Hanaya & Hiroto: The road less traveled

Twilight Radio

Hanaya can't stop thinking about her aunt's comments regarding Hiroto (previous clip). While they hang out in the school common room, Hanaya finally musters the courage to ask Hiroto if he is following Jesus because he likes her or if he truly wants to.
Worried that she might stop talking to him, Hiroto plays it safe and says he likes someone else. He then asks Hanaya how she would feel if a guy confessed his feelings to her.
As they continue to chat, Hanaya explains why a guy might hesitate to be with her, the purity boundaries she intends to keep during the courting phase, and why that matters to her.
When she starts sharing her specific plans for cross-cultural missions after finishing high school, Hiroto realizes that pursuing her might be more complicated than he had anticipated. He feels like time is slipping away. While Hanaya takes a short nap, he keeps looking at her and speaks to Jesus from his heart.
This is a must-listen as a lot is going on in the conversation. Perhaps God is prompting you to think outside the box of a conventional life.
Only one life, the still small voice
Gently pleads for a better choice
Bidding me selfish aims to leave
And to God’s Holy will to cleave
Only one life, a few brief years
Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears
Each with its days I must fulfil
Living for self or in His will
Give me Father, a purpose deep
Let me say, Thy will be done
And when at last I’ll hear the call
I know I’ll say it was worth it all
Only one life, it will soon be past
Only what’s done for Christ will last
