Leslie Lutie says women who have grown up dreaming of romance need to look to Christ.

We've dreamed our whole life about this prince, this gallant, noble, heroic man who will lead us away to his castle on a white steed and love us unconditionally and cherish us and nurture us and appreciate us.

You never can find that in a human

person, but you can find that in Jesus Christ. Why wouldn't you want the greatest love story

of all time? Whether you ever get married on this earth or not, you have a bridegroom who is the

fulfillment of all your romantic dreams and desires that you've had since childhood. And if it doesn't seem that he could truly fulfill them,

then you need to get to know him better because that's who he is.

That's the very essence of who he is.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Labor Day, September 1st, 2014.

Thank you. 2014. Well, as you know, we're on a mission here at Revive Our Hearts, and that's not just to have a

daily radio program and not just to write books, but to call women to freedom and fullness

and fruitfulness in Christ.

And that requires of us that we are fully surrendered to the Lord Jesus and willing to live a life that is set apart for his holy purposes.

And I thank the Lord that he is raising up in our day a remnant of countercultural women, women who are willing to swim upstream against the culture,

even against the Christian subculture, as that's required to be God's set apart, true women.

And I love meeting women who are part of that remnant, who are part of that countercultural revolution,

and introducing them to you, because I think they create in all of that remnant, who are part of that countercultural revolution, and

introducing them to you, because I think they create in all of us an appetite, a hunger,

a thirst to know Christ in a more intimate and personal way, and to be more fully set apart

for his purposes.

And I've had the privilege recently of meeting a younger woman who is one of those countercultural

women.
