the room in search of coffee.

"What made you think of that?" He poured himself a cup and sat beside opposite her. "The news?"

"No, I came across it in my Bible reading."

Nolan took a thoughtful sip of coffee. "Truth is, I've been thinking a bit myself. It could be very close given the way the world's going." He drew Anna's Bible towards, himself and read the highlighted verses aloud. "Comfort one another with these words." He repeated. "Now that we've comforted one another, let's make a point of comforting whoever God puts in our path with these words too." He placed his hand over Anna's and smiled.

"Yes," she agreed, "starting with the kids. A good helping of hope is just what we all need."


***

Read about the Rapture in:

1 Corinthians 15

1 Thessalonians 4

(The word "rapture" is translated as "snatched away.")


The Rapture is for born again believers. In an unknown moment, Jesus will return to fetch His Bride, the true church.

If you are searching, start reading the Bible at the Book of John in the New Testament. 

Jesus died for you too. He took all of our sin on Himself when He died on the cross. Put your faith in Him. Repent and trust in Him and in His death on the cross to save you.

Battle. A Free Short Story.

Battle Evil swarmed and swooped thickly throughout the valley. Jonathan's sword slashed to the left and right. Sometimes, it arched through the air above his head, as infuriated hisses and screeches filled the darkness. To Jonathan's left and right, inky blackness was being pushed back by his companions. Stretched across the valley, they marched on, their swords slashing and crashing through the thick air, and bringing limp scaly bodies to the ground. The bright ones could not stop. Victory was not theirs yet, for the evil hordes kept coming. There were more than ever before it seemed, here at the closing of the ages. Jonathan grimaced as a foul creature landed close beside him. It screeched and bared its fangs in final rebellion. But Jonathan kept on. Supernatural strength coursed through his body, as more warriors joined the battle. They were nearing the far side of the valley now. The atmosphere remained black and grim: the battle was far from over. Jonathan's sword coul...

A September Medley

  Psalm 81:3 "Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day." Trumpet A trumpet sounds: A royal din: Our long-awaited Groom steps in. A joyful wedding  song now plays and we will love Him all our days. *** End Times Tales: Every Little Bit Counts. Lisa's father pointed his teaspoon in her direction as his brows drew together gloomily. "What's the point? There are masses of lost people in the city. What can one girl do? Besides," he added more gently. I don't want you getting hurt. People are just plain mean these days." He waved the spoon as Lisa quietly placed her books in her backpack. "It's not the old days anymore. Just like the Bible says, people are proud and boastful; scoffers, arrogant..." "I know, Dad, but I have to try. It's what Jesus wants me to do. There's so little time left before the Rapture." "Like shovelling sand with a teaspoon." Her Dad grumbled. Lisa shook her head...

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.
