Tho' Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born, if He's not born in thee, thy soul is still forlorn. --Johannes Scheffler
Mark 8:36, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
Forlorn means unhappy, hopeless, or desperate. Do you find yourself this way sometimes or maybe all of the time? Do you keep searching for something to fill the emptiness you feel inside? Do you continually visit the bottle to find a way to cope with the feelings you are having? Do you think another night in a bed with another man or woman might fulfill your lonely heart? You will never have the peace, hope, or satisfaction you are looking for until you give your life to the Lord.
You may continue to dwell in your sin for a season but realize this, it is for a season. There will come a day when you will stand before the Lord and give an account of your life. If you have heard the truth of the Gospel, what have you done with it? Today, search yourselves and see if there is anything that stands in between you and the Saviour. If it is, get rid of it and start serving Him with your entire life!
