Recently, I’ve been burdened to study more about God’s character how He pursues us. My plan is to begin in Genesis and start looking at who God is and how He relates to man and, by extension, the church. I believe that this “Great Romance,” as it is, will give me a better understanding of life and how to respond to God. I think that this study will also give me insight in how to relate to other people better.

As I’ve told my friends, I’m growing ever more convinced that, because marriage is an illustration of how God relates to the Church, romance in this life needs to reflect the relationship between God and the Church. My hope is that by understanding His heart and His character, I will be transformed to reflect God better and subsequently learn to honor, treasure, and pursue a woman the way God honors, treasures, and pursues the Church.

I know I’m going to get a ton of amazing things from this study. I’m posting what I can online in the hopes that someone out there might benefit from what God shows me, too.
