Will you go on a date with me? The question will forever stand as one that
makes my heart jump for joy. I find joy
in running away from life, dressing in clothes other than scrubs or workout
gear, taking off the mom hat to fix my hair and spending time with the man I
love. The bonus in going out on a date –
I am not required nor asked to clean up after the meal!
To be asked means more than my husband will ever
understand. His offer proves an interest
in me. His taking time out of life,
deadlines hanging over his head and social media screaming for attention just
to spend hours with me proves the love held for me. His listening ear, gentle touch, being a
gentleman throughout the evening and treating me as the most
important/beautiful woman in the world proves commitment to building a strong
marriage.
Date night: the greatest moments in marriage; a must for all
couples; a chance to fall in love all over again. The nights spent together decrease the space
in which the enemy can fit his wedge.
See, the enemy hates marriage and all it stands for. The enemy will use any and every thing to
break apart what God brought together. Once
the wedge slides between, he slowly uses lie after lie to pry apart two hearts
which became one and fit himself between them.
It is then destruction begins and the home suffers.
Date night comes in perfect timing to crush the enemy. When strain enters due to busy schedules,
hard times or lack of attention, date night comes to the rescue. Giving all this world throws in our face to
God, laying every hardship at the Cross and surrendering will demolish the
wedge between two hearts. It is then,
God works all things out for good. God
takes date night to a whole new level.
The enemy does not stand a chance.
Same goes for our relationship with God. When was the last date night or morning you
spent with God? Life too busy? Health diminishing? Sadness consuming each moment? Finances depleted? The list of excuses can continue for
miles. The enemy thrives on these and
stirs lies amongst hard times to slide a wedge between you and God. With wedge in place, he works diligently to
create distance. Take a stand against
the enemy. God seeks you for a date,
proving His interest in you. God listens
intently to every word spoken, proving His love for you. God’s timing is perfect, gentle touch
comforting and assures that you are beautifully and wonderfully made – He is
committed to you for Eternity. Will you
accept His invitation?
Awwww. . .aren't we just the cutest! :-)

Time
