The Most Romantic Story Ever
I once read a book about women’s soul, and it says there that women love to be romanced. It makes me wonder how true that is in women’s life. Do we really have a room for romance in our heart even more than guys do?
It is an unavoidable fact that the biggest consumers for romantic novels and movies are mainly women. So you might be familiar with a story of a hero that goes through all dangers just to save his woman. That’s probably too much of sacrifice to fit into your ideal romantic story.
Your romantic scene might be as simple as the time when a guy is staring at you and confessing how important you are in his life. Perhaps it is when you have a romantic fine dining with your loved one. Then he suddenly takes out a ring, kneels down and proposes you. Classic!
No matter what story is painted on your heart, there is surely a room for romance in women’s heart. And if you are not aware of it, it might become an unconscious expectation of your love life.
My experience with romance didn’t fit any of my ideal romance scene. I don’t have many experiences though. And that’s why (embarrassingly) I asked God for experiencing a romantic love story in life. I didn’t know how I could have prayed like that. I mean… I’ve now realised that my relationship with Jesus even fits best into my ideal romantic story ever. (Well, I am not saying that you shouldn’t have a romantic relationship other than the one with God, but rather set your heart to love God first before your future life partner)
Jesus was born in this world with a purpose to demonstrate His love. If I could name one of His purposes, that was to die on the cross. He had a choice though, to avoid cross and choose a less painful way of death. I wondered why He didn’t choose that. Then I realised that it takes a very strong man with great characters to be fully obedient to the Father’s will.
And Jesus showed it!
He is the real hero that has won my heart back to the Father. He wants me so much in an eternal relationship with Him. He is staring at me days and night, longing to tell me His thoughts and to bless my dreams and desires. He is full of love and mercy! The real warrior that has rescued me from death to life, from hopelessness to hope, from meaningless life to a life with a purpose!
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Matthew 24:35
I remember what He said. His love will remain the same. He will be with me till the end of time. Amen.
