I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and so had the sea. Then I saw New Jerusalem, that holy city, coming down from God in heaven. It was like a bride dressed in her wedding gown and ready to meet her husband. I heard a loud voice shout from the throne: God's home is now with his people. He will live with them, and they will be his own. Yes, God will make his home among his people. He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever.
Revelation 21 : 1-4
Living together without being married is very common today in the western world. Men and women try to enjoy the blessings of marriage without the comitment. But the problems of an intimate relationship without the security of an assurance and vow of “forever” are great. That is what marriage adds to a relationship. The "NO MATTER WHAT" permanency of marriage brings great peace and joy to the sometimes rough seas of blending two lives into one!
Living with Jesus without the "Wedding" will not happen! Jesus will not respond to your offer of a relationship without commitment. You will either be totally His and fully committed to Him, or you will not be with Him at all! Jesus will not have a "mistress!"
Determine today to make Jesus not only the Lord of your life, but also the desire of your heart! You will not only be with Him here on earth, but you will live with Jesus as His Bride forever in Heaven!
"Lord Jesus, I do look forward to being with You at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb! May Your Name be praised now and forever. Amen."
