Break the package open


God's bride is supposed to be beautiful, but right now all I see is her ugliness. God  has beckoned to her through the Holy Spirit and has sanctified her through the death of Jesus Christ. It seems to be a process though... Because we obviously don't act sanctified. 

And for this thing we call "worship" on Sunday mornings; it wasn't glorifying to God and for that reason alone I am broken hearted. I felt like in my moment of broken heartedness, God spoke to me. He said, "Break open the package." The package being this "nicely" wrapped and "perfected" thing we call church; church being thought of only as something we go to on Sunday mornings, not for what it really is. The church is the body and bride of Christ. We are His church and we are His bride. We the bride have become one with Christ for he has sanctified us. We are the bride of Christ!

So break open the package for it is has been poorly wrapped. We cannot go it alone. God is wrapping this package who's contents are the Church, his bride. On the coming day of our Lord he will present his bride, beautifully adorned with sanctification and righteousness.  

We cannot go it alone!
