Lately, however, with the aching "to be away," the "Thy kingdom come" of Jesus' prayer seems to be weighing heavy on my heart. Is it the struggling of my own heart with sin? Is it the fact that a great many of my friends these days are Jews and Muslims? "Come Messiah," I find myself begging at times. And when He comes, if it results in "Thy will be done" if it changes nothing except for my own heart, I think that would be enough. There would be joy. Nice poem.
