Janet and John had been in courtship for about 6 years, now they are getting married tomorrow and she is excited. Linda and Rose had helped her arranged her wedding dress and also fixed her hair. Every plan was in motion and she was super excited to be getting married to the love of her life-John. They had gone through the marriage counseling and were certified ok by the church and they had maintained holy relationships throughout their courtship. The three friends Janet, Linda and Rose finally retired to bed around 2am but Janet could not sleep. Obviously, she couldn't wait for the big day to arrive which comes in some couple of hours.
At 7am, they woke up, said a little prayer and began preparing for the day. Janet finished dressing up and Linda walked to the wardrobe to pick Janet's gown but it was not there. She went back to the adjoining room to confirm from others but no one had seen it. It was like a dream. Now it's 8:32am and the church service starts at 9:00am. They searched frantically but could not find it......
Wait, I know you love stories but this is where am going.
Would your Robe be found for the marriage of the Lamb?
Think about how Janet's husband to be John would be so devastated of she does not show up for the wedding.
Now, using that same picture, Jesus the Groom would be sad if you as the bride does not Make the marriage of the Lamb.
Would your clothes not be soiled....would it be missing finally?
The life you live, the friends you keep, the things you involve yourself in, would it not be that your matter would be a failed investment to the LORD?
2nd Timothy 2:19: for the standard of the Lord standeth sure, having this seal and let everyone who nameth the name of the Lord depart from iniquity...
May the Holy Spirit elaborate this in our hearts....Amen
