The Lover Boy Who Fell In Love With The Wrong Lover
I
present to you the unfortunate incident of Samson - the lover boy who
was drawn by lust, and ended his destroy glorious destiny on the laps of
an enemy who he thought loves him (Judges Judges chapter 13 - 16).
You
see, God is Love, and since we were created in His image and likeness,
it follows that we are also creatures of love, created to love and
receive love. We all have the innate desire to love (to give and show
love to others), as well as crave to receive love from others (to be
shown love in return). This is a characteristic of a normal person
created in God's image and likeness.
However,
the error of many people lies with where they go to seeking love, and
what they fell in love with. Hence, many are in problem today because
they fall in love with dangerous persons and things that were designed
by the evil devil to carry out his evil mission - to steal, to kill and
destroy (John 10:10).
We
can talk about alcohol and drugs; masturbation and pornography; immoral
boyfriends and girlfriends relationships; materialism and mammon; etc.
They thought these things are good lovers that will give them genuine
pleasure and satisfaction. Unfortunately, like Samson, these things are
only Delilah's relatives that leads them into destruction, ruin and
regret.
Problem arises
when you fail to channel your love to the right One - the right Lover.
You are configured to love God your Creator first and above any other,
and to receive love from Him above anything else. When you are saturated
with God's Love and you find pure fulfillment inside of Him alone, it
guides how you give love to those around you, and you are directed to
like only the things He permits (which won't be harmful to you).
You
can explore love inside of God (which is what you are destined to do)
through faith in Jesus Christ. As you embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior, He sends a tangible Lover to your life - the Holy Spirit. As you
grow in love with Him, He empowers you to keep attending to the
business of love in the right way.
Stop
seeking pleasure from sinful and harmful persons and places and things.
They are a polluted counterfeits of the original thing - that you enjoy
pure pleasure in your relationship with the Lord Jesus. I'm inviting
you into this peaceful life, as you surrender your life to Jesus today.
Bible
says: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
(Jesus Christ), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but
have eternal life." (John 3:16). Embrace the true Lover of Your soul
today - the only One that can die for your Salvation from sin, death,
satan and hell.
Today is
your day of salvation. Wherever you are, simply ask the LORD to show you
mercy and come reign in your life. "Jesus, show me mercy, and come into
my life".
If you need any assistance, please contact me. God bless you, in Jesus Name. Amen.
