Paul ends with: 'If anyone does not love the Lord—a curse be on them. Come, O Lord!' It's a prayer. An invocation. Come, Jesus.
I pray this prayer most nights. Not because I'm anxious about the future or want to escape my life. But because I genuinely want Jesus to return. I want the world made right. I want to see him face to face. I want the suffering to end.
This prayer keeps me oriented toward heaven without despising earth. I'm meant to work as if Jesus is never coming. But pray as if he might come today. That paradox keeps the faith alive. Maranatha.
