Dating, when we say this word people think of many different things. One that not a whole lot of people think about is, well it’s more of a name, God. God is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about dating. It was not always this way. In fact for a long time I put dating before God. My second year of high school it was my life goal to get a date. I thought that being with someone would make life better, I would not feel so alone. I was looking for someone to, “complete me.”
A year went by and no date, but not for lack of trying. I had my friends ask all the girls for me and all them said no thanks in their own words. I was so upset that I said that dating was stupid so I stopped looking for a date, or so I thought. It was not until this year I realized I was still looking for a relationship; it was just no longer my life goal. This year I’ve been trying to put God first in my life and I was doing okay, until dating came back up. I began to revert back to some old habits. It was so hard for me to try and put God first, it felt like I cutting my foot off, but I did it – put God first not cut off my foot. God has begun to work inside me so that when the hard things in life come up I know how to ask him for his help. I’m not saying dating is a bad thing; in fact it is great, if you can do it in a way that is pleasing to God. Your heart should be focused on God first, but that does mean you can’t date. I once heard someone say that, “A girl’s heart should be so focused on God that to get to her heart you had to go through him.” This is exactly how it should be and same thing goes for guys. Dating and God can be hard for some people to understand but once you finally figure it out it can be something beautiful. So the next time you think about dating I hope one of the many things that pops into your head is God.
1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
