Dating in a Way That Honors GodSample

Waiting for the right person can be one of the most challenging seasons, especially when the world around you moves at its own pace. Cultural pressures can make the wait feel heavy. However, we see in Scripture that God offers a template for us to follow when we are in the season of waiting. In Genesis, we see that Adam knew his Master, embraced his mission, and then he met his mate. This was not random; I believe it was a blueprint. It's important to note that before Eve came into Adam’s life, he was deeply rooted in his relationship with God.

This truth remains the same today: before a godly relationship can thrive, a godly foundation must be in place. God desires for you to be whole in Him first. Remember, a relationship will not make you whole but rather reveal the holes that are already there. If your heart is still aching for someone to fill a void, only God can meet that need. You must get to the place where He is your ultimate fulfillment, and you are no longer desperate for love.

I want to encourage you to make this the season you seek Him wholeheartedly. Not as a means to an end, but as the One who is truly enough. When your heart is fully satisfied in Christ, you’ll no longer strive for validation in relationships. Instead, your life will reflect the fullness of someone who has already been found—in Him.

Challenge: Spend time today in undistracted prayer. Ask God to reveal any areas where you are seeking love outside of Him.

Let's Pray:
Father, I surrender my longing for a relationship to You. Fill every empty space within me and let me be so deeply rooted in You that no one else can take Your place in my heart. Help me trust Your timing and embrace this season as one of preparation, not frustration. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
