It really is true. I read the 1st one and hopped on this one. I really shouldn't be worried, because God has everything in store for me all in due time. The bible says that He doesn't give us more than we can handle, We always use that in reference to bad things. Maybe God knows you cannot mentally and physically handle a guy. Maybe he wants me to wait until I know its His perfect timing and not mine. THANK YOU!

My favorite promise is, God has nothing but good in store for those who wait on Him. It applies to so many areas of my life. Even though I have heard it before it is good to hear again and again.

The promise that meant the most to me was probably the one that says, God has nothing but good in store for those who wait on him. Because it promises that if we wait patiently, we will be satisfied and we will be pleased.

Paula, this is so true!!!! I love it. And yes i have "set my sights on a guy, only to realize later that he grosses me out." That really made me laugh. I love the promise that God withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly. God is so good.
Not exactly on topic, but ill say it anyway.

If a guy is pursuing you and you think that he might be the one, let the peace of Christ rule in your heart(col. 3:15). If, after lots of prayer, you have Christ's peace about beginning or refraining from a relationship, then follow the path that leads to God's peace.
One example of Christ's peace that I am experiencing right now. . .
I am afraid of witnessing. I always have been; many times i get a stomach ache if i think that i need to witness. God has impressed me to witness to a girl in my dance class, and i really feel his peace about it. Tomorow we are going out to dinner, and if the time is right, i am going to tell her the good news. Please pray for me. I am so inadequate but God is faithful!!

I've felt that way before but then when I did witness to these people I had no idea who they were, (I was about 10 or 11 and they were high schoolers) it really wasn't that bad at all. I was with my friend, we where at the park and there were alot of high school girls at the park, and they were kinda swearing and stuff, so me and my friend were like "Hey we should go tell them about Jesus," and my friend was the pastor's daughter at our church, so we walked over there and they asked us a weird question and we said "We were going to tell you guys something", then we turned around and went back to her house, we were kinda nervous, (her house was right across from the park) and they followed us saying "Wait tell us" so they came up to the front porch or her house and they sat down in front of us. My friend took out a Bible and we talked to them, they had questions about Jesus. One of them even ran back to their house and came back with cookies! (and I think we even brought something out too) It was really amazing for my first time witnessing and it wasn't that bad!

I'll be praying for you Shanni!

Thanks for this, Paula! You are such an encouragement to me to wait for God's timing with my [non-existent, lol] "love life!"
The promise that means the most to me is that God knows what is best for me - and I DEFINITELY don't!!! He is SO GOOD and SO FAITHFUL! Thanks for the encouragement!

Thank you for this entry, I believe that it also pertains to other things other than "pursuing guys". It was really helpful thank you.

I like the second one. That entire Psalm is amazing, and it makes me feel all warm inside when I think of the fact that God is always with me. I also like Jeramiah 17:9 because it's so true. The heart really is sick!

I've had a boyfriend for about a year now, the ironic thing is I never pursued him. It gave me the chance for us to become best friends (without any pursuit of each other). The guys that I tried to pursue beforehand, never worked. I can almost say it was because I didn't trust God enough that He would work behind the scenes while I was following hard after Him alone. When I started to, God did so many amazing things (and still does everyday) and provided a best friend that became a boyfriend.

Hey, girl. I used to be in your shoes. You see, i became a Christian in seventh grade and lived in a nonchristian home. I felt like i knew i should tell my own mother about my changed life but i couldn't. It took me a year of praying that God would lavish upon me courage to tell people i became a christian until i finally did it. It might take a lot of courage, but God can definately help you through it!!!

Love,
Fuzzy

I love this thread. I am no longer a "young woman" by society's standards (I'm now 40...gasp) but I do see the importance of putting your faith and trust in God and not in man. I've made that mistake a time or two, and have now finally peacefully, quietly, slowly realized that God will provide a loving honest man whom I can love and who will love me. I will prayerfully follow His plan for my life.

"I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness" (Jer. 31:3). This verse in the post really ministered to me....it's the 2nd time for the day that I'm bucking up on it...hmmm lol!

I no longer have to search for love or seek to find my worth in a man's desire for me.
That part too made me stop and think.

Thank you for the post!!!
