As I s...Hello Catherine, thanks for the comment. <br /> <br />As I said in the post," If this guy isn't an option right now, than he shouldn't be a struggle either. He shouldn't be treated like an option." I've seen young women who will condone a relationship because they aren't intending on marrying the guy (and when I say relationship, I mean beyond casual friendship). If we already know the man is less than what God has planned for us, we shouldn't continue the relationship. We shouldn't even start one! <br /><br />As I further explain in this post -- "...if you are in a less than good relationship, and you know that it cannot continue, then a decision must be made. Not to decide is a decision. You are choosing to move forward. There is no such thing as being a good friend with a guy who wants to pursue you. He doesn't want to “just be a friend”. Being this man's friend is not an option.This man is either the man God has chosen for you, or he isn't. There isn't an in between..."<br /><br />I hope this answered your question!

It almost sounds like, "We shouldn't enter a relationship unless it's guaranteed to work out."

Compromising, even in our thoughts, is dangerous. The struggles that occur in a young single girl's heart can be complicated; but through Christ, we are given the victory. <br /><br />"For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things." (I John 3:20)<br /><br />He who truly has our hearts...is able also to keep our hearts.

And to realize that even when we do marry one day He will still be our best Lover.... How blessed to know He calls us "Beloved" and will remain faithful to us for eternity.

As an "older" single, I would like to add that sometimes God can bring us to the place (I know He has for me) where I am content simply to belong to Him. That really makes the whole pressure of feeling that tug towards one particular man and giving into the tempation to give him your heart a lot less prevalent. Perhaps it's just part of getting older, or maybe it truly is the "gift of singleness". I know that's not helpful to everybody, but it's just another perspective to do with as you will.Jana-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695337337919124103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459100849457166931.post-41063456636922382982014-07-09T22:01:10.612-07:002014-07-09T22:01:10.612-07:00You are right.

But whether we are men or women, we don't have to give up. The Lord knows! If He has fashioned a priceless godly young woman then He will also provide a godly young man. Lately I have been surrounded by young ladies that are questioning....doubting....crying out... I just hope to encourage.

It is a sober topic...something that has been on my mind since it has been real in my life right now. But of course....I want to admonish in a serious spirit coupled with Christ's love.
