A good rep

After Revelation 3:1-6 

A good rep isn’t

the same as a good

reality. You have 

a good rep, a great

rep, but it is the mirage

of what you used to be. 

It is time to awaken, grab

on to and strengthen

what good remains

and is about to die.

Go back to what

you first knew; 

start there. Otherwise,

I will come as a thief,

a thief in the night,

rescuing the few who

still walk as they should.

Those few will walk

clothed in white, 

engraving their names

in the book of life.
