Dating In Black & White: Boundaries, Sex & Reality

DAY 5 OF 5

  

God, Is This The One?

How do I know if this is the right person for me? 

When will I know it? 

What is knowing suppose to feel like? 

We always tell people, “Whoever you marry, then that’s the ‘right one’ for you.” You might say, “But what if I married the wrong person?” Then our response to you would be, “Then why did you date the wrong person?”

Hopefully this Dating In Black & White devotional will help you stay clear of that situation.

Dating should no doubt increase your prayer life. You will find yourself talking to God a lot about the person you are dating and looking for answers and signs to point you in the right direction. 

Over the years of talking to singles, here are some memorable and quite hilarious signs that singles were seeking from God. 

1. God, if this is the right one for me, then let them wear a blue shirt to church today. 

2. God, if I’m supposed to be with them, then let my mom call me out of nowhere and say, “I just made a cherry pie.”

3. God, if this is the wrong person for me then let my dog speak to me and tell me. (That’s usually when they don’t want to chance God telling them it’s the wrong person for them.)

No matter who you are in relationship with, you’ll want to know whether or not this is a good person for you. 

In the beginning of a dating relationship, you’re fine just knowing that you are not with a serial killer or a stalker. When the relationship begins to make progress, you will want to know more. Keep in mind that you may never be one hundred percent sure of anything. That’s the thing about relationships—there is no guarantee when it comes to dating.

However, you don’t want to spend years of your life investing into the wrong person. This is why it’s so important follow a healthy strategy and plan that allows the two of you to safely explore the opportunity of what the relationship could turn into. It could lead to marriage, or it could lead to the two of you coming to a peaceful agreement that it’s time to end the relationship and move on with your lives.

Whatever the end result, you will be so glad and thankful that you had a plan in place for dating.
