Every relationship is an opportunity to model
Christ’s love.
- We must practice God’s love as God defines
it – sincere, a servants heart, and selfless – not the world’s brand of selfish
and sensual love based on what feels good.
Unmarried years are a gift from GOD
- Short –term relationships potentially rob
our flexibility, freedom and focus of singleness. As single, you have the
freedom right now to explore. As a student, study and tackle the world. There’s
no other time in your life that will offer these chances.
No need to pursue a romantic relationship
before you are ready for marriage
- God has made each of us with the desire of
intimacy and he intends to fulfill it while we are single
He doesn't expect these longings to disappear, but I believe He asks
us to have patience to wait. Seek close relationship with family and deep
non-romantic relationships with brothers and sisters in the Lord.
You cannot “own” someone outside marriage
- In God’s eyes two married people become one.
We have no right to treat anyone as if he or she belongs to us. If God wants
you to be together in the future, He will give both what’s best for the two of
you. Ask God to show whether you need to re-evaluate a current relationship.
Avoid situation that could compromise the
purity of body and mind.
- Honestly, examine your relationship to
others. Let us see purity consist of more than remaining a virgin. Where, when
and whom you choose to spend your time reveals your true commitment to purity.
Make sure that you avoid placing yourself in settings that encourage temptations.
God- fashioned life: - embrace a revolutionary pattern of living.
Life leaves no room for pettiness, insincerity, wasted time or selfishness. He
commanded us to “Throw off everything that hinders” and “run with
perseverance the race marked out for us.” (Hebrews 12:1) Pursue
God’s terms and His time. God asks us to put our romantic ambitions in all
these things pile that we must leave behind so we can “Seek first
his kingdom and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). SEEK GOD
WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
