MEMORISE: I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please. – Song of Solomon 8:4
BIBLE READING: Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
MESSAGE:
When young people ask me how l coped when I got married at 19, I usually say that I don’t know, but I thank God for giving me a very understanding man who fears God and loves me. This is why l always advise teenagers and youths to focus on their dreams and follow God daily. When you do this, He will grant your heart’s desires.
Romantic relationships can be exciting; however, they are not for teenagers because they are not mature enough to make the right choice concerning who they will eventually marry. My dear child, I urge you to focus on your walk with God and trust Him, even in the little things. It is important to be consistent in your walk with God and recognise His voice, so that you will not miss His leading in every aspect of your life, particularly when it comes to dating and marriage in future.
It is unfortunate that many people don’t have a relationship with God; they can’t identify His voice, yet when it comes to marriage, they want to hear Him speak. Don’t be like them:; rather, focus on personal growth and spiritual maturity. When it is time for you to get married, God will bring the right person your way, and you will be able to identify him or her.
KEY POINT:
Focus on your relationship with God, and He will guide you when it comes to dating and marriage at the right time.
