no more blind dates

Kayse & Jon Pratt

Jon sent me a Facebook message soon after that.  It consisted of one line.

“So, I hear you’re pretty awesome.  Is that true?”

My initial thought was “What on earth did I just get myself into?”, but…I responded with my own one-liner.

“Well, I guess you’ll just have to decide that for yourself.”

Read Their Story

God is “the best maker of all marriages,” and I’m convinced that He loves to do it! He brought Eve to Adam. He prompted Eliezer’s prayer for guidance, and then answered it by matching Rebekah with Isaac. He arranged for Ruth to “accidentally” bump into Boaz, inspired Naomi when she counseled Ruth to consider this man who seemed so beyond her grasp, and fueled Boaz’s determination to finish the matter that very day.

This is a picture of God’s heart. This is what He wants to do for all His children. This is what He wants to do for me.

If someday I live out my love story in light of the gospel, who can help seeing the pure and unconditional love of Jesus? That’s an exciting thought!
