You must keep the faith that you will meet the 1. It’s not something that might happen, but it’s something that has already happened in the spirit. It’s already written in your book in heaven. Do you know what that means? It means it’s already done! You just have to live it out and recognize that the enemy doesn’t want it to be fulfilled. So, fight back. Fight the good fight of faith.
So many individuals spend so much time looking for love when in all actuality, love is looking for you! You must understand that God wired you to want love and to give love. So, finding love is not the challenge b/c love is looking for you!
You must understand that for most of you, you don’t need to wait to get married, but you need to fight to get married. I say it often that 1 of 2 things are going on. Either God hasn’t released your mate yet and it’s a matter of waiting, or God has released your mate and Satan is holding it up in spiritual warfare.
Yes, you have to date before you get married and when you get married. However, there are some early dating warning signs to look out for while dating to help you avoid some unnecessary damage.
1.) When Spending Time Doesn’t Seem To Be Priority
Whether they are local or long distance, spending time should be a top priority. If you find yourself not talking to them for 1 day or days at a time, that is a major red flag. I don’t care how busy they say they are. A person makes time for what they want. How can you really get to know each other or grow in a relationship without spending time?
You may be wondering if you will ever meet the right 1. Dating sometimes can be frustrating. You may be wondering why does it have to be so complicated? Why can’t the 1 just show up today and you live happily ever after?
Here we are approaching the end of another calendar year and perhaps you find yourself in what seems like the same position as you were in last year this time so when it comes to relationships. You may either not be with anyone, not have any legitimate potentials or still recovering from a breakup. Wherever you find yourself, if you are not with the 1 God has for you it can get a bit frustrating.
Today, I’m pulling from the archives and doing a blog post throwback.
Dear Duke,
I read the blog last week and it made me think about what I am currently facing and I was thinking maybe you could do a part 2 on just trust or not missing your blessing.
The gentleman I mentioned to you months ago and I are actually still talking. He has a lot of characteristics that are highly admirable and things I want in a man. Patient (annoyingly patient, LOL), kind, committed, honest, respectful, loves his family, unselfish, great listener, and LOVES kids! As we continue to learn more about each other, he is becoming more physically attractive as well; go figure, because I wouldn’t have believed that months ago.
We have heard people say that love will make you do the wrong thing. However, contrary to popular belief, that’s not true. Love doesn’t make you do anything to someone or for someone that’s wrong. Love doesn’t have that ability. God doesn’t have that ability, and God is love. Love is powerful. Love won’t make a person do the wrong thing, but love will make them do the right thing.
Dating can and should be fun when it’s not casual but with a purpose. Sometimes there can be a thin line between casual dating and dating with a purpose. You would think it wouldn’t be, but some people make it seem like it is purposeful even though they’re not all in. So, I have included 3 things to do to avoid someone wasting your time.
Tough decisions are tough for a reason. We have to make them throughout life. You can know the right thing to do, but it doesn’t always mean that the decision is easy. Some of you are in “situations” right now. It’s not a relationship, but simply a situation. For some of you it is a relationship, but it’s time to make some choices.
