The right man will PURSUE your heart (i.e ask you out, lead you closer to God) & make his intentions super clear!! You should learn more about the Father’s heart in a dating relationship, not grow away from Him.// friendly reminder
If you pray, “Make me more like Jesus,” or “Father, thy will be done,” don’t be surprised if everything in your life gets flipped completely upside down. Don’t pray it if you don’t mean it!
Hear me out:
Whatever you tolerate while dating, will multiply 10 times in marriage. Marriage doesn’t fix dysfunction. Don’t date potential, date reality.

Since everyone’s going to be stuck at home for awhile, now would be a cool time to get back into your Bible! If you’ve got extra time off from school or work, the “I’m too busy excuse” won’t apply... so why not spend that extra time with God? Just a thought.
The faith of some of my friends is seriously SO grounding and edifying. I got news that my job is abruptly ending next week and my friend said “Dude that’s so exciting. What do you think God’s gonna do?”
We do not mourn as those who have no hope.
It takes huge strength and discipline to keep going once you choose to get going. You will find a thousand reasons to stop or turn back, but i encourage you to persevere. It’ll be worth it.
When your search for your spouse is more important than the pursuit of your savior there’s a huge problem. You’ll never be the man or the woman your spouse needs you to be when you’re trying to make things happen in the season God’s trying to mold you in.
you. must. not. take. everything. you. hear. for. truth.
listen, satan is crafty. so he will try to get you to latch on to “half truths” or “feel good truths” or “taken out of context truths” and run with it
just because a pastor said it, doesn’t mean it aligns with the Bible.
