Are you ready to meet Him?

           Jesus is coming in the mid - airs to receive you. Are you ready to meet Him? He is the bridegroom and we, His Bride. Think.. have we ever given room to Him in our lives accepting/considering Him as our Groom. We are His betrothed and should wait for Him keeping our robes tidy and our lamps burning.  Jesus wants us to be in that manner.. He purchased us by His precious blood, cleansed our conscience with His blood ,filled us with His spirit in order to make us holy before him and to be in the position of His bride. Where are we? Are we behind the lusts and fashions of this world / busy in our day to day life/ deeply indulged in the cares of this life? 
          

               These are Satan's traps to keep us away from God or His word.  That's why Jesus taught us " Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:31.Yes this is so true. We are to wait for our bridegroom with the whole of our heart, mind and soul. And before that we must love Him so.( Love the Lord with all thine heart, all thy mind and all thy soul). Let us come more closer to Him these days.

   
         Mt 25:1  "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

 2 "Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

 3 "Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,

 4 "but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

 5 "But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

 6 "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!'

 7 "Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.

 8 "And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

 9 "But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'

 10 "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

 11 "Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!'

 12 "But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'

 13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

             Let us too be the wise & good virgins keeping ourselves  always ready to meet our Bridegroom.
