I have read this book three times now. Each time trying to understand my heart as a woman a little deeper. Every time I come to chapter 7, the romance chapter, I’ve felt something there. Something there I couldn’t quite grasp. It felt wrong the way they describe God’s love for us, and yet, there was this burning desire to understand it. Today, I finally got it. Today was an awh-ha moment for me. I asked God to truly show me what this chapter was about, and he did! He romanced me. He bore witness to me of his deep love for me. Before I was getting hung up on the words “romance” and “lover”. I realized I was connecting those words only to sex. However, they are so much more than that. They mean, “a person in love”, “benevolent friend”, “a partner in a sexual OR romantic relationship”, “devotee”. God gave us the desire and ability to desire sex and it is a beautiful thing. Every way we express our love comes from our God. He instills this in us. And I love that he wants to captivate our hearts. Romance us through the beauties of the earth. Be our benevolent friend. Thank you John and Staci for opening my eyes to this concept. This has forever changed my life. What a blessing! I thank you both for sharing your thoughts with the world. God has romanced me through this book, and I am in love.
