V 11-13 "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.”
The dry ground of faith in God and His Word regarding Christian relationships in dating yields peaceful, enjoyable results. But if you follow the world's thoughts about romance and morality your relationship will not be able to produce grass.
When a courtship is established by faith, there are three wonderful things which will develop (grow) from it: (1) grass, (2) herbs yielding seed, and (3) fruit trees yielding fruit. These three will morally appear in this same order in a Godly Christian courtship.
Two believers who are in a dating relationship should first make sure it is producing "grass". In Psa. 23 we learn that grass brings rest and peace. In Mark 6:3939And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. (Mark 6:39), before the Lord Jesus feeds the multitude, He gives them a place of rest on the green grass.
Beloved young people, see to it that your dating and courtship is characterized from the very beginning by peace and rest. "Let the peace of God rule" (Col. 3:1515And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. (Colossians 3:15)). How quickly a Christian romance can be ruined when one partner pushes the other to go beyond his or her conscience when expressing affections. No grass can grow (no rest or peace will be found) in a relationship where there is constant anxiety because of the unseemly actions of one towards the other.
