Who invests in something without solid proof of a return on their investment? Even in the natural realm we will call it foolish to buy into a stock on a "just because" mindset. Yet, we choose to invest in fruitless and unproductive relationships on the same "just because" thought process. Are you depositing your love in a pyramid scheme? You know that quick "love." That temporary stuff that looks good at first but heart damaging kind of love? We must be careful with getting into relationships with just anybody even friendships because after the dust settles we are inadvertently risking bitterness and hopelessness to enter into our hearts. Then once broken by that thoughtless encounter, we act as victims saying so and so hurt me, but fail to acknowledge the fact we allowed them to hurt us. I have had my share of failed relationships. I have been a playa as well as being played and if I would of had the Wisdom that God gives me now back then, I would of had less of a mess with my relationships. Even in my salvation, I have dated with my eyes closed and heart open. There were times I listened to God and did not even entertain a date with just anyone and times I disobeyed and went out on meaningless dates that led to meaningless relationships. Dating especially as we get older is serious business. We do not look at it as serious because we are more focus on the Mr/Miss right now. We just don't want to be lonely, or the one who is dateless at all the social gatherings, or not wanting to be alone on the holidays.
Dating is more than just having someone to think about during a love song or someone to update as our significant other on our personal social profiles. He/She is more than a hashtag on Twitter. We need to really be assured that whomever we choose to share our lives with is who God created to do so. By doing so, it will lead to much less casualties of the heart. God invented relationships! That is why it is soo very important to trust Him when waiting on your mate. Of course I am going back to Jesus, but our relationship with Christ is the most important one we will have and if we take care of that one we would not worry as much about who we are suppose to be with. We will be more focused on what He wants us to do and He will send great friends and your mate your way. There are plenty of great people who could fit the profile of your wife/ husband in your head, but only one can fit your heart. That's why we should be careful and pray. Speaking for me, I use to get and still get guys all the time saying I'm their wife, how much they want to be with me, it is just something about me, and they can't get me out of their mind. If I would have dated all of those guys I would be stone nuts by now because none of them were my Adam, my One, my Rib. It was getting frustrating listening to men tell me all of those things and pursue me so diligently, but I knew my heart was not with them. That door was locked and they did not posses the key. Now, I am blessed with a sample of God's Love for me. I know the difference. It was clear as day. He unlocked my heart with ease. He did not have to break in or bum rush it. He just walked right on in. And that's how Love is. It just happens. It is not forced. Love does not need help, just requires patience. So kings and queens, know that God has your royal partner already prepared. He may want to use you or them individually right now before He brings you together collectively. Whatever the reason may be for Him not bringing you two together yet is definitely a good one because He knows what He is doing better than we do. Be patient, pray, wait, pray, and enjoy your life. Because if you honestly can't enjoy your life without a mate then that may be the reason why God is taking His Time revealing your mate. Just my thoughts.
