You Have Captivated My Heart

You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride;

you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes,

with one jewel of your necklace. ~ Song of Solomon 4:9

Isn't it amazing to think that this is how God feels about us? You are His bride and He absolutely adores you and loves you more than you can ever fathom... and He always has! Everytime you worship Him and love Him back imagine how great His delight is! He desires, more than anything else, for you to draw near to Him and give Him all your love.

Surprise them!

Several times I've seen this question (or its variants) pop up on surveys or quizzes my friends have taken, but I never seem to get it myself.

Are you dating someone?
How long have you been dating your boy/girlfriend?
Dated someone longer than a year?

Of course, the normal answer would be "No" or "0" for me and the majority of my close friends.

And I like that. What's the point of it if you're too young to get married?

Well, I was thinking, and this answer popped into my head.

YES.

What? Let me explain.

I'm a Christian, and I'm not ashamed of it. I love it. So, naturally, I love my Lord and Savior. I adore Him.

So the sensible answer to "Have you dated anyone longer than a year?" would be Yes.

I don't know about you, but I'm dating Jesus. I have been for about 3 years now, ever since I gave my life to Him. I've fallen in love with God.

Next time someone asks you that, you could surprise them and say yes. ;)

1 Corinthians 13:1-7

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
And if I have prophetic powers,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give away all I have,
and if I deliver up my body to be burned,
but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

~ 1 Corinthians 13:1-7

1 Corinthians 13:4-5

I have always liked this verse...

1 Corinthians 13:4- 5
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Think about those two verses...
That is how the Bible defines love... Today, people seem to view love in a far different way.
