Guard Your Heart. Part III

Be Yourself. Trust God.

What's the purpose of dating again? To evaluate someone's character if they are compatible to marry. I will say this straightforward, if you think that you could not marry the person you are dating right now, you have absolutely no reason to be dating them.

Here is the problem with dating in the Western culture, people set themselves in such a way to represent themselves better than they really are, thus ending up to be someone they're not.

GUYS in the house, Don't put up with a girl that is not God's best for you.. The girls who dress provocatively, I believe the hunch I have inside, though I know you notice them, they are not the woman you really wanna spend the rest of your lives with. Your challenge is to find Proverbs 31 lady (to be featured in my next next blog)

GIRLS, Don't waste your time dating some dude that is not a man of GOD.

I am always asked this question, Is it okay to date non-Christians? TAKE 2 Corinthians 6:14

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

It's interesting that Paul did not use marriage in this context, (Do not marry an unbeliever) He actually went broader in his metaphor because he know that when we are in a dating relationship or even just starting to court someone, it will be hard if you start down that road to be able to stop before you get married.

YOKE. In my weirdtionary, the idea of being yoked is joining of two animals with a harness or anchor that will cross their napes and what that simply means is that they will be walking together in unison. That implies that if you have a weak one and one that is really strong, the strong one will drag the weak one and eventually be fatigued. The strong one will become weak because it is aligned with a weak beast/ox.

People. Get this. You shouldn't be dating someone who doesn't know Jesus. This is pretty strong,and I know this is happening, I don't believe in missionary dating, the concept of flirt and convert.

TRUST GOD on this one, this is not what some dude says, this is the WORD of GOD. And I don't think it is God's will for you to disobey one of his commands just to lead one person to him. God made it clear.. super black and white.
