first date. [119]

dating God.
i really don't like the sound of it. sounds like a lame Christian fad. i'm not one for fads. i understand how important it is to remember that we are the bride of Christ. there is so many amazing parallels to marriage and our relationship to Christ. [it's possible that i might write about that.]
but dating? no, i'm not going to do that. fall in love with my Creator? yes. pursue Him passionately? yes. date Him? no.
i understand making sure your heart is God's before giving it to someone else. i definitely began that way. so the beginning was great. but i took my heart from God and gave it to someone else. dating is a dangerous game. so is falling love but in a different way. dating God just doesn't seem right to me for some reason. i picture Christian women saying to men, i can't date you. i'm dating God. seems like a cop out. i agree with waiting to date. one of the best choices i ever made. but dating God? i just can't wrap my mind around it.
it doesn't make sense to me. maybe if someone explained it to me. dating seems so temporary. a marriage doesn't. i guess that's why i can't see that more so than dating God.
i want to be the bride of Christ not His girlfriend.
