Brothers, if you want to impress that special lady in your life, you’ve got to make sure that you get creative, pull out all the stops and go that extra mile. You can’t just settle for that run of the mill kind of date if you want to make a lasting impression. So ask yourself this question: What will set me apart from any other brother who tries to catch her eye? And the answer to that question and then some, is probably what you’re going to have to do to be like Neo in the Matrix – the One.
One of the most memorable dates (at least as far as I’m concerned) that will boost your ranking in the esteem of any lady you’re trying to impress, has to be a full moon picnic. With the moon shining brightly and adding just the right amount of romantic ambiance, a fantastic view and some of her favourite eats will surely add to to the ‘impressionability factor’.
Did you know the moon doesn’t actually shine? Oh, I’m sorry… this blog isn’t actually about dating but actually about moonlight. Truth is, there is no such thing as moonlight. The light we see from the moon is really a reflection of sunlight. This reminds me that like the moon, we have no light in and of ourselves and in fact, we can only really reflect Son light. In John chapter 1 verse 4, the Bible talks about Jesus like this: “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men” and it goes further in verse 9 by saying “The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.”
Trying to shine and reflect the light of God’s Son is a futile exercise if you aren’t in Him and He in you. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can totally submit ourselves to Him for a makeover that will be a true reflection of His image.
