Please take your time to read this MY MARRIAGE PROPOSAL ------------------------------- I was led by God five years earlier to the lady im to marry and after five years of heaven on earth courtship, I was willing to pop the question. I was very confident that she would accept my proposal. Our marriage would be heaven on earth and our kids, God fearing. I could see both of us still in love after weve grown old and very stricken in age. I found a way to measure her finger without letting her have the slightest idea of my intention and got her a beautiful diamond ring. I devised a way to invite her over to my place alone. The only problem I had was how to propose. Going down on one knee and saying will you marry me sounded too simple so, i started looking for more romantic words. I practised with the mirror a million times; trust me, marriage proposal is not as easy as it seems. On the d-day, she entered my apartment clad in a white gown that reached down to her ankle. She smiled at me and i saw heaven open just before she said Oluwaolorunalagbaradamilare, how are you? She is the only who is never too lazy to call my name in full. After talking about how the day had been for about thirty minutes, i took a deep breath, gazed into her lovely set of eyes, went down on one knee, brought out the ring and started pouring out my words. I said: My life has never and could never be the same after I met you. Youve made me more joyful, more stable and more inspired. I cant picture the rest of my life without you by my side. Will you do me the honor of making me the first in your life? Until that last statement, her face was radiant with joy. I might not be good with words but im a close observer. Her response confirmed my suspicion. She said im sorry; that position has been taken Taken? I felt like i was going to have a cardiac arrest. Did i hear her right? I felt the walls closing up on me. I managed to ask for what she meant. Is there someone else? I asked. She answered in the affirmative. Yeh! E gba mi o! My vision became blurry. Who is he? I asked but before she could answer, my rival entered. She pointed at him and said thats him In my apartment? How dare him? Hasnt he ever heard of how dare you dare Dare? Through my tears filled eyes, I stared at him. In all fairness, ive never seen someone so handsome and strong. In beauty, he has an A while I have an E. In strength, another A for him while mine shows an F. Love is worth fighting for as the saying goes so, i knew i had to fight for mine but how do i compete with such a beauty or fight someone that strong? I decided to make him see reasons why im supposed to be the first in her life and the following conversation ensued between us: * I: i know everyone wants a good thing bro but she is mine to love and cherish. You probably love her beauty. She is the will of God for my life. God led me to her. Even before we met, i did pray for her. Dont disrupt Gods will. * HE: i reached into the depth of her heart, know everything there but still love her same. I prayed for her before she came into existence. Ive never ceased. * I: Are you a surgeon? Let go of her my friend. Ive known her for five years. She is my world. I know all her friends and family members. We never talked about you. I cant live without her nor she without me. * HE: I knew her before she was formed in her mothers womb. I know the number of hairs on her head. I was there when she was being knitted. My fingers moulded her. I gave her breath. Without me, she wont have a life. (What? Why lying nah? Those stuffs are impossible. This guy has been reading too much of poem) * I: great poet, i and she are meant for each other. When she broke my heart and apologised later, i took her back not because i wasnt hurt but i cant live without her. She did same for me. * HE: she was too ashamed to ask for forgiveness the last time she shattered my heart. I had to look for her as always and wash away her shame in my blood. Ive never broken her heart! * I: mr perfect, ive suffered a lot because of her. There was a time she was sick and got admitted in the hospital. I had to keep watch over her. I didnt sleep for three days and nights. * HE: I sleep nor slumber not because of her. It was by my stripes she was made whole. * I: Are you kerosene? I shared everything I had with her. When she needed blood, I gave her 3 pints. Where were you then? The only thing left for me to share with her is my surname. Shes mine! * HE: i died a shameful death so that she might live. She was adopted into my family through me. * I: Died? Iku bi ti bawo? I have nothing more to say. Why did you go to such an extent for her? * HE: i love her. It wasnt the nails that kept me on the cross; it was LOVE. * I: ive never seen nor heard of such a love on earth before. If thats the definition of love then, ive been doing something else. What is your name? Are you related to Romeo or Jack? * HE: Take a closer look at me. See the points where nails were driven into my hands. I am He who was, who is and is to come. * I: Whao! Arewa to ju arewa lo! Jesus! My grief denied me a close observation. Didnt my heart burn within me while you talked to me? Im sorry; you deserve her. You can have her! * HE: I brought you together. Shes yours to marry here on earth but know that the first position in her life is mine. If i were you, I would simply say: will you marry me? With that advice, he left the room. I walked up to my lady, knelt down on one knee and said will you marry me? to which she answered YES! YES!! YES!!! That was when i heard a familiar song: Im in love with Jesus! And hes in love with me. After about fifteen seconds, the song stopped and started from the beginning only for it to stop again after fifteen seconds. It wasnt until the fifth repetition that i woke up. I had been dreaming and missed six calls from my special friend. Who is the first in your life? The lady you met six months ago? family? Friend? Pastor? Your boss? Your career? Pls, let Jesus have his rightful position. Is the position still vacant? Ask Jesus to fill it. No matter how far youve gone, he will reach you the instant you repent of your sins, forsake them and confess him as Lord. As for me, the position has been taken by the one who loves me unconditionally, died for me and rose again to live forever; JESUS!
