Snippets from my journal, and the book "Fearlessly Single."
We want what it is we don't have.
Live by the world's standards, or live by God's?
God doesn't show favoritism.
Those God loves, He prunes.
It's all about purpose...and growth.
Women start dating ungodly men out of desperation.
Things always look easy when one is looking in from the outside.
God works everything together for our good.
He knew the mistakes we'd make, before we even made them.
And then He loves us until we heal from those mistakes.
Daughters, do not awaken love until it's ready. Song of Solomon 3:5
God works differently for all of us.
Soul ties. We were not made to become attached to anyone & everyone.
That tie is for our future spouse, to save us heartache and pain.
Unevenly yoked, a believer with a non-believer. Don't do it.
Your husband will father your children.
Think about it...
Humans, even if we do the right thing, part of us always questions our decision.
When will it be me? I want that....
We ask ourselves.
Self-control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. We must learn it.
It's not about getting married as much as finding the right person to marry.
Don't choose in desperation, but in calm, with a clean mind.
We become obsessive & consumed by it. You know, finding the one.
Don't you ever settle.
You will only suffer in the future if you do that.
Don't lose who you are.
Don't compromise who you are for someone else.
Christians still have the same desires as everyone else out there.
Watch out for the two-faced men, the one's who live a double life.
Acting Godly in church, then persuading a woman to compromise who she is.
What she stands for.
Selfishness.
Think about the type of men you gravitate towards.
"I tend to go for the fast ones."
We feel pressure from society.
Don't be lured by beauty, physical attributes. You'll pay the price later.
We long for men because there is something missing in us.
Loneliness tempts us.
But he is nice, and caring, we clique so well... we spend all our time together.
We are like an old married couple, but he is not a Christian...
What I did not realize was that I placed him in God's place.
No man deserves the love that is reserved for God.
We worship non other than God.
God is a jealous one.
Put God back in His rightful place.
The things of this world fade away, but God still remains.
After all, You are constant.
After all, You are only good.
After all, You are sovereign.
Not for a moment, will You forsake me.
