Jesus reminds us through the parable of the ten bridesmaids that preparation matters. It’s not enough to be invited, present, or even well-intentioned—we must keep our lamps filled. When life delays us, weariness sets in, or love grows cold, the call is clear: return to the Seller of Oil. Be continually filled with the Holy Spirit, stirred in love, and fueled for faithful obedience. Stay ready, stay full, and let your light shine until He comes.
