The proposal

"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and I believe I have found a good thing so will you marry me?" This is one of the best proposals I have seen. It got me all teary its how the guy said it so self-assured and he really meant it. No normal lady would say no to such a proposal so she jumped up and down with tears flowing from her eyes shouting  'Yes! Yes! Yes!.
Witnessing such proposals not only make me look forward to mine (daaah am a girl) but they make me think of Christ's death. What if we looked at it as a PROPOSAL where Christ proposes to you, where the guy would go down on one knee,Christ hanged on the cross for you, Where the guy would sweat because he is nervous, Christ shed His blood, Where the guy would hold out a ring for you to accept, Christ holds out His power,comfort,love, peace for you to accept, Where the guy shows a commitment to marry you soon, Christ shows you that there is nothing now that can separate Him from you because IT IS FINISHED.
We look at as  just a crucifiction  when its Christ telling us  if only we believe He died on the cross for us we will be free, we can  now find our identity in Him. But so many times we forget and at times think that we are too messed up to go at His feet and pray for forgiveness, we forget that at that moment He allowed you to lay down your burdens at the cross and instead insist on finding our own solutions to our problems, we forget that He payed the price for us and sell ourselves short by getting into the wrong relationships and end up heart broken, we forget that He is the author and finisher of our lives that no matter how it looks at the moment He will pull you through, We forget He declared us fearfully and wonderfully made in His image and we go around trying to fit into what the world defines as "beautiful' and lose our true identity, we forget He is the center and run around chasing money, men, women, friends, the latest cars and in the end we lose our souls.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave us His only son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

In front of everyone Christ hanged on the cross so that you may be set free.Will you take His ring of eternal life and let Him into every area of your life? Saying yes to His proposal will be  the best decision you will ever make in your life.
