My word promises my return and tells my followers to love my appearing. You can do this without arguing about the details of how it will happen. Are you ready for me to return? If you rejoice to see my ongoing work of transformation in your life then you may be concerned that my return would cut it short. You may also be concerned that the service that you do for others will not be completed by the time I come. I have taken all these concerns into account and have perfect resolutions for them. In my love and mercy I will return at just the right time and you can look forward to this without hesitation. 

My word describes my people taken as a whole as one body, and so you hear of splits and contentions described as divisions in the body. Do you comprehend the seriousness of this in reference to the imagery of a body? In the natural realm, a body that is divided is dead or at the very least severely crippled. Is this what you think of when you hear of a division in my body? For I chose this imagery intentionally, with all that it implies, yet in the light of this my people take the issue of division rather casually. I want you to take division in my body as seriously as you would the division of a living person. 

Have you met people who use mental gymnastics and complex logic to explain that their life is making a difference in the world? It may seem like special pleading to you but it does illustrate how strong the innate desire is to live a life of meaning. What is the purpose of a life without purpose? Yet the measure of the meaning of your life is not how much money you make. The number of people you help is closer, but in the absence of the infinite horizon of eternity, even that is an elusive measure. I know the plans I have for you, to give you a future and a hope; a destiny. This is your purpose and I am pleased to share it with you and guide you into it. 

Are you familiar with the story of the road to Emmaus? Have you found that nearly every believer wishes they could have listened in on my expounding of the scriptures? Yet no transcript is given. How do you know that you have not had a similar experience? For I was traveling incognito and my audience was not aware of my identity. I revealed myself at the end, but those who heard me realized that their hearts burned within them even before they knew who I was. Do you know that I am with you always, and continually expounding my word? Pay attention to the times that your own heart burns within you.
