One of the most radical, heart-warming revelations I have had this year is seeing my time with God as a date. A daddy-daughter date. However, these dates are so contrasting to those of our culture. You can come to this date without looking your absolute best. There is excitement to get to know the One who ALREADY knows you. And the best thing is that you do not have to have a put-together appearance or heart. Your Date already knows you and loves you. He wants all of you.
This daddy-daughter date concept has become so beautiful to me. I know that my date will never stand me up and is eagerly awaiting my arrival. He earnestly longs for the time that this date offers to hear my heart and reveal Himself. I find it so much easier to hop out of bed in the morning, to grab my Bible and journal, and to sit down in a quiet place with my cup of coffee and my Date. If making time for our Father is a difficult thing for you, I think viewing this time as a daddy-daughter, or daddy-son date, is so gorgeous. Standing God up becomes a really challenging action, and you become so much more ecstatic to meet with Him. You are all so dearly loved.
