Hey parents!
This week we talked about what it looks like to be "looking" for the right person at the right time. To consider "dating" someone you first have to be running after God with your whole heart and he will at the right time bring someone along side of you.
My view of the situation is that 9 times out of 10 that will not be in high school so there is no real reason to invest time, money, and effort into "looking" for the right person when you are not running toward God yet. Then I gave then some advice when God does allow you to start pursuing a relationship with someone he has brought into your life.
Reason to date: to look for a spouse
What are the 5 things you want in a spouse someday?
Loves God with their whole heart
Has spiritual, moral and physical standards that they live by
I’m attracted to that person in every way
That we treat each other like a prince and princess
That our dreams in life are going in the same direction
Some advice once we are looking
Girls: look for guys that fast because that shows that he can deny himself and is running after God
Watch how he loses because it is him in his truest nature.
Watch how he spends his time and money.
Guys: watch how she talks about others- if she talks about someone behind their back she will do the same with you.
Watch what happens when she doesn't get her way.
Key point for the night: you attract who you are- so start allowing God to mold and shape you and he will bring a person that is trying to run after God that hard as well.
Takeaway: Right out your personal standards and boundaries so you know where you stand before a relationship even starts.
