QUESTION:
Hey do me a favor and go look at my profile at my latest blog. It's all about this guy I meet this weekend and I want to know what you think. Like am I falling way to fast for him or is it just a summer fling??? I really really like him though!
ANSWER:
I read your blog. God gave us feelings and they should be influenced by the Spirit of God who lives within us (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19). When our emotions are in charge of us it means that the Lord is not in charge. God never asks us to deny our feelings, just not be led by them.
Finding the right person is very important. Knowing when we have found the right person sometimes takes time and experience. It’s very easy to get caught up in the idea of a relationship and not carefully consider whether or not that person is suitable in the long run.
Your relationship should be built on Christ and not feelings. Important questions to think about for the both of you:
“Are you both saved?”
“What is your understanding of who Jesus is?”
“Do you live according to God’s will?”
You need to be on the same page because if you’re not, it will only lead to misdirection and frustration.
Take your time in getting to know him. Build a friendship first.
We need to maintain faith and trust in God, praying for His provision. Be practical about finding a partner. God knows our needs and wants the best for us.
Psalm 37:4
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart”.
