ANOTHER ONE NIGHT STAND

I approach Him with sweet words on my lips, but deep down I know I’m only looking for yet ANOTHER ONE NIGHT STAND. Some day (way in the future) I would love to have a long-lasting relationship with Him, but I want to have “fun” now. I’m not trying to be tied down by any sort of commitment like that. There’s more than enough time for that. But until that day comes, I try to have the best of both worlds. Though I avoid, ignore, and sometimes even curse Him (mostly to impress my “friends”), I sometimes yearn to be in His arms and once again hear all His promises. After the apologies (for abandoning Him previously), tears, and everything else that follows, I fall asleep in His arms dreaming of what life could be like if only we were in a committed relationship. I promised myself I wouldn’t let things get this far (emotionally), but I feel as though it was completely out of my hands. I was only looking forward to ANOTHER ONE NIGHT STAND.

Hours later, I quietly leave because my conscience wouldn’t allow me to stay, knowing what my true motives were. I often wonder if this is a way the devil attacks me. Whenever there is that longing for Him, the devil makes it a point of his duty to remind me of how I’ve hurt Him in the past and how He deserves so much better. So with this continuous battle going on, I guess I’ll just keep my distance…until I have the urge for yet ANOTHER ONE NIGHT STAND.

***People give the devil waaaaay too much credit. We must remind ourselves of where he is…UNDER OUR FEET!!!

Anyways, I decided to write this, because too many people are wanting a “ONE NIGHT STAND” with Jesus Christ instead of having an authentic relationship with Him. They only go to church or pray when the things around them are beginning to crumble. They feel trapped. And with their new dilemma, they want the quickest and the easiest way out. They decide to go to church and have someone pray for them. With this they expect Jesus to make everything well, so they can go back to the way they were living before. They come with their empty words, as if God only sees what’s taking place inside the church walls.

To those of you who call yourself a “Christian”, I urge you to be a living example to these people. Don’t judge or condemn them, but find ways to uplift them and make them feel the love of Christ. Share with them that being a Christian does not mean that you are perfect, but that we as Christians strive each and every day to be more and more like the perfect ONE whom we seek daily.
