Matthew 25:9-10

“‘Lest it does not fully suffice for us and for you,’ the wise virgins told the foolish ones, ‘go rather to those who sell and buy for yourselves.’ And while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the ready ones went in with him to the wedding festivities, and the door was shut [to the other five]”.

Oh Virgin’s 10 it’s midnight hour
For soon heaven brings Father’s shower.

He’s warned us much throughout the time
Yet listened not to warning signs.

What if Thy “rapture” takes thee not?
What if Thy door you sit and knock?

Oil that’s not prepared in time
Were not all 10 Virgins thought mine?

What if Thy precious oil runs out?
When the Son of Man comes down…

Thy Bride is one of ready willed
When Thy trumpet awakes the still.

Endurance will be an anguished cry!
Do Thy Father’s voice recognize?

Has Thy life spent in darkness veiled
With ears not hearing and eyes still scaled?

Faithful and watching ahead are they
Who enter in The Wedding gate

Have you ever read it this way?
Or pondered only what traditions say…

If life is yet spent burying still
Thy heart and head to heaven’s will

Watching the orphans and widows die
Not quenching thirst of a stranger’s cry.

If talents sit underneath thy ground
Waiting security of worldly realm
I tell you He declares a wreckless thing
To never care for these precious things.

Studied we have and heard such false!
What we do here will matter! Will cost!
Secure we are not on “THAT GREAT DAY”
If it does come and yet not watched and prayed.

Oh beloved do you know Him? Does He know you? There is a world of difference between knowing about Jesus ….and knowing Him. Many may know His name, His stories..yet never turned their lives over to Him and followed Him as Lord. Oh there is a difference…our lives will bear witness.

Matthew 7:21-23

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you

John 10:27

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
