Just be ourselves, be out on a beautiful hike or walk around the park, well, it does depends where you live, lets go to a place where you can enjoy and learn about you in a safe relaxing place like a coffee/ tea establishment or a nice simple lunch, picnic or dinner atmosphere.

Be careful how you choose, and devote yourself to, to have a deeper understanding of mercy, forgiveness and what is true communication. Do not apologize or compromise for who we are when serving the Lord in love and faith for only prayer was the answer.

Leaving the world and its ideas and ways, letting the Lord by His power so we can overcome the nature I was and still struggle with, to prepare the way for others to understand the real truth being trodden underfoot and be a guiding hand as the Lord was to us in the beginning of our journey of understanding His World view and never let go or look back to who we used to be.

Daniel 1:8 - But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested for the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

This is a very deep message, and one of my favorites for we see mainly two teachings, a physical denial of a poor diet, (heart means "mind" or your will-desire, prov 23:7) and a spiritual lesson not to eat (Jer 15:16) poor doctrinal teaching (false truth mixed with truth). Job 11:6 states that the scriptures are dual or have more than one message, and in Matthew 13:10-16 the Lord uses metaphoric or spiritual meanings to words we have to decipher by other passages in the Bible "Isa 28:9-13". If you look at 1 Cor 3:16-17 the word "defile" is the same as destroy, meaning we destroy ourselves by our own action and God has to destroy what we are destroying, so we hand down our own destruction, the Lord is trying to save us (new instruction with power" from ourselves. When Daniel ask the Prince of the Eunuchs, ask yourself in spiritual terms "who is that". Who is our Prince, and what does Eunuchs mean, " cutting off the foreskin" or cutting of from sin, look up Joshua 5:3-6,8,14-16 those that have circumcised themselves of sin and sinning from the pleasure of the earth". So who is the Prince of the circumcised - Jesus Christ! So when we are tempted to defile ourselves with the kings of the world, diet, false teaching, which kings also means spiritual leaders in the church, we are to ask God for help. Praise God

In Adventist home Pg. 45 is what the Lord gave us as a guideline to choose our lover and friend for marriage.

“Weigh every sentiment, and watch every development of
character in the one with whom you think to link your life destiny.
The step you are about to take is one of the most important in
your life, and should not be taken hastily. While you may love,
do not love blindly.
Examine carefully to see if your married life would be happy or
inharmonious and wretched. Let the questions be raised, Will
this union help me heavenward? Will it increase my love for
God? And will it enlarge my sphere of usefulness in this life? If
these reflections present no drawback, then in the fear of God
move forward.

“Before giving her hand in marriage, every woman should
inquire whether he with whom she is about to unite her destiny
is worthy. What has been his past record? Is his life pure? Is the
love which he expresses of a noble, elevated character, or is it a
mere emotional fondness? Has he the traits of character that
will make her happy? Can she find true peace and joy in his
affection? Will she be allowed to preserve her individuality, or
must her judgment and conscience be surrendered to the
control of her husband? . . . Can she honor the Saviour's claims r /)as supreme? Will body and soul, thoughts and purposes, be
preserved pure and holy? These questions have a vital bearing
upon the well-being of every woman who enters the marriage
relation.
Let the woman who desires a peaceful, happy union, who would
escape future misery and sorrow, inquire before she yields her
affections, Has my lover a mother? What is the stamp of her
character? Does he recognize his obligations to her? Is he
mindful of her wishes and happiness? If he does not respect or
honor his mother, will he manifest respect and love, kindness
and attention, toward his wife? When the novelty of marriage is
over, will he love me still? Will he be patient with my mistakes,
or will he be critical, overbearing, and dictatorial? True affection w i l l o v e r l o o k m a n y m i s t a k e s ; l o v e w i l l n o t d i s c e r n them.” {Adventist Home, pg 47
