When God is your matchmaker?
My last post dealt with letting God have control over your life. I mentioned dating but I didn't exactly go in too deep. I will attempt to do that here. What exactly does it mean to have God control your love life. First I wanted to deal with a viewpoint I noticed a bit in the Christian arena of dating. We actually do say we want God to have control of our love lives. But it seems to go as far as "I need to date a Godly guy or girl." And so we look for people who tout themselves as A christian but thats where the standards seem to end. But what if God asked you to stay single for a bit? What if that was his plan for you? Would you obey God's will then? See thats where it gets difficult. We want God to find our match for us but we don't want to be involved in the whole business of being single. And I know its hard. I know how it feels to long in the depths of your soul for that one person. But I think we really overlook how valuable being single is. It is a blessing. It is not a waiting period, likened to a doctors office, waiting to be fixed by another person. It is a treasured time to be free, and to be molded by God.
