CHOOSING TO LOVE BEYOND SENSE KNOWLEDGE 3

Frederick knew that question was going to come eventually but was he ready to answer it or make his intentions known? He sure was three weeks back when he had made up his mind after going through the list of ladies he knew as friends but Cherise stood out and was the woman God had given to him to be his life partner, as God's inheritance for him.

Nothing had changed, not even the accident changed his mind. Although few of his family members and friends didn't think it was a good idea for him to still ask the same person who was the reason why he came down to Benin before the accident occurred to be his wife. They thought it was a bad omen; no not Fredrick. He knew it was the devil trying to make him lose a life partner that would be instrumental to his life and ministry.


"Well Cherise dear", Fredrick began, "you have been my good friend for a while now and you have assisted me in such a way that has left indelible prints in my heart. Beyond all these, together with the confirmation in my spirit I want to ask that you become mine, that you walk side by side with me in this journey called life".


Fredrick wasn't sure if he was making sense to Cherise as she looked stunned and even tried cutting in by saying, "But Fredrick I thought"... "Yes,  I understand" Fredrick quickly cut in, "I know I hurt you kinda by saying what I said back then and even making my close friend think he could ask you out but Cherise am truly sorry once more, I was just being silly and was ignoring this leading in my spirit.


Cherise wasn't even thinking of that anymore, she had long forgiven him for what he did. Right there, she wasn't even sure what her response to Fredrick should be. She was still in the shock of what she had just heard Fredrick tell her. She really didn't  expect this,  although her mind's been toying with her and her spirit had been preparing her for this.

"Wait Frederick, are you saying you want to marry me, just like that"?  Cherise knew what Fredrick had just asked her wasn't the usual dating most people did before the courtship because they were just friends. This was more like the beginning of courtship and only she was to give her consent to it as Fredrick had obviously made up his mind that she was 'the one'.

"Yes Cherise, please be my wife and I promise to take you round the world with me". Fredrick didn't even bulge as to whether people could hear him or even allow his condition deter him. The thought of "what if I never get to use my legs again" had never crossed his mind, because he knew who he was and Who had him.


Cherise gave Fredrick a serious look right into his eyes and what followed next was a beautiful smile that broke the silence and doubt or fear of rejection Fredrick might have had. She knew she had no feelings whatsoever for Fredrick especially not at this time where he laid in his hospital bed helpless but one thing was for sure, she was saying 'Yes' to him because of the peace she had been experiencing for a couple of weeks whenever she prayed for a future partner and his name was the only harbinger of such inward tranquility. And she also knew that true love was a decision, a choice to be committed to someone. She wasn't bothered about the feelings because she knew it will eventually come.


THE END.


Hmm, finally we come to the end of an intriguing story of two people who later became love birds; who didn't start off with the usual intense romantic feeling that makes people think they are in love, setting off the marriage relationship from there but rather, depended more than what meets the eye. Their love story is not the usual story but I assure you it's a beautiful one at that.

Choosing to love someone beyond sense knowledge is making the decision to commit to someone for the rest of their lives far beyond the knowledge of the five senses. True love that will last especially in marriages does not come from the avenue of the senses. This is where a lot of people make a grave mistake.

Divine or True or Genuine Love is not produced by feelings, by hearing or by seeing. What is often time called physical love or sense knowledge love is nothing but strong passion or sex attractions; EROS which is one of the expression of Love that cannot survive on its own outside the Revelational knowledge kind of Love, AGAPE.  This my friends,  is the main substance of Love; True, Divine or Real Love.


This type of Love chooses or makes the decision of love and commits beyond the curves of a woman, the big chested and sumptuous booty, the tall, dark and handsome, the sweet and soft spoken, the charming charisma... you name it; and of course,  don't get me wrong, all these are also important depending on one's specifications in choosing a spouse but when we put them before choosing by a deeper reasoning, the chances of such relationship staying long is always not as high as the opposite. Suffice is to say, many times when we allow revelational knowledge choose our spouses for us, the desires of what the senses would want are always present just like in the case of Fredrick and Cherise.

Revelational Knowledge Love is the God kind of Love, Agape. In choosing beyond sense knowledge and with this type of knowledge, one becomes engrossed with allowing God's Spirit to lead them in choosing a life partner. When one has chosen to live by revelational knowledge, they can not get this part of their lives wrong, ever.  It is sense knowledge in marriages most times that produces divorce and separation, when so called  sweet love turns cold and unexpected. Hollywood movies and soaps projects sense knowledge in action. Sense Knowledge has eaten deep into the fabric of today's marriages but I do hope you will get it right especially after reading this.


Cherise and Fredrick have now been married for close to four years. They are blessed with a son, expecting another and most importantly, their love keeps waxing stronger by the years. Fredrick plays football with his son as the revelational knowledge he had built inside him within the years gave him his complete healing. He walks and moves as though he never had an incomplete spinal cord injury. Life is spiritual and to make the right decisions therein, one needs much more than the knowledge that our senses proffers, it needs something deeper, revelational knowledge.
