"...you follow Me." John 21:22
"Pray without ceasing" it says in 1 Thessalonians 5.
The Lord leads.

Something to think about:
There's NO WAY to give your heart to a man without opening yourself up to his own beliefs, priorities and convictions (or lack thereof). You might be able to casually date someone who doesn't know Christ (or is much less mature spiritually than you) but any serious relationship that involves love or even affection will certainly put your own faith at risk.

We're th same age and from one sister to another, do not do it. You don't want to settle for a non-Christians. As much as u want to, u don't need to, if a man has no respect for God he will hav no respect for u. A godly woman deserves no Christian and especially no non-Christian, but deserves a godly man who will do and not do things and love u becuz he loves God first. Plz don't settle sister.... Most of all pray and search God's word for ur answer, for His guidance and truth
I've known people who have "missionary dated" and it has always ended in broken hearts for one of the following reasons.
A) Non christian does not convert and the christian ends up leaving because their convictions get the better of them
B) Non Christian does not convert but the christian stays with them and compromises their faith, years later they look back and can't help but wonder what they were thinking
C) Non christian "converts" and makes a good show of it until a few months after the wedding when it becomes clear that their conversion was just a ruse to get the spouse

be careful..."nothing will change my faith" you never know what the future will hold
my personal story:
I was a christian , dated a non-believer, now i am an atheist.
Now it wasn't directly because of our relationship but it planted the seeds of doubt you could say.
I thought I could change her mind (missionary dating) and it did not work out that way.
So my advice is stay friends but be careful forming an emotional attachment with someone with different beliefs because in the end it rarely works out.

I was born and raised in the United states, then moved to a third-world country. Despite the hardships here that are non-existent in the states, I appreciate my time here. I learn whats it like to be on the other side of the Earth. Good for character building skills, see?
Yep, having both sides of the story really does help understand what people are thinking. It helps to foster growth and understanding, things that this world can never get enough of.

Well! I haven't left this third-world you mentioned (I wish I leave it to relocate in the moon or somewhere else) but character and building skills are edified all around this atmosphere.
There in the USA, Cuba, China, Africa (etc) the same personal aspirations are sought for people to enjoy life, as much as it can be get to please this earthy longings. I've only been to Brazil's border, Colombia (5 moths), Cuba and Venezuela, so my scope is very limited to know those non-existent issues you tried to mention, since here (and there) are poor and rich, and both like the same thing, all over this perishing world.
I'm afraid I thought you didn't know there are poor in the USA (and in those nations) who think they belong to the 1st world. The problem is not in the world, but in the people.
Worthy is to say, that I don't believe in the COMMUNISM of Venezuela and Cuba. That I don't believe in humanism, except on the teaching of the Bible (particularly on those Jesus and the OT teach).

Nice to meet you!
I'm talking about...The philippines! The majority of folks are hungry. Starvation and corruption aren't non-existent issues. The authorities in my neighborhood also accept bribes.
And the states isn't prefect. The people here think that everyone in the states is rich, what a crazy assumption!
I guess I agree. The general opinions of the people shape the world in both good and bad ways.
And yes, not doing something that we know we shouldn't do and instead work on something more productive promotes character building skills.
I'm not fond of communism either. I'll stick with the democracy which allows the free-market to dominate. The states suffered economic pressures before, but this is a cycle. It always gets back on it's feet.
