4 tips to guard your heart:
1.) Accept feelings for person w/o assuming you will get together one day
2.) Rely more on logic(mind) rather than longing(heart) early on
3.) Be interested but not infatuated
4.) Don't pray to be with the person but pray for God's will regarding the person

Don't pray to be with the person that you like, rather pray to God to reveal to you if that is the person he wants you to be with. Thank you.

My problem is that my imagination runs wild. A man will innocently smile at me on the train and within seconds I've already pictured us married with kids.

Look for deal breakers early on. Like, for one, if they don't like you back. LOL

Wanted to let you know that I ACCIDENTALLY clicked onto this video. This morning I was getting ready with the intention to impress my (non-Christian) crush by dressing nicely. God is such an on-time God.

Proverbs 13:12 "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." God wants to give us the desires of our hearts. He also wants us to seek first His kingdom and righteousness. It will all work out then.

I was idolizing the idea of this man being my God-sent husband, although logically it didn't make sense. He's since ghosted me. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes and protecting me 🙏🏽

Be content in yourself and with the life you have now...be the best person you can be while single...if marriage comes, then you will have something to offer the relationship...if marriage isn't a part of God's plan, you will still be a great person...

Never had a crush in my whole life. Well... Got one about two weeks ago. Ran to Jesus as if I was being attacked by the devil. I think I'm okay but it was scarry!

[butterflyyy]

God is training me to be ABLE to depend on Him alone, to be single, free and happy... it’s so liberating 🦋🙌🤗

We always talk about guarding our hearts. How about; how to know when to let your guard down?

Pay attention to:
1. Expectations
2. Logic
3. Idealisation

[julius_lewis]

I think as I prepare for the relationship season of my life God is telling me to be patient. Enjoy life and steward my singleness well but be patient and trust His timing. He’s not a microwave God, He’s a crock pot God.

When you realize you everyone else is going through the same thing😳😏🙊

I don't like having crushes. This video is awesome though.

To be honest I have been in church my whole life and have never heard any pastor speak on dating except to say don’t be unequally yoke. Thank you so much as this is extremely helpful.

I'm coming here with a broken heart. I recently made the mistake of assuming that we will be together. Thank you for your wisdom! I will use this as a guideline from now on. :)
