Relationships...pt.3

Okay, now we're at our final part of this whole blog series. Yeah, i know, i said there would be 4 parts, but, what I realized was that the things that I thought I came up with on my own, were actually revelations given to me from God. So yeah. This last part is going to be about all the things God has let me known.

So one of the things that God has revealed to me about relationships is, are you sure he/she is the one. Like I've said before, a lot of people now adays, especially this generation, has mistaken lust for love. When they think they're in love, it's usually lust that they're feeling, and its lust towards someone you think you might be soul mates with. I'll tell you this right now, you don't know for sure who you're going to be with, but God does. If you trust in God, and be PATIENT, then He is going to set you up with that special one. Never try to pursue that person unless you're for sure it's God's will to, and for sure that it's the right time. It will not work out if you try to do it on your own. Proverbs 12:15 "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise." Be patient. Proverbs 19:11 "A mans wisdom gives him patience." The Lord WILL provide for you your wife/husband. All you have to do is to be patient and to trust in Him.

Another thing, actually, this will be last one i will say because I can't remember the rest, but, this is the most important one. If you can't say deep in your heart, that you love God more than anything, and ANYONE in your life, you're not ready for a relationship. What I believe is one of the most important things you need to declare before pursuing a relationship is saying that you love God more than anything, more than your life, and that nothing, and NO ONE will ever replace Him in your heart. This is very crucial. If you can't do this, then your relationship may work out, but I really don't think so. You're eventually going to idolize that person, if not completely ignore. Your love is going to fade. All these things are going to happen, and probably even a lot more heart breaking things. Once you begin to turn your heart away from God, things will begin to fall apart. You'll find out that your wife/husband won't be able to give you the guidance you REALLY need, the grace you really need, the support you really need, the love you really need, etc., hopefully you get the point. The only person who can fully give you what you NEED is God! I'm not saying don't get married and stuff, I'm just saying, once you begin to look away from God, you're going to have problems. You'll begin to fall into sinful actions and lust. It's like, a car driving itself towards the edge of a cliff, with no one to turn it's direction or to step on the brakes. Your relationship is the car, and the person who's supposed to be driving you, leading you, is God. When the driver isn't there, who is God, you're bound to hit rock bottom. Now, sure, they're times when you'll just run out of gas and stop halfway and be safe, so what? You want a congradulations? All that you have accomplished is staying in the same spot. Not moving towards anything. Nothing. You need God in your relationship to steer you towards a good lake or something of the sort.

Okay, so I'm sorry if this is coming off a little harsh, and a bit narrow-minded, but this is the way I see it, and believe it. I don't know. :P

Also, if you're really considering being in a relationship, I recommend reading "Boy Meets Girl" by Joshua Harris. Awesome book. I'm not done reading it but it's really good.
