Our flesh is insatiable, it always wants more. It looks at the goods, the experiences, the relationships of others and it wants the same thing. But we must break this bad habit because it leads us in the wrong direction.
Give up or give “up”?
Surrender your dreams to the Lord… Does it mean to give up our dream of getting married, or to stop looking, to give up all hope, all expectations? There are two ways to give up: one that produces hope, and one that produces despair.
Find love in 2016?
The beginning of a new year often comes with resolutions. We will lose a few kilos, pay our debts and find a… partner? We cannot force love, but we can take some steps to say goodbye to being single.
Seek or wait?
You want to get married. Celibacy… is not for you! So should you seek, like Matthew 7:7 says, or should you wait for the Lord like Psalm 130:5 says?
Seek (everywhere!) and you shall find
If your faith is really important to you, you need to marry someone that not only claims the title of “Christian”, but really demonstrates their commitment to Christ. Where could you find such a person? Surprisingly, they may be outside of your local church!
