First Date

“Lord Jesus, thank You for being able to talk to You whenever I want to. I don’t need to set a time or make a date to have a date with You. Thank You, Lord.”

“Do you remember our first date, My child?” He asked.

“I was still small, Lord, but I do remember, it was so good! I had a good childhood but when I met You I experienced peace and love on a different level.”

“Our first date was special but every date since, was great. Wasn’t it, Lord?”

“It was and it still is, My child but yet, I long for you sometimes.”

“But, Lord, here we are having a conversation.”

“Yet you keep on asking for the same things, child. To make a date with Me is good but few live like Enoch did. He did not make dates, he lived with Me, walked with Me, his life was a date.” (Gen 5:24)

“My children don’t want to spend much time with Me lately. They have grown so used to fast, instant service. Fast food, instant cash machines or quick messages on Twitter or Facebook is the standard.”

“Sometimes when people needs something from Me they send a brief request and then they expect an instant answer.”

“When Elijah prayed for rain, he did it on the top of mount Carmel and he sent his servant 7 times to see if clouds are starting to appear. He kept on praying till he saw a small cloud.” (1 Kings 18:43)

“When I was on earth I prayed often, sometimes through the night.” (Luke 6:12)

“After My first date with you, you went to bed that night, looking forward to get up the next day to be with Me. I watched over you that night the way I always do over all My children, waiting for the sun to rise to see you running around and enjoy life with Me.”

“We had many wonderful dates but you grew up, got busier in life and the instant way of dating became the norm. I am still watching over you at night, looking forward to the next day with you but I miss our dates.”

“You need rain. Stay with Me and keep looking for the clouds while you pray. Do you realise that you’re not my servant but My child and that I love you!”

“I also want you to consider doing what Henoch did. Take Me on a date this day and walk with Me. Include Me in all your conversations, introduce Me to those who don’t know Me.”

“Take Me to wherever you are going. By the way, I am in you and therefore I am going with you anyway. You don’t need to climb to the top of a mountain to pray. All I need is for you acknowledge My presence and live accordingly.”

“Help me to do that, Lord!”
