i know i came in the conversation late but am i the only one who thought his reference to James 1: 17 romantic?
James 1
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning
either his offer to give her dinner was his way of giving as God gives, or he is alluding that SHE is a gift from Heaven....
maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
I don't think dating is a chore, but then I never thought much about dating.
I always focused on getting to know a person and seeing if we could be friends before taking that step of "Does God want me to spend my life with this person?"
If a guy referred me to James 1:17, I'd ask if they were imply that I was the gift or if they were the gift? lol
it would make them discuss what they meant by the comment. perhaps they will say marriage is a gift from God? or love?
who knows, but I hope you both find someone to love as much as God loves you.
