Cleave unto Him
Deu 10:20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
Deu 30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days.
What a beautiful motto to live by and a good reminder. To cleave is to adhere closely and loyally.
Often times, the temptations and distractions of this world, which are of the devil, get a hold of me, and I lose my focus and forget my first love, Jesus Christ. The desire of my heart is to fear, serve, love, obey and to cleave unto Him all the days of my life. We serve a faithful Master, and it is only logical that we ought to serve Him faithfully. My prayer is that I serve Him as a loyal soldier of the cross, and that I cleave unto Him until the very end.
Phi 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me

Cleave is also used in Genesis 2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Certainly this would tell me that a relationship of cleaving is meant to last! The relationship that Jesus Christ has with the church is likened unto marriage. If a man cleaves to his wife, Jesus Christ cleaves to His church. Jesus is cleaving to us, so let's cleave to Him in return!
