In your Godly relationship, if the person
you are dating is truly of God. They to will be looking out for their
relationship, finding the right one and being extra careful not to sin. At this
point in your relationship you have been going out for a few months or possibly
just about a year or more. You need to prove that you are of God, not only to
God but to your partner and even to yourself. “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test
yourselves…” 2 Corinthians 13:5.What do I mean by this? I mean, do all that you possibly can to show that you are serious about making this relationship work. Continue doing what you did to get this person. Don’t stop being spiritual because you already got what you wanted. It’s not all over yet!
Seek the Holy Spirit with all your heart.
Regardless to whether you have the Holy Spirit or not. Continue to seek His
presence, you need Him so much. Especially at this time in your life which is
so critical. You want to succeed and do your part in this relationship without
sinning. So seek, seek, seek and seek. “Ask
and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be
opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to
him who knocks it will be opened.” Matthew 7: 7-8. Read your bible
daily, meditate on His word. In general give your time and effort to God so
that He can help you to overcome your flesh.
Go to church as much as you can, be firm in
the church, do as much as you can. Ask your pastor what you can do to help or
what is needed. This proves to God that you are ready, that you
are willing to do anything for Him to help and strengthen you both
Physically/Spiritually and in this relationship. Give your time, energy, love
and strength to God. Put Him above anyone. Put Him above your partner. Again
PUT HIM ABOVE YOUR PARTNER. This is very important. Many times couples instead of putting God first, they
put their partner first and that is completely wrong. It (The Relationship) won’t
in any way work. How could it? God is the one that needs to be put first; not
another human.
How to put God first:
- By giving Him most of your time, energy and love.
- If you are planning to go out with
your partner, or speak to him/her on the phone before you have read the
bible and seek the Holy Spirit for the day. Hold off on speaking or
going out until you have done your daily part with God.
- Putting God first is your most important step. Instead of doing something for your partner, do something for God first. Before going out and speaking to your partner on the phone telling him/her how much you love them. First get on your hands and knees and thank God for what He has done for you. Tell Him how much you love Him. As is written our God is a jealous God. ” For I, the Lord your God am a jealous God…” Exodus 20:5.
