The Proposal

Most would not admit it because we try so hard in life not to get too emotionally attached to the moment. We are more worried about what people think about what we look like in the moment (for fear that our appearance will bring shame or embarrassing verbal "buzz" about us), than being fully alive without inhibition (...wow, to be fully alive?).

It is OK for kids to be a little out of control of their emotions, but adults, the "big people", to appear to be too intimately connected to a moment will usually result in the crowning declaration "why don't you grow up!" Oh, by the way, people who get too quickly pulled into a situation emotionally, could be experiencing a neurological disorder and there are drugs to control that (go figure???). I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Satan wants God's kids numb and unresponsive; because if the Kingdom message can stay hung under a veil of stupor like or emotionless responses, God's active love will not be seen in the world.

Psalm 103:1 "Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name." "BLESS" let's paint a picture!

The moment was right. They were fully alive. Heavens romance dance was following its spirit led choreographed steps in perfect time to the beat of two hearts. All eternity was in favor of love. He gently held her hands so to cause a purpose filled pause in the moment ... with locked gazes so full of wonder and amazement and admiration; the silence of the moment seemed to have all of creation holding its breath.

And then it happened; he slowly dropped to one knee without releasing his gentle grip of her hands and without breaking the glory filled gaze into her eyes. There seemed to be an otherworldly tremble in this moment as perhaps millions of angels and billions of stars held there praises of the Holy One, silent for just this moment.

He was not about to cheapen his adoration of this beautiful gift from God standing before him. He wouldn't dare restrain even a grain of a mustard seed of emotion; for if "all that was in him" was not "all for this moment" then what would be perceived of the value he placed on the object of his love?
His heart could not risk rejection for it would break to never be mended, but he would sooner live the rest of his life with a totally devastated soul than to never have risked all for love.

To bless The Lord , is like an eternal marriage proposal. Fear not to risk all that your are for all that He is. Position all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind, all of your strength for full adoration of The Lord your God. He will never turn your love away... He will not leave you disappointed.

Gently grasp His hand, gain His gaze, fall to your knees and sing His praise as He offers you all that He is ... for all that you are.
