There was a young man who fell in love with a girl. “I’m going to make her my girlfriend,” he promised himself.
The next few days, weeks and months, he chased her. He followed her everywhere, wrote her letters and even composed songs which he sung to her on his guitar. He didn’t even know how to play it before that.
Months turned to years. Finally, she caved in and agreed to accept his proposal. She was now his girlfriend! They made it official and posted it online for the world to see. She even wore a ring he had given her on her birthday to signify his commitment to her.
But the very next day after being his girlfriend, he stopped all communication with her. After about a week, she contacted him and asked, “What happened? Don’t you love me anymore?”
“Of course I do,” he said. That’s why having you as my girlfriend was all I ever wanted.”
“Then why did you stop calling and texting me?”
“Because I got what I wanted.”
Don’t stop talking to God just because you think you’re a Christian and already ‘saved’. That just defeats the purpose. Christianity is a relationship.
Want to know the end of the story? Here’s the best part: It’s up to you now.
Christ is the Bridegroom. Prove your commitment, or don’t bother.
