Day 255

If you haven't heard by now, Jeramy pulled off the proposal of a lifetime- for me! It was the most incredible proposal. The way it involved those who have impacted my life, those who have grown with me in the Lord, my family, and so so so many friends. Amazing! Props to ya, Babe! =)

This proposal however did so much more in my heart than the common eye might see. A few weeks ago, I was watching a video online that goes along with the book we are studying right now, "Crazy Love". (Here's the link to the video, if you'd like to check it out: http://crazylovebook.com/videos_stop.html ) So, I'm watching this amazing video, and listening to him describe salvation in the simplest, most unique way. He said God's offer to us is like God Himself, getting down on one knee and pulling out a ring. He's asking us one question- a question that will radically alter our lives. And He's waiting for our answer.... it's that simple. YES...or NO... It's not about our works, our past, our family situation, our mistakes. None of that is weighing in! This relationship that our Creator is offering to us is His proposal to us- to walk in unity with Him, and spend eternity (literally, FOREVER!) with Him in Heaven.

After Jeramy and I ran off the stage, crying and celebrating after he proposed, I remembered this analogy and my eyes were opened to see even deeper the incredible love of Jesus- for me, and for you. He's asking if we'll spend the rest of our lives with Him... if we'll join our lives with His purpose. Have you answered yet?

Just stop and think.
