Jesus is my girlfriend
Sup. I think it’s cool that my friend Peter (sorry, hope this is okay to mention.. made a five year commitment not to date or be in a relationship out of some kind of personal dedication to God.
My bros from LA and SF, such as Josh, Caleb, and Ed (hope this is okay to mention too) have gone through single times that they set apart for God too.
So does this mean I’m not going to have a girlfriend for God? Probably not. Be single forever? Hell no. I think I like the idea of dating (or “hanging out” as I like to call it for maintaining a maximum number of options) too much.
Girls are hot. Sometimes, at least. Until work creeps up on you (like everyday?) and they become a nuisance. A necessary nuisance? Not sure where I stand on that yet.
I’m not sure where I’m going with this blog post because I’m getting tired. However, I want to propose a new Christian t-shirt to replace the “Jesus is my homeboy” brand. After going through IHOP (International House of Prayer) and learning about the “bridal paradigm” from Pastor Mike Bickle… I think it’s time I acted on some latent inspiration and made a new t-shirt brand called “Jesus is my girlfriend” to show the kind of fiery love relationship that people can have with God.
Or not… cuz that’s kind of sick and twisted imagery in the wrong perspective. but you get what my point is I hope.
Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for my sins. You are my homeboy and also, by metaphor only, my girlfriend. You are also my God so in the words of classic rapper and out-of-context theologian Ice Cube, “Bow Down to a ______ that’s greater than you.”
