This was inspired by a voice recording or a voice note or a podcast, whatever you choose to call it. I had to record at 00:53 cause that’s how much I couldn’t let another day pass without sharing what’s on my heart.

If you listened to the very first episode of *Straight from My Heart*, you know this began as a journey of obedience. I felt unworthy, unprepared, and sometimes even ashamed to step into this assignment—but the Lord reminded me: *If you study My Word, I will put words in your mouth.* That’s why I’m here.

Recently, I started studying the Pauline epistles, beginning with Romans. Reading it in *The Message* translation opened my eyes in fresh ways. In Romans 1, Paul explains his desire to visit the believers in Rome, but in verse 16 he makes a bold declaration:

> “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation.”

That verse stopped me in my tracks. Paul’s love for the Lord made him unashamed to declare the gospel, no matter the cost.

It made me reflect: How often do we say we love the Lord, but remain silent about Him? One proof of love is how freely we speak about the one we love. Think about it—when you’re grateful for someone or something, you talk about it naturally. If we truly love the Lord, our love should show in our words, our boldness, and our actions.

But this love isn’t about benefits or rewards. It’s not about what we get from God. True love is like a mother’s love for her child—it gives even when nothing can be returned. God’s love for us is like that. And in response, our love for Him should move us to keep His commandments, to honor Him in what we do and refuse to do.

So I want to leave you with a question:

**What does your love for the Lord cost you?**

Does it make you bolder, more vocal, more consistent in living out your faith? Or have you become complacent, quiet, or hesitant?

Jesus already gave us the standard: *“If you love me, keep my commandments.”*

As for me, I’m choosing to stop making excuses. I love the Lord, and I must show it—not just in words, but in action.

I don’t know if anyone else heard the prophecy about the rapture happening either yesterday or today.
The calculations, the arrangements, everything seemed so accurate that I actually considered it a real possibility. I made up my mind that it could happen on any of those days.

But in the midst of all that, one question kept coming to me: Am I truly ready to leave this world, whether by rapture or by death?

I weighed myself.
I thought about the things the Lord has asked me to do and the things He has asked me not to do.
I thought about my siblings.
I thought about my job.
I thought about my walk and work with God.
And deep down, I knew I wasn’t fully ready.

Last night, I dwelt on it even more. This time, I thought about my large family and wondered how prepared they were. I found myself wide awake at 3 a.m., measuring the quality of my life and asking, What if the most anticipated event for Christians happened right now?

Now it’s the afternoon of September 24th. The rapture hasn’t happened yet, but this isn’t a moment to laugh at or mock a prophecy not yet fulfilled. It’s a moment to reflect, to seriously consider what we can be doing to better prepare ourselves. Because the truth is, the rapture will happen, and it will happen soon.

I’ve had dreams and thoughts about the rapture before, but never has it struck me so strongly as it has in these past few days.

So, my friends, I say this with all sincerity: please, be as prepared as you can.
The Lord Jesus is almost here to take His children away.
