Agent finds a Warrior by Guy Stanton III Read Free Book Online

there
is nothing ordinary about an individual who has an eternal heavenly
destination. To borrow from the Marine Corps you are one of the
few, the proud, and the brave. I didn’t mean to just preach at you
so heavily, but it burdens me when I see individuals under value
themselves as to what God can bless them to do for His righteous
causes.”
    Maria was looking at me as if she was seeing
a new side of something, “You really think I’m that important?”
    “I do, but much more significant than what I
think is how Jesus thinks about you.”
    She nodded.
    The temperature was warm and the country
lane we stood in promised to offer a good long walk to wherever we
were going.
    “I’ll hold your coat and pack for you if
you’d like while we walk.” I offered obligingly.
    She handed me her pack and I slung it over
my shoulder. Then she slipped off her leather coat and handed it to
me and I hung it over my arm with my coat. We started out with her
looking around at every countryside sight, while I looked at
her.
    It was a wonder that I didn’t trip and fall
over flat onto my face. I watched her warm brown skin darken and
she glanced up at me inquiringly in regards to my intense perusal
of her.
    “Is there something on my face or
something?” She asked.
    I glanced away from her smiling into the
distance.
    She touched my shoulder hesitantly and I
glanced back to her, “You can keep looking. I shouldn’t have……. I
know why you were looking and it’s okay.”
    “I’m sorry that my looking at your beauty
causes you such discomfort.”
    She stopped walking and so I stopped.
    I waited patiently for her to speak.
    “Well it shouldn’t. There’s absolutely
nothing wrong with you!” She glanced away before adding, “I’m the
problem.”
    She glanced back to me, “What kind of man
even apologizes for looking at a woman the way you were at me
anyway? You’re so different from any man that I’ve ever met
before!”
    “Looking and imagining can be as significant
as touching. Both of them have been forbidden to me until now. It’s
hard to stop from indulging when I look at your beauty and know
what I know will eventually come to pass between us.”
    She moved her head to the side gazing at me
as if puzzled by something, “You’re saying that you think to even
look at a woman you’re not married to is a sin?”
    I nodded, “Jesus laid it out very clearly
that we are accountable for the thoughts of our minds as much as we
are the actions which we commit with our hands. He even went as far
to say that to hate someone was the same as if to murder them.”
    “I have a question. You don’t have to answer
it if you don’t want to.”
    “Ask away.” I said obligingly.
    “You’ve never been with a woman physically
before have you?”
    “No.”
    “What about thinking?”
    “I’ve failed there many times most notably
with you. You really get to me. Overwhelm would be a better word
for it.” I admitted honestly.
    Maria looked down blushing as she said, “I
have another question.”
    Laughing I said, “Go ahead.”
    She looked up and gestured between us, “Are
we…….” She trailed off looking uncomfortable.
    “Married?” I said filling in for her.
    She nodded.
    “The act of marriage as seen in the eyes of
man has varied through the years in terms of its form of ceremony.
I only regard what the Holy Scripture has to say of it. In the
beginning of creation man was formed and that man was given a woman
as a helpmate and lifelong companion. I am a man after Adam and God
has given me you. Quite simply put you are my woman and I will have
relation with no other than you, as it is good for man to have but
one wife. You will bear my name, even as you bear my children and
your affection will be towards me. I will care for you, protect
you, and love you all the days of my life, even as Christ loves and
cares for the church. Does that answer your question?”
    “Yes.” Maria said sounding shaken.
    “Shall we
