Are you in a hurry for a relationship? Nowadays, a lot of people believe that singleness is a call for a relationship. More often this leads to unintended pain and hurt because of unprepared self and rushed relationships. Everyone desires to be valued and loved and sometimes we think that we can acquire this if we are in a relationship and loved by a significant other regardless of being unfit.
Believe me when I tell you that waiting in patience and faith with God is better than having unintentional pain. Use your singlehood as a foundation to know and love God more, use this time to use your full potential to fulfill your purpose in life, make this moment in your life in creating an intimate relationship with God and by knowing yourself more. Because in time, in God’s perfect time, He will give the right person who He has been preparing for you.
We may be vulnerable in some ways but we shouldn’t reciprocate the attention we receive if it is not our intention if we are not ready for commitment, and if we have no desire to have an honest relationship. If they like you it doesn’t mean you need to return the favor. Set standards for yourself. Not too high to pull them down and not too low to guard your heart at all. Don’t settle with a significant other who would chat silly questions like, ”Have you eaten? What are you doing?” or long night chats with insignificant points. You deserve someone better. Someone who would want you to fall in love with Jesus more, someone who wants you to be His and fulfill the purpose that the Lord has set for you, and someone who will help you grow in Christ more. You deserve someone who will praise and honor God with you, who is eager to talk with you about God, and someone who will lead you.
You deserve someone who pursues you like Jesus – with an honest relationship, clear intention, secures you emotionally and mentally, and wins your heart by guarding it. So don’t rush God. He is working in ways we cannot see and He is preparing for your significant other. God’s timing and ways are perfect, always.
