“Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart.” Joel 2:12
God’s desire has always been for all of you. He doesn’t want to share you with anyone or anything. He says He’s a jealous lover.
Many of us are like the Ephesus church in the book of Revelations.
“I see what you’ve done, your hard, hard work, your refusal to quit. I know you can’t stomach evil, that you weed out apostolic pretenders. I know your persistence, your courage in my cause, that you never wear out.“But you walked away from your first love—why? What’s going on with you, anyway? Do you have any idea how far you’ve fallen?” Revelations 2:1-4
The Ephesian church was better at enduring than endearing. They "hung in there" and "gutted it out" but… they lost the joy and delight of fellowship and enjoying the presence of the Lord Himself.
Marriage is not about just being faithful (though that is important). It is about being INTIMATE. Love to spend time with Jesus in Bible reading, prayer, and worship. That is priority ONE.
