Passionate Pursuit
I chased a bear into the woods . . .
Now, when I say I chased a bear, I mean I loudly and passionately chased a bear in the mountains of Tennessee. Let me paint a picture for you.
We were on vacation with friends and were driving back to our cabin. The sun was very bright. We were all talking when Alex turned the corner and the sun blinded him. I looked up and crossing the street was a black bear. My brain processed what it was, but I couldn’t get the word "bear" out of my mouth, so I start screaming like a crazy person. One of our friends saw it and yelled, “Bear!” Alex stops the car, and I go running down the street after this bear. With all the commotion the bear retreated into the woods. At the tree line, I dropped to my knees with arms extended as I violently scream, "COME BACK BEAR!"
The bear took off never to be seen again!
The next morning, when Jesus and I were spending time together, He took me off guard when He asked me this question.
“What if you chased after Me and your husband like you chased that bear?”
What if I search for Jesus and my husband in this passionate way? What if I were that passionate about them? What if I were that relentless in my pursuit of them? What if I were that loud and wild about Jesus and my husband? What would my relationship with them be like if my pursuit looked like my pursuit of that bear?
What would other marriages look like if both spouses pursued the Lord and each other with that much intensity?
I believe we would see this world change in unimaginable ways. I believe we would see marriages change in unimaginable ways.
We can make passionately pursuing our spouses a part of our daily lives. We can do this in many ways.
Pursue your spouse by speaking well of them. Compliment them and tell them often you love them.
Pursue your spouse by bragging on them when they do something good and encouraging them daily.
Pursue your spouse in intimate ways. Sex is a gift that we get to enjoy in marriage.
There are many ways you can pursue your spouse; just make sure you do so daily and passionately!
Pray then Act
Are you passionately pursuing your spouse? Are you showing them love every day?
Adventure Awaits! Let’s Go!

Father, my spouse is a gift. A good gift you have given to me to enjoy. Help me to find ways every day to pursue them passionately.
