sewing pearls on satin

Imagine the wedding is just weeks away, you know things are not yet ready, and you're the bride! What are you doing, watching Oprah? Chillin with your ipod? No, you're frantic, focused on being ready. Minor distractions like eating and sleep mean nothing to you now. The Day is coming, when the doors open, and every head turns back, the music plays and you step toward your bridegroom. You have to be ready, the dress perfect, every bead and pearl in place.
The Day is coming, when Jesus calls his Bride, the church, to come be with Him in the place he has prepared for her, for us. Are we ready? Is the fine linen of the Bride (Rev 19:7-8) wrinkle free and shining bright? How should we be sewing pearls on satin?

I know the day is coming. We have all known from the early days of attending church and gaining some knowledge of Christ that He is coming. When? Who knows. Am I ready. I should say not. My heart is not ready. I am saved. And the struggles in life that I am experiencing really makes it difficult to focus in on that day that Jesus returns. If I knew the day, or if I knew the day that my life would end, I would probably not have the same priorities that I currently do. I have some things to pray about
