I don't always want be so negative so here is a little love story for you. I met my husband on Match.com. Funny enough his name is Dan which I think is adorable. Our first conversation was sharing testimonies and it was probably one of the best conversations I've ever had. He drove an hour to meet me for the first time several weeks later. When he got out of his truck the literal first thing I thought was "WOW Good one Dani". We entered our relationship knowing we were both looking for the one. It just so happened thats exactly what we did. It was so helpful establishing our intentions up front. It changed the dynamic of our dating relationship. We have been married for around a month now and he is everything my parents and I have prayed for myself. I still can't believe how God has blessed me with a man who always puts me first. He has given me love like I never felt before.
My dad always told me to guard my heart. Something I never did for myself was made someone wait on me. God will give you the strength if you let him to guard you from deception. I was searching for an unconditional love that no one was capable of giving me. God is Love, he is the never ending supply of love. There is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear, Fear of abandonment, loneliness, and unworthiness. By knowing and believing we are loved by him allows a fearlessness, a divine confidence. You become less stressed and anxious about your situations. You are also free then to love others in a new way, because God is living inside of you. You have to accept love before you can give it. If you are not happy with yourself you shouldn't be dating. Do not go looking to the arms of a man. God is the only one who will renu your self worth.
If you are hungry you will look in the fridge for something to eat. The same goes for your soul. If you are hungry for attention, or to feel love you need a source. Because of our sinful nature other people will never fully satisfy you. Eating junk food for dinner will fill you up but will it give you energy? Again, our souls are the same. Why would you want to settle? Without God at the center of you relationships you will see people sucking the life out of each other. One person is down most likely the other person is also going to be affected. So when God is your center he will give you the strength to be there for that other person. Even when you feel you don't have anything left to give. He doesn't want you to do it alone.
When you do start talking to someone and you aren't sure where they stand. Ponder these questions.
-Do they Send? Do they initiate conversation with you?
-Do they stay? Are they there for you when you need them?
-Are they sacrificing? Are they willing to compromise?
I can tell you God Sent his only son to earth to perform miracles
He Stays when we sin against him.
God Sacrificed his only son on the cross to make a way for you to live in heaven perfectly with him.
May his love be an example for you in your search for a husband/wife. May he also be an example for you when it comes time to show love to someone.
Psalm 65:5 "You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds."
God wants to bless you with wonderful things he knows the desires of your heart. Ask him to guide you in your search and he will. He already has your person in mind. I would also tell you if you haven't met them yet to start praying for them now.
This song is the song my Dad and I danced to at my wedding. This song is what my Dad thought of when he hoped for the man I would marry someday. He wanted someone who would look at me the way Hunter Hayes signs in this song. Sure enough that is exactly what Dan is for me today. Never put a limit on God's great plans for you.
