Good afternoon all,
So the emotional purity topics have been hitting home. Many have asked questions and made comments about how the messages have been helpful and encouraging.
Let’s talk about waiting instead of dating. What is dating? Dating is the world’s alternative for courtship. I like to describe dating as “testing the waters…without a defined yes of getting married in the near future (not 5-10 year from now)”. Dating allows you to sample the product. See if you want it. Play with it and send it back. If and when it does not meet all of your standards or there’s it’s time to go. Dating is a easy way to say I am feeling you, “I love you” or I like you but your not worth marrying to me or I am not ready now. If you are not ready, stay out of the kitchen. Dating heightens your chance for divorce as well. When you date and leave you develop low tolerance for staying committed in a relationship. You get used to breaking up. Which is “divorce” without papers.
Courtship says, “I just want what God has for me and I am welling to put in a life time of commitment to obtain what God has”. I personally have decided to “WAIT”. Now let’s not get it twisted more than a couple of brother’s have tried to court me. But I refuse to settle for “less” than what lines up with the promises of God. During my wait God has raised my standards. I don’t fall for the “okey doke” anymore. I almost feel a couple times because of impatience and lust of the eyes.
So today let us wait on the Lord for our mate and everyday remind ourselves. I am waiting because I am worth the wait. Not just sexually but emotionally as well. Dr. Ron Rannikar author of Choosing God’s Best stated, “It takes faith and courage to wait on God, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord’ (Psalm 27:14). Waiting for the Lord means pausing for further instructions…God always saves His best for those who are willing to wait for it” (28-29).
Loving you all,
Christina Faith
