For the next two days Dan and I did not see, I guess he was busy…..Hmmm….Yea I know you don’t know much about Dan so let me shed more light. Dan is that kind of a guy that could be given a pass mark for what the Christ talked about in Rev3:16, ready to be spit out for being lukewarm. He was a Christian by religion (obviously because he wasn’t a Muslim). He was just that normal guy that went to church only when the sun arose yonder, but who cares I felt, HE COULD CHANGE, ANYONE CAN CHANGE I THOUGHT, After all isn’t God faithful and besides I could change him or was I not a Christian? Sure I was, a faithful one at such I thought……Hmmm.
Dan had called me earlier during the day to inform me that he will be coming over for night class that day…..Oh. How excited I felt, I patiently waited for the sun to set, if I had the power, I would have pushed it down if I could. It finally got dark; I carefully got dressed and threw my sweatshirt around my shoulder. I took a glance at the mirror and felt satisfied. But something was missing I thought…Oh yes!! I hurriedly went to my roommate to borrow her perfume, now I felt ready to go. Dan was already downstairs waiting for me, as ever, he looked incredible. We set off towards twin LT to study. I barely read two pages while Dan played candy crush before we went out to get something to eat and talked all through the night into the morning till I was ready to leave for the hostel. We walked down to the hostel and when he was about to leave, he turned towards me and said “Love is a choice and I have chosen to love you”. WOw!!!, my breath came to a standstill.
Dan and I had been talking for about two months now but I have been greatly disturbed. The truth was I wasn’t ready to go into a relationship, most especially knowing that Dan was not yet a believer. Though he had become committed in his church and even joined the work force, I was quite happy because he was trying his best to please me but there was more. I wanted him to accept Christ so I began praying and even fasting for God to please change him for me. Dan was a good guy with a good heart who didn’t deserve to end in condemnation. I could remember crying and pleading to God for his soul to get saved but yet nothing happened. Until it dawned on me to change my prayer line. “Lord please change him not because of me but because he doesn’t deserve to be condemned, even if we don’t end up together please just change him” then something awesome happened….
