Good evenin' y'all!
This weekend I went to see a movie with my momma. We don't get out too often, but decided to treat ourselves to day off, and watched He's Just Not That Into You. She and I were both very disappointed! As you probably know the movie follows people who were either looking for someone to love or were in a relationship. It is really sad to think that people believe that they can find their soul mate by dating.
Let me tell you guys, that is NOT the way God would have wanted it. God doesn't want us dressing up all fancy and polishing our belt buckles to go to dinner with a guy until suddenly, we find The One. I think he would want us to be pursed by a guy through courtship, like they did in the Bible. A guy shouldn't call a girl before he talks to her dad and asks if he can court her. The guy and gal should be friends first! They should never be alone together as this only creates temptations. They should be friends, and ask each other what they are looking for in a spouse.
People in that movie were dating when they weren't ready to be married. Why else would you date? There is no point unless you want to settle down and have a family, right? The guys and gals in that movie were reckless, they gave themselves away to people who didn't really care about them. One of them even LIVED with her boyfriend of seven years before they got married!
I wish people understood that dating is wrong and that courtship is really the way to go. If you want to know about it read a book called I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris.

All my single ladies! Dating is great but the boys have lost the art of pursuing. Our DIVA hearts should be completely for God. We should never stay with a guy who is not right for us because think about it we are kissing someone elses husband!
ReplyDeleteI very much agree. Dating is for those who just want to have fun. Courting is for those who have a desire to find the spouse that God has planned for them. That is my goal. Establish a firm foundation in friendship and see where the Lord leads the two of you after that.
