What are you invested in? Yes, of course financially we may be very knowledgeable on where our money is going. Some have placed money in divers places because that is taught to be the best way to go. The "what if's" of life have us thinking that if this bank fails I can place my money else where so I will not lose all of it. That's great, but somehow that "what if" factor has strolled into the dating scene and our overall life period. God never expects us to date without hopes of it leading to a marital commitment. Moreover, God has no intentions on us having a relationship with Him while still being invested in our old ways and habits. This will be a two parter, but I will try to keep it short and sweet for you guys.
Okay so, the wisest decision when being involved in a relationship is to make sure your investment is sure. Just like with your bank, I'm sure you inquire beforehand where your money is going. Is it a well trusted and safe place, right? Same with the dating scene. The reason many have heartache is because we didn't do the ground work as far as making sure the person we are giving our complete all to is the RIGHT person. He or she may be great, but are they right for you? Does this "bank" meet your requirements, needs, and standards? Is it safe? Not just going off verbal feedback. We won't know who is right for us unless we pray. Okay your family wants you to "bank" with them but what does God say? Because these are your feelings and time being invested, not theirs. Praying requires fellowship. Fellowship requires a relationship. So, if we are serious about God He will be serious about us. We can't be entangled with the world and then use God when we need Him to answer a question or perform a miracle.
Great thing about God is it only requires one investment. Therefore, the relationship He sends your way will only require one investment. No need to have a side chick or a number two. The person He sends will be all you need just like He is all you need. It's #ThankfulThursdays! Be thankful all you need is ONE investment in Christ.
