Love Dares
03-01 through 03-02

Dare: Prepare a special dinner at home. Focus this time on getting to know each other better.

Day 19: Love is Impossible
1 John 4:7
Dare: Look back over the dares you have done. Pray about the ones that seemed impossible to you. Ask God to show you your heart and where you stand with him. Ask him for the strength and grace to settle your eternal destination.

Day 20: Love is Jesus Christ
Romans 5:6
Dare: Take God at His word. Dare to trust Jesus Christ for salvation. Dare to pray, “Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. But you have shown Your love for me by dying to forgive my sins and You have proven Your power to save me from death by Your resurrection. Lord, change my heart and save me by Your grace.

Day 21: Love is Satisfied in God
Isaiah 58:11
Dare: Be intentional today about making time to pray and read of your Bible. Try reading a chapter of Proverbs everyday, or reading a chapter in the gospel. As you do, immerse yourself in the love and promises God has for you. This will add to your growth as you walk with Him.
