Aunty Precious, how is that guy that is asking you out? Are you already catching feelings for him?
He is handsome and very nice to you and you are already seeing him in your dreams right?
Nice! But wait a minute, have you taken time out to ask for God's opinion about him?
Oh! You think you can do it all alone?
How about you Brother Sam? That beautiful lady that you are eyeing in the choir who sings gloriously. Have you taken time to seek God's opinion about her?
Her voice melts your heart, her looks give you goosebumps and you think that is all there is?
Listen, there's more to a relationship than meets the eyes. What will it cost you to invite God before anything start to brew?
Don't you know He is a relationship professional? Moreover, He Knows the end from the beginning? Won't it be in your best interest to know what relationship with that brother or sister will be like from the one person who knows the deepest content of their hearts?
What if that brother is only lying about his intentions? Or maybe that sister is actually not meant for you. You don't care to know all that? Really?
So, if you finally start the relationship, what is the goal?
If challenges arise, who do you plan to run to?
Forgive me, I ask a lot of questions. But wait, were you able give a suitable answer to any of those questions?
Proverbs 14:12 says "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end, it leads to destruction."
You cannot base a relationship on mere feelings of the heart, sights of the eyes or thoughts of the brain.
There's someone who sees deeper, broader and wider. He is God. Consult Him first before anything else. You have nothing to lose.
Start with God
Build with God
Grow with God
