Though time and society changes, God and your own worth stay the same

After my divorce, I made the decision to not date. I prayed, “Father, put me on a shelf and take me off only when you see fit.” I did not want to be a serial dater, that’s not my thing. My desire was to be in a place in Christ where when that set time came and God brought me my Boaz, / Adam, I would be discerning enough to choose correctly.

Several years went by, during that time my focus on growing in God and raising my son. Only recently, I have begun my re-experience with dating. There is an education that one receives when not having dating in a while. 15 years + later, society and its values have changed drastically.

Though time and society changes, God and your own worth stay the same. I want to encourage those who are dating to trust God. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. The more time you spend with God, the more you learn about His character. God is faithful, dependable, loving, patience, wise, a provider, forgiving, merciful, and more. The list goes on. God is awesome! There is no one like Him! It’s from those traits that you look for in a mate. Being a very new Christian when I first married, I did not give myself time to as they say “finishing backing in the oven first.” Preparations is so key in life. We prepare for everything else, but often fail to plan for dating, relationships, or marriage. Take time to know God for yourself and let Him also reveal to you who you are. A Woman or man who know who they are in Christ , their true worth, and their destiny makes wiser choices in every area of their life; including choosing a life-long mate.

As we get older, the enemy attempts to tricks us into settling hoping to detour us form our purpose and destiny. As I said in my introduction on this blog, this blog is about heart felt truth and encouragement. I am a Christian woman who loves God and desires to please God. However, just as satan can whisper in my ear to settle, he can whisper in yours too.

You may find yourself in a situation where you have let satan whisper in your ear too long and now find you have settled for “Mr. Right Now”, instead of waiting on “Mr. God’s Best”. No condemnation. I have done the same. Lesson learned. Dust yourself and keep moving.

We have to be wiling to let go of a dead thing, to receive what God has for us. Some of us had heard that still small voice saying, "Let that man go". But, we hold on for fear of being alone. Be obedient and let go of the “Mr. Right Now” who you know is not right for you. Instead, trust God and watch Him send “Mr. God’s Best” in due season.

Don't believe lies from the pit of hell that say you're too old; it’s never going happen, and so forth. God does not see you that way and your “Mr. God’s Best” will not either! Trust that God is has saved someone tailored made just for you. Trust that what God has for you is exceedingly above all you can ask or think. That's just how our Daddy Abba Father does it. Isn’t God awesome? ! Don't let a man not worthy of your greatness take up the space for where you coming Boaz/ Adam should be. In the meantime, seek God & become all that God has created you to be. Be Whole. Be secure. Be prepared.
