#GodlyDating101Book
We sometimes question God’s timing, but I’m glad God opens doors when I’m ready and not just when I ask. Rushing into something you aren’t prepared for can be damaging to your future.
Most people don't want to hear this...but REAL relationships that last involve a LOT of forgiveness! You have to accept that fact that your partner is NOT perfect & will hurt you, disappoint you and upset you. Decide if you're willing to go through ups and downs with them. 😘
I think it’s emotionally and spiritually healthy to take some time to step back from people or entertainment so you can just be with Jesus. Don’t allow yourself to get consumed and drained. Your peace is more important than your “image”.
You can really damage your purpose by marrying, or dating, someone that doesn’t care if you seek God or not. If they don’t push you closer to God and your goals, they’re a distraction.
Lord,
Whatever is for me, let me see that door and walk through it. Whatever isn’t in Your plan for my life, please remove it from my path. I don’t want to pursue things that are distractions, help me to chase after Your will.
Your looks don’t make you “marriage material”. Can you pray? Are you selfish? Do you know how to resolve conflict without sarcasm and insults? Allow God to work on your character because godly, mature relationships require hard work.
When they’re actually serious about wanting to be with you, you won’t have to question it. We won’t have to keep guessing when their intentions are pure.
You’re not single because of the mistakes in your past. God is just preparing you mentally, emotionally and spiritually so that when He does bless you with someone new, you won’t repeat the past mistakes or entertain the same type of person.
Don’t be afraid to tell God how you really feel. You can remove that mask in His presence. He knows you’re struggling, He knows you don’t have it all together, He knows you’re upset when you didn’t get what you prayed for and He knows you feel abandoned. Turn to Him in prayer.
Feelings are constantly changing, which is why love is more than a feeling. You have to choose to be faithful, consistent and forgiving daily for the relationship to work.
Be careful who you entertain. The goal is to be closer to God, not to entertain people that bring you back to your old habits that Jesus freed you from.
Lord,
Direct us when we think a distraction is a blessing. So many things, emotions and people fight for our attention, but help us to focus on You. Please don't allow me to walk through a door/opportunity unless You are guiding me that direction. I want your plans, not my will.
God loves you too much to make you date someone that won’t strengthen you spiritually. Relationships should edify and build you, not be a spiritual hindrance.
Lord,
My emotions tend to deceive me, good friends don’t always give great advice and my plans aren’t always Yours. Lead me through the doors You have for me. If the opportunities I’m chasing aren’t what You want me to have, help me to trust Your “no” and not doubt Your plan.
Trusting God means trusting His timing and trusting His “no”. Don’t allow your timeline or your desires to delay what God is doing in your life. His plans for our lives are always better.
Lord,
I know what I want, but You know what I need in my life. Give me the wisdom to know when to let go and the faith to go after what You have for me. Lead me by Your spirit and not by how I feel. Help me to trust that every “no” is a blessing, even when I don’t understand.
A praying spouse is a blessing. You won’t always feel spiritually “high”, so it’s essential that you connect with someone who has a strong walk with God to keep you both rooted in any rough season you may face.
I wish I could tell you that once you obey, God will give you everything you desire. It’s not always that simple. Sometimes God delays certain blessings because we aren’t ready for it or He just doesn’t want us to have it. The key is to trust that He knows what is best for us.
If you stopped going to church, stop seeking God and stopped hanging around godly influences when you started dating them, do you think God sent that person? God doesn’t give us relationships to distract us, He sends the right people to help us get closer to Him.
People think we simply “fall in love”. No, that’s not always the case. You choose love, over and over again. When frustrated, you choose them. When upset, you choose them. When tempted by others, you still choose them.
True happiness is found in Christ first. Our joy won’t be because of a job, relationship, or anything else we are seeking. If we don’t allow God to complete us, we’ll spend our entire lives chasing temporary “blessings” and still feel empty.
Many are single because of their immaturity or how they treat people, not because “God is preparing them for someone special”. We have to stop condoning childish mindsets or toxic characteristics. Sometimes, God is protecting them from us!
Can you imagine running into someone you can serve God with, that’s beautiful inside and out, but you met them after you’ve settled for someone God said to let go of?
Don’t be afraid of singleness. Be afraid of committing to a pointless relationship. You want to be able to grow closer towards God and your goals, anything less is a distraction.
🙌🏽 Men, it’s OKAY to pursue a woman. Ladies, it’s OKAY to allow yourself to be pursued. Don’t allow fear or pride to hinder you from a godly relationship.
Don’t waste your singleness. Go learn to seek God without a person. Learn to cook, how to save, try getting an education and a job. Some things need to get situated before you invite someone else into an unsteady lifestyle.
God isn’t going to confuse you with the relationships He has for you. When it’s God’s will, there will be peace about it. When it isn’t, you’ll be left with a lot of unnecessary questions.
