Dear Young Christian:

I write these pages a long time before you read them. The calendar has to be turned in for editing and proofing, and then be printed, sold, and shipped to those who order them. As I write a page like this I wonder if it will ever be read this side of the Lord’s coming. I, for one, am expecting the Lord to come at any moment, and give the shout in fulfilment of His promise, “I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:3).

However, in the meantime, we keep writing the calendar pages, preaching the gospel, and trying to encourage believers young and old to continue on in following and serving the Lord. He has said, “Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13). There is much that can be done for Him, and we need to pray every morning that He will show us how we can serve Him in some little way, whether it is in testimony to the lost or encouragement and help to a fellow believer.

What will occupy your time and energy this week?

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
