When there is mutual interest, mutual commitment, and a mutual willingness to move the relationship forward at a healthy pace, these are strong indications God does want you with this person. Relationships are a unique place in life where the spiritual and practical combine and are constantly intermingling.
One of the ways to know if God has sent you the one, is if they are leading you straight back to Christ. The person God is leading you to will be constantly seeking your best interest and never ask you to compromise on your beliefs or standards.
So the first possible reason God is allowing you to think about someone is because God allows you to think about whatever you want. Your thoughts about this person might not mean anything other than that you are choosing to think about this person.
God doesn't give us our feelings; but we are wise to give our feelings to God. We see the psalmist doing this over and over in the book of Psalms. He pours out his feelings to God, and then he holds his feelings up to the truth of who God is and compares the two.
God was concerned about where their hearts were in relationship with him, and he might test them along the way to reveal the answer. “Do you love me with all your heart?” This is the question God asked the Israelites thousands of years ago.
You will know when God is behind a relationship or when Satan is behind a relationship based upon how this relationship is affecting your connection to Christ. If you feel more and more distant from God the closer you get with this person, this is a sign God does not want you in this relationship.
God Will Reveal Your Spouse In the Right Environment.
The right environment means being around the right people and spending time in the right places. Why is this important? Because God requires in 2 Corinthians 6:14 that we be equally yoked with in our relationships.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
The Good News: The Bible keeps it simple: Love one another and be kind. Marriage wasn't meant to be difficult. "Then the Lord God said, 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him. '"
There is no 11th commandment that says “Thou shalt not have a crush.” And while we know that God's standard for our purity is that there not be even a hint of sexual sin (Ephesians 5:3), this can be difficult to define when it comes to our thought life.
The average American man knows after seven months of dating if his partner is “the one,” according to new research. A survey of 2,000 engaged and married American men revealed that 49% of men who popped the question received little hints from their partner encouraging the proposal.
One reasons God removes people from our lives is when these people are getting in the way of our connection with Christ. Our hearts are always looking for help. When we have a bad day, a bad week, a bad month, or even a bad year, our hearts crave something from the outside to come in and make us happy.
The Bible more often portrays God's voice as sounding ordinary and meek than as booming and thunderous.
If you know you would run from God and be angry if he never answered this prayer request, that means your heart is not ready to receive it. But if you are truly willing to serve God and love him fully even if he never gives you the thing you are asking him for, this is a great sign you are being prepared to receive it.
If he is willing to sacrifice or lay down his life for you, then he loves you like Christ. If he says he loves you but doesn't put this love into action, then he may not be the one God has for you. God shows us what true love is, and if a guy doesn't love you like Christ loves you, it may not be love at all.
We are made for relationships with God himself and also with other people. God says, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner” (Gen. 2:18).
God instituted the union of marriage that the two should become “one flesh” and not separate. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4 to 6; Ephesians 5:31.) The marriage bond was designed by God to be permanent and yet that connection is often far from what God intended. Believers.
1. Matthew 6:33 “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” As a wife in waiting, you need to be in prayer that your future husband is, above everything else, seeking Christ and His Kingdom FIRST in his life.
