So forgive my tendency to over-seriousness. As Paul once said, woe is me if I do not preach the Gospel. The clock is ticking and the Bridegroom is arriving soon. It is time for us to look at the lamp we are holding. Is it merely a lamp of profession? Do we talk a good game? Are we clean and sparkly on the outside yet filled with the filth of this world on the inside? If we were to grow weary and doze off...will we be still ready should the arrival of the Bridegroom awaken us? If you are found in Christ today - help spread the Word before the door is shut to everyone else. If you are found wanting today, turn to Him fully and seek the forgiveness of your sins. Turn your lamp of profession into a lamp of confession. He is faithful to forgive. He is faithful to restore. Then when the Bridegroom comes, you will be counted amongst the wise and hear those words - "well done my good and faithful servant."
