Chose to complete 19 first, as dare 18 is a dinner and Kendra was not available today. So, this dare is to get real with my position toward eternity and to review all previous dares. 1st, let me say that I love Kendra wholly, but not holy. I cannot claim to understand what Christ did when he died on the cross, but I do understand that I need him and his gift for my salvation. I do believe that he died for my individual sins and that his blood and sacrifice has cleansed me before God. I also know that when I focus my efforts and being closer to God, spending time in prayer and meditation, that my relationships bare lots of fruit. I'm still amazed at the results from the dare when I prayed for Kendra's needs and desires and the closeness that I felt to her that day. It was much easier to overlook the minor offenses knowing her major desires. So the more time I spend getting myself "right" with God, the better my relationship with Kendra and my family. This isn't a wishy-washy desire, but a proven fact. Everytime I try it with an open heart and selfless head I heed results. Thankyou Christ for your sacrifice and helping me to learn to grow in love towards others. Your example of sacrifice for those who do not desire it is truly inspiring.
I am appreciating that each dare has differing aspects of the same underlying theme, selflessness. I don't feel as if any of the previous dares have been impossible. I do feel that certain days I've been lost in my focus and not brought myself to truly serve her. Tonight I have the opportunity to serve her dinner and create a special atomosphere which I am looking forward to.
