[Music] have you ever thought about how every time you fall back into sin you're cheating on God when you commit your life to Christ you become reborn entering into a spiritual marriage with him this bond is sacred and like any marriage it demands loyalty and devotion yes as humans we might stumble we might struggle with pride anger or other sins but we should strive not to return to the same old patterns treat your relationship with God like a marriage just as you would cherish spending time with your spouse approach your time with God with joy
and eagerness not as a chore to be checked off a list take moments to enjoy God's presence go on a date with Christ spend time in nature have a meal while talking to him or sit in your car and pour out your heart to him appreciate the privilege of spending time with your creator this relationship is a precious gift given through Jesus Christ our sins once separated us from God but because of Jesus's sacrifice we now have the Incredible Gift of direct access to God but if we continue to choose sin over God it shows
where our Tru True Love Lies imagine being in a relationship where one partner constantly cheats it's heartbreaking God sees our hearts and knows our true intentions he knows if we are genuinely trying to overcome our sins or if we are simply comfortable living in them in Matthew 25113 Jesus tells the parable of the 10 virgins five were wise and kept their lamps filled with oil while the other five were foolish and didn't prepare when the bridegroom arrived only the prepared virgins could join the feast the others were left outside hearing the devastating words I don't
I know you this Parable is a stark reminder to always be prepared for Christ's return we don't know when he will come back and we aren't promised another day we must live in readiness filled with the Holy Spirit keeping our spiritual lamps lit remember being ready isn't about living in fear but about nurturing a deep love for God when you love God deeply you won't want to cheat on him with sin instead your desire will be to love and serve Christ to the best of your ability acknowledge that you can't do it alone surrender to
God and he will transform from you he will give you a renewed heart and mind continue to surrender daily to love God with all your heart Jesus desires a loving relationship with you and all he asks is for your love in return stay blessed and keep your spiritual lamp filled with oil always ready for his return
