I heard a story...
I heard a story:
There was a man and a woman who were very much in love and decided to be married...
On the day they were to be married, there was the usual excitment felt and anticipation of the coming nuptials. As the couple stood before the minister to say thier vows, the man felt someone come along side of him and turned to see his last girlfriend and she took his hand. His fiancee looked at him with tears....soon there were more women lined up next to her beloved, all had been former girlfriends..... The man turned to his fiancee, who had tears running down her face, and said to her," I love you. I choose you to be my wife...but I loved them, as well, and each has a piece of my heart....all that I can offer you is what is left...."
Isn't that so contradictory to what the world would say? The world says to date as many as you can so that you will recognize "love" when you see it.....what a lie.
Each failed relationship leaves scars so deep.....
Why not leave the matchmaking to the "Matchmaker", the One who created you, the one who knows your perfect match???? I wish, for my daughters, that there would be a revolution in the church!!! Bigger than "True love waits." How about the young men becoming "champions" for the young women in the church, thier responsibility: to protect them instead of looking at them as potential wives!! And, girls, take this season of singlehood and let God use you. Stop letting the world deceive you into believing that you are incomplete without a man!!
To the church: let's give our young people an alternative to dating. How about courtship?? Sound corny??? Not to me.....
