"He does but that doesn't stop Him from loving you all the same."
"How is that possible?" I wiped my eyes.
"God is love; He loves you because it's in His nature to do so." He said and I could barely comprehend what he meant. "Give Him a chance to show His love to you."
"I don't understand and I don't think I want to." I shook my head in denial. "I will see you later."

"God loves you and believe it or not I do too. I love you Zaya, so much that I want you to be my wife." He said and I stopped on my tracks, then I turned to look at him intently.
Marriage? Could I ever have that?
"What?" I asked him.
"Marry me," he looked into my eyes and I panicked.
He meant it for some reason and that alone was enough to make me run away like the coward I was.
