Hi everyone,
I believe that God is a romantic, so therefore I am a romantic. Allow me to explain myself as to why I believe that God is a romantic. The Scriptures teach us that God loved the world so much, that he gave his only Begotten Son, Jesus. The Scriptures also teaches us that God puts off the day of judgment that all might be saved. If that is romantic I don’t know what is... To think that God loves humanity so much that He patiently waits us. Wow!

Because God is a romantic, and he redeemed my life through his son Jesus, I too have become a romantic, believing that the human condition can only be improved with the understanding, the deep heart understanding, that God loves us, and proved His love by sending Jesus to rescue us. So, when we meet, you will meet a person who ponders culture. You will meet
​
someone who is deeply concerned for the chronic anxiety with which many people are experiencing in our Day. You will meet someone who believes that God has provided a place of rest from that anxiety, and it can be found through his son Jesus. When we meet I will lend you my hand extended, and invite you on a journey to discover the wonderful treasures that are ours in Christ Jesus. My prayer for you today is that The God of Peace rule your heart.
I pray this in the wonderful Name of Jesus.
