Every time i feel down about guys or having troubles with the ones in the past. I listen to this song and it builds me up(: I thank God for this message..
this isn't a very good message. don't get me wrong i'm not against heterosexual relationships but I am against brainwashing girls into thinking that they have to spend there lives waiting for "pince charming" and that "god will give me the right guy".
you are a sentient creature with a deivin soul before you are human and a human before you are a women, because god didn't make gender roles christianity did.
hawkpeltandwildclaw, I agree with you- to a degree. My friend wrote an entire essay on the dangers of dating. I hope you don't mind if I list som of them out for you. Point 1- It highlights the romantic side of a relationship. When you had your first crush, did you have to try to get it, or did it just cme over you? With me, it came slowly, like rain filling a bucket, until that bucket overflowed, and I had myself a mosterous crush. Let me contrast with that first time you let your younger
sibling use a new toy of yours. Did this coem naturally come to you? No, probably not. This is because self-sacrifice and forgiveness do not a natural response- we have to work hard to cultivate them. It is these, not romance, that will hold a marriage together. Instead of practicing the romantic aspects of a relationship, we should be highlighting and practicing the practical side of a relationship, as stated earlier.Romance is important in a marriage, butoutside of marriage, it will distract
us from doing the things that will count later, when we're married. Point 2- it distances the couple frm people able to give accountability. When you go out with someone, you usually spend alot of time with them. The time spent with them must come from somewhere. That means that you will be shrinking the time spent with other people. If you see them at school, you will spend time with them at school. However, you can't pull that time with them from one of your classes when you are supposed to be
paying attention to your teacher and/or books. Where this time must come from is time spent with other friends, unless you have no friends and sit alone during lunch. As you invest more time into the relationship, you will pull time from other relationships, making them weaker. Those other relationship can provide the needed accountability so you won't be as tempted to do something, like have pre-marital sex. Point 3- dating encourages many short-term relationships, instead of a long-term
i find its hard for christian girls these days to be patient and wait for our prince charming to come and take us away. but we need to rely on god and give our hearts to him, and be patient.ive dated befor and i got into a little trouble and i regretted it cuz i didnt even like the guy that much. now i realize i need to be more patient and trust that god will bring me (at the right time) a perfect husband.
Not sure about this. Christians are waiting longer and longer to get married, some can't find anyone at all. It's difficult to meet people in church - unless you hang out in groups, you have to be very forward. Churches tell you to wait for marriage, but don't actively help singles to meet anyone. I'm in my 20s and single men in my church are scarce. Why can't the church do more to get single men through their doors?
I'm waiting untill the Lord gives me that guy. And he's gonna have to be brave since he's going to have to ask permission from most of the men in my family. I'm planning on waiting till my wedding day to kiss! I want to keep myself pure for the Lord!
I was just thinking of getting in touch with a guy from camp from like forever ago, but I've tried to keep in contact a lot and he never e-mail me back. So why should I chase after that boy when God's got one out there for me? THANKS!
-> pricelesslover: I wish the two of you a lifetime of Godly wisdom and blessings. I hope that your husband-to-be will be good to you, and you to him. You both deserve nothing less than God-honoring love and commitment from each other.
I am 18 and I have only had one boyfriend, I didn't even consider dating until I was 18. (it only lasted for two months though, we had 2 many different plans for life) I plan on waiting for my wedding day to kiss.
I believe God has one person (in my case a guy) when the timing is right God will bring him to me and I will know that he is the one. I am 18 and I have only had one boyfriend, I didn't even consider dating until I was 18. (it only lasted for two months though, we had 2 many different plans for life). I plan on waiting for my wedding day to kiss. I belive that all physical contact, with the exception of holding hands, should be kept for your wedding day.
I'm not dating, and I'm in highschool. The song isn't meaning "Don't date in general." It's talking about the girls who have been heartbroken because of jerks, so they're saying "No more." They quit for a while until the time is right.
-> peniguin911: Remember that it's possible to develop strong, close friendships and ties with people of the opposite sex without necessarily jumping into the "romantic" aspects of relationships (I've heard of many relationships that were ruined because people pushed for physical intimacy too soon). Why I bring up physical intimacy is that it quite often accompanies dating (otherwise, stay "best friends"), and while physical intimacy may not always be 'wrong,' it should not be the emphasis.
-> Tekitachan: There's more to this song than just simple "theism." Why, if I may ask, are the others' claims that God has a hand in relationships, wrong or irrelevant?
I agree. It's much better to be friends with someone before you start dating them. But navigating the 'friends into a relationship' part can be tricky. What if one of you wants to be more than friends but the other one doesn't? It's not so easy, because you have to think of your frienship too. I wish someone would write a book about it.
i can understand the whole song (waiting for sex until marriage) except 4 the dating part. You have 2 get to know ur potential spouse. Do you expect for someone 2 just come up 2 u with a wedding ring? im sorry 4 being so down. i just dnt see it. feel free to fill em in.
yes thats right,but u can't just date any one that asks.u have to know who u r dating.I think its ok to date but only u really like them.like them as in u know who they r and like who they r and u wanna see if there is something there.and sometimes u date 2 many ppl and then u meet ur the person your supose 2 marry and then its like"Ive kissed someone before.big woop"and"Ive held hands before big deal"and it gets harder to tell if they r the one.Only date if u r serious about them
Agree (guy here but who cares?) ps one thing lakeyta098 nobody should think that much about getting married (afcourse its something very special) but you shouldn't think thats all sometimes if you feel good about yourself around someone else its already good anough to be just there. Either way one thing important thing keeps having fun and as long you dont have any (believe me i am now going to speak from experience) you can ask yourself the question whats wrong here?
I think the message of this song is misleading to a lot of people. Barlowgirl make it sound like dating is 'wrong' or one date should equal a marriage proposal. You can't go on group dates forever, and if you are in love then you won't want to. At some point you'll want to see if you have a connection. No guy is ever gonna give you a ring before asking you out and going on dates with you, that's for sure!
-> WarriorGurl23: The thing about dating is that (as I understand it) it seems to push people into intimate relationships (not necessarily 'intimate' in that sort of way, but perhaps in that direction, if that makes sense). I would rather cultivate a relationship with a close friend of the opposite sex and have that grow into a love over the course of years. Sometimes it's not easy to wait, but when a relationship has a strong foundation, it will be more likely to prosper. God bless!
I prayed to God asking for help, because I'm terrible at initiating conversation with people, especially guys, and after 4 months of praying about it, the guy I liked spoke to me and invited me out with him and his friends. I was thankful that I was spared being the initiator of awkward convo, but it could have ended in disaster. I could have lost my chance with him. When it comes to someone special, you might have to let down your guard, or at least be willing to take a chance.
I've never dated, but I have been heartbroken before. A lot of books on Christian dating talk about 'guarding your heart' until the right person comes along, but it's not that easy. I was so determined not to make the same mistake, I was unwilling to do anything, even say hello, to a guy at my church I really liked because I was waiting for God to make it happen. 2 years passed and we were like 2 strangers. By this time, I realised that maybe I would have to step out of my comfort zone. (cont)
There are loads of books on Christian dating and loads of different opinions. The Bible doesn't actually give any specific rules about dating because dating didn't exist back then. Girls were just given over to men in marriage for a herd of goats or whatever.By all means look to couples like Adam and Eve for relationship inspiration, if it helps you. You can read books about it, but the only way you can know is if you ask God. Sometimes His plans are bigger than we understand at the time.
I'm curious,how exactly do u find the man God wants u2 marry if u don't date them?Just hang out in groups4 a while and then get engaged?What if once u get married& actually spend time 1on1 he's a totally different person?That happens alot.Being pure& innocent is completely different4 everyone and different with each person and thier relationship with God. Who's 2 say ur going2 have your heart broken?Alot of people end on good terms & then walked away with alot learned from that relationship
Okay I get where people would get defensive of questioning this song because u believe in waiting because God has the perfect man picked out for u, which is awesome, but that's u. Everyone is different and God has a different plan for everyone.Ya,u can find out characteristics in ur future husband that u seek through your friends but sometimes u need2 date someone2 really truly find out what traits in someone u seek 2 have in the person your going to spend the rest of you life with.
Well, I repeat. Did God give Adam Eve or did Adam start looking for Eve?
The traits you want in someone can be found through the Bible, like I said there are whole books and chapters talking about this.
Yes, God has a different plan for everyone. But he still wants us to be pure and innocent, having our hearts broken through dating does not mean we are pure and innocent. Body and mind and heart, thats what he wants.
i think dating is for finding out what you like in your future spouse. for example one boyfriend could teach you that you like a sense of humor, or someone who likes sports or something. God knows who you're going to marry but until then, dating could teach you how to treat your future husband to strengthen your relationship.
Friends can teach the same thing. And God has many other lessons that can do that, it's in something called the Bible. There are whole books and chapters telling how you treat your one day husband/wife.
Here's a question: Did Adam go off searching for a wife or did God give one too him?
Another: Did Mary go off and find a husband or did God give her Joseph?
Now, if you say times have changed that's not true. If it were, then we wouldn't even read the Bible. It's all current my friend.
you're absolutely right. i just reread my comment and it didn't really make sense. thanks for your view on that! i guess i was trying to say that too often people rush into marriage because they think they found the one for them and didn't really get to know all of them. when you take your time God will reveal to you who you truly are meant to be with.
It's ok, I get alot of people saying the exact same things and even then some people just don't understand. I'm glad that you figured it out, there a few books that you might enjoy read. But my cruddy brain can't remember names. I think one is say goodbye to dating, not sure. But my mom read them and tuaght us to grow up like that, when I heard about the barlowgirls it just made my day.
I've gone through many of the comments and I'm sad. They don't seem to realize what they are saying. I'm not dating nor will I ever, if we gave God our life we should give Him ALL OF IT. Even our love life. We don't need to date to find the perfect someone, my mom dated and ended up in a bad situation. I'm not saying that will always happen, but God want's our hearts pure. Innocent, in every aspect. Wouldn't it be wonderfull, if the first man you kissed was on your wedding day?
hey, "avuyir", if your so intent on convincing people that Jesus doesnt love us, why are you listening to a christian song? im sorry that u feel like you have to discourage others, but for what its worth, im glad you heard it anyway, and i hope that God speaks to you through another song=]
haha i saw them last night in the moncton calacium hehe adn the drummer gave me her drum sticks backstage he he i love her !!!!!!! and i got a t-shirt and a gitar pick yay me
I love this song, I saw them sing it live and it really impacted me. I waited and my Prince Charming came. it's a good song, and you learn for it. Don't sell your heart to the first guy who comes along.. WAIT!!!
hey, ummm perfectroyal, why is that your username?? im totally curious!!!
for all those who are confused bout this song, it is talking about how God will write your story for you, you don't have to worry, cuz if you listen to him, everything will turn out ok....... :) loooove this song!!!
hey,sorry for writing you late,dont check comments often.but to your question,i got the name out the bible,when it was saying we are a royal priesthood,so sense God is perfect,we should be a perfect royal priesthood in a greatly spiritual way.
and thanks for telling people about the song, on what it means,i been telling people left and right.
I like the spirit of the song. But the actual song lyrics (the ones I can make out)might be seen as encouraging girls to be passive when it comes to finding Mr Right, and I don't think that's a good way to live for anyone. I think we must be active in cooperating with God to make things happen in our lives. But the message about being chaste is certainly "good news". Barlow girls rock.
I think there's a lot of conflicting messages about waiting for the one which is confusing. What if the prince doesn't come? But then, sometimes you have to wait to find the right person. Some Christians disagree with the idea of waiting, they think you should take a more active role in looking for someone. But then, if God can do anything, surely He can direct the right person your way at the right time? Does anyone else have any thoughts about this?
I understand what you're saying and I respect your opinion, but I've gotta say that I have made so many mistakes when I've just gone out and done something, even after praying about it and thinking it was right. Once I met someone I felt sure was 'The One', and went about pursuing him. I was mad about him, prayed non-stop, and even my mum told me to 'go for it'. So I did. I thought I was doing the right thing. But I was wrong. He had a girlfriend I didn't know about, and I was heartbroken.
O, I really feel for you. My 3 points below are a bit simplistic.I don't think we should 'persue' anyone without them persuing us to a similar degree.I think we need to 'test' the person to see if the desire is recipricol. God says "Test everything and hold fast to what is good." (1 Thess5:21).
Forming a strictly non-romantic friendship with the person for several months is a good way to test the sincerity of their interest in you as a person.So two imprtant ingredients are TIME and TESTING.
i'm a cristian but i don't like people saying that i think i'm perfect bcuz nobody is i don't care what religion you are i have goth friends and catholics and a lot more so shut up and stop talking about me being perfect
thanks for apologizing for saying those words,but be carefull next time God would'nt want you to say'em including the H*ll word.but be encourage/and be and stay with Christ
this song helps me this being my time in need of encoragement becuase no guy in my whole school like mes they all think i'm ugly and fat and i'm nerd hmph video idea!
you know, i bet that theres a guy in ur school that doesnt really think that but just doesnt want to show it, but if hes being rude and mean to you, he's not worth it anyway and you desrve better
WHO CARES WHAT RELIGON YOU ARE???? thats NOT the point of this song! its a great message to all girls saying that you dont have to go date around or be easy, that if you want Mr. Right, then al you have to do is wait and it will happen naturally. quit fighting about which religion is a discrace to the other and jsut enjoy the song!
Exactly! This song is just to help girls see that Mr. Right is out there for them. Just because they are Chrisitan doesn't mean anything. Just freakin ejoy the lyrics and song, lol.
y do ppl click on christian music n' they start an argument 'bout da music when they know they disagree w/ the message being sent but yet they listen to it n' comment it. What's up with that? I'm christian but if i wasn't i wouldn't really bother.
yeah, but most of the time they want to know about the Lord. So, try not to start something and pray about it and just tell them about Jesus while you have a chance. You never know what will happen!

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow, this song is terrible. I couldn't even finish it. It makes me glad I practice Islam. It sickens me to see how many Americans are brainwashed. Stop talking to your imaginary friend! PRAISE ALLAH.
I disagree on your comment. Everyone should have the right to choose their own "representation of God" without being judged by others. Because in the end, the "Universal God", that force, energy, and whatever you'd like to call it, that created all that we know today, is the same for all, even if they don't realize it. It all about human "interpretation". Remember, God didn't write any of the religious books, man did...
Everyone has their own opinion of religon......if you don't believe in God and u aren't a Christian or any other God believing religon then why did u bother to click on this song if u knew that it was Christian music????? Ask Allah THAT!!
I am not trashing ur religon but seriously u sure r trashing ours 4 no reason...
im islamic too, but even I don't act like this. THEY didn't do anything, it was other people. Don't blame the whole entire relgion. THere are things Islams did wrong, but still, I wouldn't say it because I am higher than that. I don't need to put a relgigion down or start something, so not worth it. Even on the internet. Just plain sad.
i dont care what your religion is all people are still human beings and no one has the right to be trashed. people from all faiths can be realyl nice people, and same goes for being rude people. thanks for posting that great comment
i thnk that's because as christians we're not supposed to say that our religion is better and that other religions aren't as good as ours...cuz in saying that it's like saying all christianity is another religion that we have but it's really a relationship
Allah isn't someone's god. Allah is islamic for GOD. It's not just A god in general. Yes, I love Muhammed, but he wouldn't like how you hate Christians. That's just messed.
i think you shouldn't just wait for the right person because so many people get divorced because the sex is so bad once they get married. you need the practice!
but then how would you know if its bad? i mean, cuz ud still be a virgin? i mean, if u dont have sex till ur married, then wat would you compare it to once you do, or how could you say "its bad" ??
Sometimes life is more complicated than the song is suggesting. God doesn't just drop the perfect guy outside your doorstep with a label that says 'As promised, here is your true love, the man you're meant to marry! Love always, God.' I've been waiting for years, I'm in love with someone who's a Christian like me, and who's amazing, but he's mostly ignored me. I just keep praying to God that I'll be strong until I find that person He has for me.
how are you supposed to find the right guy if you don't date. no doubt about it i've always been a fan and always will i've just been wondering this for a lond time.
OMG I love this song & video so much!!!! I saw them in concert and they played this song!!! Thx so much and may the lord's love and his son be with you!
I my life is just like this song i hav e commited my life to god and not chasing after guys because i know that god has that special person for me waiting just for me and that i may be caled wierd by my peers but when i get older and i can say that i waited for the right person it will all be woth it
i'm definately not religous. i'm 18 and pregnant. and i love this song because who cares if you look for guys? honestly its not that bad of a thing...
i like the song. but you cant just wait. you have to do more than that. yes there is someone perfect for you but you cant just sit around. you have to meet him somehow right? i like the song and i'm not trying to put it down i'm just saying...
epic lulz at the 3 thumbs down i got from some losers. and its not a christian song to me, at least. things can be taken diffrent ways. to this its more of a independent female song than a christian song. but meh, maybe its just me.
I don't understand how you can't think that it is a Christian song. It's saying that you don't have to go looking for boys, God has prepared one for you for the right time and God is there for you in the meantime.
Ummm, osakas, I don't know how to put it but, this is a Christian song. Barlow is a hardcore, all-girl, Christian band. When the song mentions God, it's not a figure of speech.
I didn't wait, I back slid away from God and have done so many things that I couldn't have, and I regret every single one of them, especially turning my back on the one who saved me in the first place. I wish I had waited and I can only hope God forgives me.
i believe that this song is true i dont chase after boys anyway and i rather have them chasing because us girls need to have something better to then study boys.....im waiting for my prince and ive almost found him i think....
great video. my teacher was talking about that w/ the girls in her class. how we are not valuable just because we have a boy attached to us. she said she wasted time trying to have a boyfriend when she was growing up. it is really true.
thank's everyone for your comments,i know that God is glad that you're made a choice to stay with Christ,then to stay with men society world.but to wait on God!
Every time i feel down about guys or having troubles with the ones in the past. I listen to this song and it builds me up(: I thank God for this message..

i can understand the whole song (waiting for sex until marriage) except 4 the dating part. You have 2 get to know ur potential spouse. Do you expect for someone 2 just come up 2 u with a wedding ring? im sorry 4 being so down. i just dnt see it. feel free to fill em in.
WarriorGurl23 3 years ago
yes thats right,but u can't just date any one that asks.u have to know who u r dating.I think its ok to date but only u really like them.like them as in u know who they r and like who they r and u wanna see if there is something there.and sometimes u date 2 many ppl and then u meet ur the person your supose 2 marry and then its like"Ive kissed someone before.big woop"and"Ive held hands before big deal"and it gets harder to tell if they r the one.Only date if u r serious about them
GOD BLESS!^.~

Agree (guy here but who cares?) ps one thing lakeyta098 nobody should think that much about getting married (afcourse its something very special) but you shouldn't think thats all sometimes if you feel good about yourself around someone else its already good anough to be just there. Either way one thing important thing keeps having fun and as long you dont have any (believe me i am now going to speak from experience) you can ask yourself the question whats wrong here?

I think the message of this song is misleading to a lot of people. Barlowgirl make it sound like dating is 'wrong' or one date should equal a marriage proposal. You can't go on group dates forever, and if you are in love then you won't want to. At some point you'll want to see if you have a connection. No guy is ever gonna give you a ring before asking you out and going on dates with you, that's for sure!
sawyerlovesfreckles 3 years ago
-> WarriorGurl23: The thing about dating is that (as I understand it) it seems to push people into intimate relationships (not necessarily 'intimate' in that sort of way, but perhaps in that direction, if that makes sense). I would rather cultivate a relationship with a close friend of the opposite sex and have that grow into a love over the course of years. Sometimes it's not easy to wait, but when a relationship has a strong foundation, it will be more likely to prosper. God bless!

rebeccaiscool4 3 years ago
I prayed to God asking for help, because I'm terrible at initiating conversation with people, especially guys, and after 4 months of praying about it, the guy I liked spoke to me and invited me out with him and his friends. I was thankful that I was spared being the initiator of awkward convo, but it could have ended in disaster. I could have lost my chance with him. When it comes to someone special, you might have to let down your guard, or at least be willing to take a chance.
sawyerlovesfreckles 3 years ago
I've never dated, but I have been heartbroken before. A lot of books on Christian dating talk about 'guarding your heart' until the right person comes along, but it's not that easy. I was so determined not to make the same mistake, I was unwilling to do anything, even say hello, to a guy at my church I really liked because I was waiting for God to make it happen. 2 years passed and we were like 2 strangers. By this time, I realised that maybe I would have to step out of my comfort zone. (cont)
sawyerlovesfreckles 3 years ago
There are loads of books on Christian dating and loads of different opinions. The Bible doesn't actually give any specific rules about dating because dating didn't exist back then. Girls were just given over to men in marriage for a herd of goats or whatever.By all means look to couples like Adam and Eve for relationship inspiration, if it helps you. You can read books about it, but the only way you can know is if you ask God. Sometimes His plans are bigger than we understand at the time.
sawyerlovesfreckles 3 years ago
I'm curious,how exactly do u find the man God wants u2 marry if u don't date them?Just hang out in groups4 a while and then get engaged?What if once u get married& actually spend time 1on1 he's a totally different person?That happens alot.Being pure& innocent is completely different4 everyone and different with each person and thier relationship with God. Who's 2 say ur going2 have your heart broken?Alot of people end on good terms & then walked away with alot learned from that relationship
yesamay 3 years ago
Okay I get where people would get defensive of questioning this song because u believe in waiting because God has the perfect man picked out for u, which is awesome, but that's u. Everyone is different and God has a different plan for everyone.Ya,u can find out characteristics in ur future husband that u seek through your friends but sometimes u need2 date someone2 really truly find out what traits in someone u seek 2 have in the person your going to spend the rest of you life with.
yesamay 3 years ago
Well, I repeat. Did God give Adam Eve or did Adam start looking for Eve?
The traits you want in someone can be found through the Bible, like I said there are whole books and chapters talking about this.
Yes, God has a different plan for everyone. But he still wants us to be pure and innocent, having our hearts broken through dating does not mean we are pure and innocent. Body and mind and heart, thats what he wants.

what's the point in dating if you know that God is going to send you the perfect man and he already knows who it is.
I love the part where it goes
boys are bad that's certainly not true because God is preparing one for you.
that goes with what i was saying up their.
emilynJB4ever 3 years ago
this is just what i think:
i think dating is for finding out what you like in your future spouse. for example one boyfriend could teach you that you like a sense of humor, or someone who likes sports or something. God knows who you're going to marry but until then, dating could teach you how to treat your future husband to strengthen your relationship.
MilaceProductionsCo 3 years ago
Friends can teach the same thing. And God has many other lessons that can do that, it's in something called the Bible. There are whole books and chapters telling how you treat your one day husband/wife.
Here's a question: Did Adam go off searching for a wife or did God give one too him?
Another: Did Mary go off and find a husband or did God give her Joseph?
Now, if you say times have changed that's not true. If it were, then we wouldn't even read the Bible. It's all current my friend.
HelpmeIbored 3 years ago
you're absolutely right. i just reread my comment and it didn't really make sense. thanks for your view on that! i guess i was trying to say that too often people rush into marriage because they think they found the one for them and didn't really get to know all of them. when you take your time God will reveal to you who you truly are meant to be with.
MilaceProductionsCo 3 years ago
It's ok, I get alot of people saying the exact same things and even then some people just don't understand. I'm glad that you figured it out, there a few books that you might enjoy read. But my cruddy brain can't remember names. I think one is say goodbye to dating, not sure. But my mom read them and tuaght us to grow up like that, when I heard about the barlowgirls it just made my day.

I've gone through many of the comments and I'm sad. They don't seem to realize what they are saying. I'm not dating nor will I ever, if we gave God our life we should give Him ALL OF IT. Even our love life. We don't need to date to find the perfect someone, my mom dated and ended up in a bad situation. I'm not saying that will always happen, but God want's our hearts pure. Innocent, in every aspect. Wouldn't it be wonderfull, if the first man you kissed was on your wedding day?

I like the spirit of the song. But the actual song lyrics (the ones I can make out)might be seen as encouraging girls to be passive when it comes to finding Mr Right, and I don't think that's a good way to live for anyone. I think we must be active in cooperating with God to make things happen in our lives. But the message about being chaste is certainly "good news". Barlow girls rock.
AnthonyBlunt 3 years ago
I think there's a lot of conflicting messages about waiting for the one which is confusing. What if the prince doesn't come? But then, sometimes you have to wait to find the right person. Some Christians disagree with the idea of waiting, they think you should take a more active role in looking for someone. But then, if God can do anything, surely He can direct the right person your way at the right time? Does anyone else have any thoughts about this?
sawyerlovesfreckles 3 years ago
Well, I think we must be active in cooperating with God to make things happen in our lives. So:
1 Pray
2 Go out and do it.
3 While your doing it, check that it is really what God wants and doesn't violate his spirit.
AnthonyBlunt 3 years ago
I understand what you're saying and I respect your opinion, but I've gotta say that I have made so many mistakes when I've just gone out and done something, even after praying about it and thinking it was right. Once I met someone I felt sure was 'The One', and went about pursuing him. I was mad about him, prayed non-stop, and even my mum told me to 'go for it'. So I did. I thought I was doing the right thing. But I was wrong. He had a girlfriend I didn't know about, and I was heartbroken.
sawyerlovesfreckles 3 years ago
O, I really feel for you. My 3 points below are a bit simplistic.I don't think we should 'persue' anyone without them persuing us to a similar degree.I think we need to 'test' the person to see if the desire is recipricol. God says "Test everything and hold fast to what is good." (1 Thess5:21).
Forming a strictly non-romantic friendship with the person for several months is a good way to test the sincerity of their interest in you as a person.So two imprtant ingredients are TIME and TESTING.

I disagree on your comment. Everyone should have the right to choose their own "representation of God" without being judged by others. Because in the end, the "Universal God", that force, energy, and whatever you'd like to call it, that created all that we know today, is the same for all, even if they don't realize it. It all about human "interpretation". Remember, God didn't write any of the religious books, man did...

Sometimes life is more complicated than the song is suggesting. God doesn't just drop the perfect guy outside your doorstep with a label that says 'As promised, here is your true love, the man you're meant to marry! Love always, God.' I've been waiting for years, I'm in love with someone who's a Christian like me, and who's amazing, but he's mostly ignored me. I just keep praying to God that I'll be strong until I find that person He has for me.
