Will You Marry Me?

Will you marry me? Four words, when put together can change a person's life forever. The man is usually a combination of emotions from being full of excitement to nervousness. Typically, the woman is trying to catch her breath, plan the wedding, and picture her having his babies after she hears such life altering words. Getting down on one knee usually symbolizes that he is ready for that next chapter in life. By giving her that engagement ring, it shows he loves her enough to make her his wife and is willing to be by her side for a lifetime. Today, I want to talk about the most sincere proposal ever known to man. This proposal has never been topped and never will. If you do not believe me you can search it on YouTube and social network sites. People "talk" about this all of the time, but only few grasp why it was done. Honestly, the best source to go by is in The Gospel. There you will see God through His Son, Jesus, proposing to the world.

Sticking with this month's challenge, God's remarkable Love for us woke me up yesterday morning. As He began to enlighten me, I couldn't help but share. Word is, love will make a person do crazy things. Well, how crazy is dying for someone who cares nothing about you? Here we are, doing our own thing, hating God, hanging with satan, and enjoying our sin and Jesus asks, "Will you marry Me?" We are the WORST prospects for marriage and yet He sincerely asks for our hand in eternity with Him. Even an animal would be better for a companion because they actually listen, but He STILL chose us. That's what makes a proposal so special because that person is choosing you. They aren't forced into it(hopefully). No one forced Jesus to die. He willingly laid down His Life for us. Jesus dying on The Cross was a proposal for us to marry Him, promising to stay by our side and for us to be with Him eternally. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, you, and me. It's deep. God's Love is deep and it is real. God chose us a long time ago. Blood dripping down His body with piercing nails driven in His flesh all for our hand in marriage. Have you accepted His proposal? I challenge you to read one of The Gospel's this month. Doesn't matter which one and pray God's Love will increase as your relationship with Christ does with this challenge. Will you marry Him?
