Baesics: The Devotionalનમૂનો

"Bae-Watch" 

One of the most common questions that comes up when we talk about relationships is, "how do I know that he / she is the ‘one’?" I think we’ve all asked the question of whether someone is our ‘one’ at some point, so today we’re going to be looking at what the Bible says about this, and how to choose your bae wisely!

The Bible has some great news when it comes to knowing whether someone is your ‘one’ – it tells us that God has a far better plan than having just one person in the whole world for us to share our life with. In fact, this idea is really a lie told by the world we live in, encouraged by a society that paints a distorted picture of what love is and what a relationship should look like. God’s plan is far greater! 

Asking the question of whether you are dating the ‘one’ actually comes out of a place of fear; fear of failure that you won’t be able to make your relationship work. God gives us the freedom to choose an appropriate partner for ourselves, and he promises his blessing upon us when we come together in marriage.

The first question I like to ask people when it comes to this topic is ‘how do you think God sees you’? The Bible tells us that, as Christians, God sees us as his son / daughter. In today’s verse, we read that we are members of God’s family. We have been adopted into the ultimate royal family, as princes and princesses of the King of Kings. Now, when it comes to relationships, royalty don’t settle for anything other than royalty. So why would we, as members of God’s royal family, settle for anyone who’s not also in God’s royal family? Just remember, ‘bae ain’t bae if bae don’t pray’!

When it comes to choosing your bae, so long as they love Jesus, you are both ready to date and you both see the relationship as one that will bring glory to God. You can step into that relationship with a confident expectation that it will be fruitful and successful.
