John 14:1-3<\/b>\u00a0\u2013<\/i>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b><\/span>\u201c<\/span>Do not let your hearts be troubled.\u00a0You believe\u00a0in God;\u00a0believe also in me.\u00a02\u00a0My Father\u2019s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there\u00a0to prepare a place for you?3\u00a0And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back\u00a0and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

How lowly, how despicable, how selfish the man who woos the woman, who receives her devotion, who has received her very heart and so many of her hopes, and then, after the \u201cI do\u2019s\u201d are said, walks away and leaves her at the altar?\u00a0 She stands at the altar and waits.\u00a0 What is he doing?\u00a0 Where has he gone?\u00a0 When will he be coming back?\u00a0 Will he be coming back?\u00a0 Slowly her heart breaks and she begins to drown in shame and sorrow.\u00a0 The hushed voices of the wedding guests are a suffocating gas to her.\u00a0 The preacher offers a consoling arm.\u00a0 Her parents rush to her side.\u00a0 At that moment her whole future lays in ruins on the floor.\u00a0 How despicable that groom who would do that!<\/p>\n

Jesus is the Groom and we are His Bride.\u00a0 He would never act in such a way.\u00a0 He has made a promise and He has never lied and neither will He ever lie.\u00a0 He has promised to love us for eternity and He does and He will.\u00a0 He has promised to never leave or forsake us and He will keep that promise.\u00a0 He has promised to prepare a position for us in the presence of the Father that will remain forever and He already has.\u00a0 Family there is nothing and no one on this earth that is incapable of disappointing or hurting us in some way, on purpose or by accident.\u00a0 Jesus, the Great Groom, will never, no not ever, hurt us or leave us.\u00a0 He loves us with an everlasting love.\u00a0 So when the world hurts us, or leaves us, or no longer considers us of any value, remember that there is One who would never hurt us and will never leave or forsake us.\u00a0 There is One who always loves, values and cherishes us.\u00a0 There is One who loves every moment of our company.\u00a0 He loves us sharing our thoughts with Him and He knows the answers to encourage our hearts and heal our wounds.\u00a0 The Answer is yesterday, today and forever the same.\u00a0 The Answer if Jesus!\u00a0 Let us love Him and hold fast to Him because He is the precious gift from God to us.\u00a0 He is the greatest treasure anyone can have.\u00a0 Be encouraged.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let your hearts be cast down.\u00a0\u00a0 Remember who loves us.\u00a0 It is Jesus, who is able to save and keep us all.\u00a0 Praise God!\u00a0 Thank you Jesus!\u00a0 Praise God!<\/p>\n
