Godly Relationships

God plays a huge role in my life. I know that without him in my life nothing can go right if he's not in the mix. I've tried life without him, and I completely suck. I've been in many relationships where God wasn't fully in the mix, and I allowed my emotions to be the reason I stayed. I was settling for what God didn't intend for me. God had different plans for me, and he was making massive changes in my life. I was losing friends that I would usually hang with pretty heavily. I was dating guys who weren't very Christ-like, and God would immediately show me why I didn't need to entertain that. Sometimes I would ignore the signs that were being given, and the Holy Spirit would give me some conviction which, I'm so thankful for because I could have been in some real bad situations. Each time I was shown why God needed to be the center of any relationship that I had. Even just having spirit led friends it such a big different because they are motivating me to do positive things and still keep Christ involved. You can feel so much more love from others who are Spirit-led. That's why I told myself I would never get into another relationship unless the man trying to pursue was a man of God and wanted Christ to be in the mix of our relationship. God has to be the foundation because he puts things together for our best interest. He will put favor our relationship so that we can face the battles of the world but be STRONG in his word so that "MAN" cannot tear us apart. When God is the sole leader of your relationship, you'll notice the difference of the love you share with your partner in Christ rather than your partner who was in the world. It's crazy because the first time my boyfriend prayed with me we weren't even together, then we were still getting to know each other. When he prayed for us, it brings a different kind of feeling over you. You just feel like "Wow, he doesn't just care about me, but he cares about my soul." That for me is better than any sweet words he could ever say to me. I can't speak for everyone else, but having a relationship with God is one the best decisions in my life. I've been able to say that God has stirred me in the wrong direction. He may tell me "NO" from time to time, but that's still love. So before you seeking a relationship, please pray and ask God to reveal things to you that you may need to change before getting into a relationship. You are going to need someone who will want to worship with you, pray with you, seek Jesus, and more. If you've found someone who knows Christ, and wants to chase God with you, please do not let them go. If you haven't found anyone yet don't worry God is looking out for you and he's preparing you for that someone special.
