JESUS: The Faithful Husband

 

JESUS: The Faithful Husband, Asks, 

"Do You Love Me Anymore?"

(A Short Story)

A newly wed wife, once in love with her husband, has now grown cold and distant. Today, she doesn't make time with him, as she occupies and prioritizes her days with other things. She takes advantage of the covenant of marriage - depends on that, figuring that he would never break the union, and divorce her. But he is not blind or unaware of how far her heart is from him now. He knows of the "secret" things she does behind closed doors, her complacency, complaints, excuses, and lack of zeal to do anything for him anymore. Yet, because of his love for her, he remains, continues to care for her, and to provide - only it could be so much more! How long will he continue the marriage? Would he dare break the "legal" bond? If her life continues without change, and worsens, and if her heart becomes hard, the husband will sadly, turn away. 

My Spirit strives with you, but for how long? How long will you rely on My grace? How long will you not give Me your time? If your heart becomes hardened, can it be softened again? If you have strayed so far, can you return to Me again? For, there is a point of "No return."

"You do not love Me as much now."

(Revelation 2:4 EASY)

I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your mind will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 

(2 Corinthians 11:3)
