Return To Me Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022

Superheroes have captured Americans’ imagination for a long time. We all know the saying, “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s Superman!” It’s not an angel coming. It’s not a prophet coming. It’s the Lord Himself coming. “It’s a prophet. It’s an angel. No, it’s the Lord.”

In this life we are all allotted so many days, weeks, months and years. These days, weeks, months and years are a gift from almighty God.
