Love and Marriage

When you start dating someone, there is usually a point when both of you decide it's a serious relationship and you no longer wish to date other people. When you decide to get married, you're making a commitment to be with that spouse, for life.

In the same respect, when we give our life to Christ, we are making a public statement that Jesus is our Husband and we are His bride. That means being totally committed to Jesus alone just as He is totally committed to us.  

You get to know Jesus by studying the Bible. While you are studying, you are renewing your mind. (Romans 12: 2) You notice that you no longer think the way you used to.  Day by day, your life is transformed and you get to live Jesus' abundant life. 

Unlike human marriage, there is no divorce in Christ. You are married to Him forever.

I have never been married in the human sense, but I am married to Jesus Christ.  It's the best relationship ever. ✝️❤️

Relevant Bible verses:

"And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.” [62] But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9: 61-62

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12: 1-2

"Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.'  1 Corinthians 6: 16-17

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Bananas

Image
 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊

Indiana Jones

Image
Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️
