Topic: Principles for finding a Christian life partner (Pt2)
Continue from last time
3. Being single can be an important time to prepare you for marriage
It can also be a time to experience a closer communion with God. As you seek God to cleanse you of the world and help you become the kind of wife or husband that would bless someone, you will soon find that you are not lonely
First, the Lord would begin using you to bless others; then you will find you are content in Him. Eventually, in God’s plan and timing, He will bless you with a wonderful mate so that both lives can be a witness for Him
Marriage is the second major choice you make in our lives, and you should never enter into it without much prayer. The worse loneliness one can experience is not single but marries someone who does not feel the same way you feel about the Lord. Singles need to stop believing the “I am missing something” lie and accept the call to obey and serve God with their whole heart, mind, and strength. Marriage may or may not be a part of God’s plan for you so it is time to live the life you have now and trust God for the rest
4. Be careful
Not everyone, where you fall in love is suitable as life partner. This is important to know. If a person is a Christian but has still a problem with drugs or alcohol or promiscuity then be very careful. If they are constantly in financial trouble or always quitting their jobs be careful. Things like eating disorders, very low self-esteem and the need to control people can be a great problem in a marriage
If they are believers then God is working in their lives and there is hope but some believers are not yet ready for responsibility. Some may be barely believer and not really committed to long term change. I am not saying don’t marry them, think very hard before you do. and to prove themselves before you tie the knot
I Pray, God will order your steep to the Right partner
