Prepared for Presence
Waiting is hard—especially when it feels like nothing is happening. In Matthew 25:1–13, Jesus tells a story about bridesmaids who were ready…and some who weren’t. It’s a vivid picture of the Christian life: we’re all waiting for the Bridegroom, but only those who prepare their hearts will share in His joy. This passage invites us to examine where we may be procrastinating in our faith—and to remember that Jesus’ return is not about fear, but about the fullness of God’s presence and a feast that never ends.
