Date with Jesus

"Grace is God...with salvation comes an invitation to join in with the Trinity as part of their eternal community of love. And with it, the offer to enjoy intimate fellowship that surpasses what is possible in the best of marriages." -Falling for God (Saying yes to His extravagant Proposal)

Aaaaaah yes. Dinner with Jesus. I've been neglecting my lover. Is that okay to write? Yes, he is the lover and protector of my soul, but it feels so scandalous to say it. I've been neglecting you Jesus. I talk about you non-stop, like my friend who left the country to travel around the world. But no. You're right here with me, and you've never left. You never left. But I neglected you. never spend time with you. Even on the Sabbath, our Date Nights! Hm. Guess you were right all this time. I was never ready for a husband. I can't even make time for the one I have!

But I've done some marriage counseling and I'm ready to renew my vows for you. The rate of divorce in second marriages is 60%, and I'd NEVER want to go out with Allah, Buddha, or Vishnu. You're worth it. You're worth everything to me. Yes, I want to declare my love for you, hopeless, reckless, carefree love. I want to fall in love with you all over again. Maybe I won't feel like a teenager, but it'll probably mature into another kind of love. Deeper, stronger, more powerful than anything I've ever known. I'm ready to dive in again.
