5 Tips for Dating Jesus

At this present time, you are dating Jesus.  You are his betrothed.  He is the bridegroom who will soon come and take you, his bride, away to the wedding feast.  Until then you are to get to know Jesus and fall in love with him.  Just as there are some dos and don'ts in dating others in your life, there are some dos and don'ts for dating Jesus.

1. Don't meet Jesus in just one location.
    The church should not be the only place you meet with Jesus.  How would your date here on earth  feel if you only took them to church but never anywhere else.

2. Meet with him more than once a week.
    It is hard to learn what someone is like when you only see them once a week.  Jesus wants to be  with you all the time so you can learn more of who he is.

3. Be yourself.
    Jesus does not want to only see your smiles.  He wants to be with you during the good times but also in the bad.  It is the hard times of life that we truly learn what a person is like.  No matter what you might think about yourself, Jesus will stay with you to comfort and help you.

4. Talk.
    Talking is essential in your relationship with Jesus.  He wants to hear what you are thinking about.  He wants to share your burdens and your joys.  Talk with him about the concerns you have and never be afraid to ask him for help.  There is nothing too small or too large for him to lovingly help you with.

5. Do not be ashamed of Jesus
   Take Jesus with you everywhere and never be ashamed to be seen with him.  Strangers, friends and family, whether they like him or not, need to come second.  Jesus needs to be the love of your life and soon you, the bride of Christ, will be with him forever.  How would you feel if your fiance never wanted to be seen with you?
