I have question for you. Why don’t you wait upon the Lord? Hear me out. I am not saying the Lord can’t bring someone to a person through dating. I am asking you why you have chosen to date instead of waiting for a person, and thereby exposed yourself to the pains of dating?
If you asked the Lord for a spouse, and God would let you know who that specific person is (which He can and does do), why would you subject yourself to the dating process or scene?
I know people will say “waiting upon the Lord” isn’t for everyone, and they will justify their reason for dating because “God doesn’t promise a spouse.” But God does grant the desires of the righteous, and if you have a desire for a spouse, will He not grant it? In His providence, He will. In His timing, He will. This is about trusting in the Lord. Scripture says to delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
So, if God would provide you a spouse by you trusting in His timing and providence, and Him letting you know who it is when you meet the person, why would you subject yourself to dating?
I do not think those that wait upon the Lord are any better than you. Rather, I am saddened to see people, more specifically sisters in Christ, go through heartache and pain, being dishonored, and mistreated. Devalued. They deserve better. You deserve better. I ask, why will you not wait upon the Lord?
Again, I understand it may be different for everybody. However, wouldn’t waiting upon the Lord be the ideal? I mean, not everyone’s ideal as people have preferences on timing and when they want to be with their spouse; where as they want to be with someone today, for God it may be months from now or a year (if not years from now depending upon your age).
If you are still dating, still haven’t found Mr Right or the girl of your dreams, what stops you from now putting a pause on dating, putting your desires before God in prayer, and waiting for Him to bring that person into your life? Is this not realistic for you?
