The Worthy Lamb
I've been thinking lately about the worthiness of Jesus! That He is worthy of our ALL! Looking around me in this day I feel that there are so many christians that are "luke warm." I even feel this way about myself sometimes. That we justify things that we want to do and why we aren't "sold out." The thing is that if we truly love Him, than we should believe that He is worthy of our ALL! That is the way the Father sees Jesus, so that is how we His children, His inheritance, His love, His bride should see Him. He is the only one worthy, the only rightful heir! If we love Him we should be willing to live fully consecrated to Him, simply because He is worthy, not because He has done anything for us or because we want to go to heaven! When we live in sin, even a little bit of sin we are saying you aren't worthy of my all and in the end i don't love you! Yes, there is the mercy and grace given to us through His cross, but He did that because we can not be as clean as Jesus by ourselves! Just because He loves us through our sin doesn't mean we should stop trying! For example: Adam loves me even through my mistakes and he forgives me but it is because when I say I'm sorry it means i'm going to do my very best to not make that mistake again. Just because I know Adam is going to forgive me doesn't mean I'm going to go off and have an affair! I LOVE HIM MORE THAN THAT! Because Adam forgives me he is worthy of my best effort! Same with my King, but even more! And sitting here writing this my heart beats for Adam, so how much more should my heart beat for my bridegroom to come who is worthy of a pure bride!!! HE DIED SO THAT WE COULD BE JUST AS WORTHY OF HIM AS HE IS OF US, NOT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO TRY OUR VERY BEST TO BE PURE FOR HIM! EVEN IF WE TRYED OUR BEST WE WOULD STILL NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS MAN THAT IS WHY HE DIED! I know that for me on my wedding night it was so beautiful to give Adam my purity! I wanna do the same for my bridegroom to come! When we live in a life style of sin we are cheating on our waiting bridegroom! He sits at the right hand praying for His bride, waiting and being patient, as we run around being harlots of this world because we want instant gratification, even when it comes to His presence! Jesus is more worthy for a pure bride than any other man!! Making choices to be righteousness in His sight, trying our very hardest to do what pleases Him.... that is our all and giving it our all is choosing to be pure for our bridegroom! Doing ALL that we can do to be righteous and letting Him do the rest! Its a two way street in our relationship with this man! He is worthy of all of me!

Wow. This does make me think. I think that it is so true that we need to take serious being faithful to our bridge groom, our loved one. Surprisingly I have never though of it in such a way to relate it to how I tried, and how I still try to stay faithful to you since we are married. This is very encouraging, and it makes me want to think upon this more in my daily struggles. Now my eyes are open to the fact that the main reason that I try is not to make me a better person, but really to be faithful to my beloved, my husband. Then this is the act that makes me the better person. My thoughts have been changed.
