I'm seventeen years old and it seems that even though i try my hardest to put God number one in my life- my mind really is a mind of its own- It's interesting to observe myself, how at one moment I can be praying earnestly to God to really getting encouragement from a verse and suddenly within the blink of an eye my mind shifts to things, not so benefiting.
Of course there is school- homework, tests, grades clawing at us at every which way
But i think that Guys- crushes or infatuation or whatever you might call it, is a topic that is always laying out on the shores of our conscience.
Of course society blames this on hormones or natural progression but while that might be true- what you have to look out for is how much importance you give to this portion of your life.
Proverbs 31:30
Flirting shamelessly, wearing skimpy clothing, and doing whatever possible to capture the eye's of a man is not the way to gain the right kind of man. Charm and Beauty are just as temporary and insufficient as the breakfast you ate yesterday- but one thing that holds so much more is the faith and love you have for God. While flirting and short skirts might attract a moments happiness- they also attract years of regret. But if you go seeking a relationship- whether its with a man or family or friendship- if you fear the Lord and use him as the foundation, there's no end to the blessings God will pour out on that relationship. Remember that the way you dress or the way you present yourself also reflects your relationship with God, your body is the temple of God- treat it with as much respect as God intended you to.
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
So 1) Dress to Impress- God. Don't let the world sour the innocence that God intended
Secondly, Don't let your search for a boy friend or your need to be liked by the opposite sex be your cause for life.
Romans 8: 37-39
Love is always conditional with anyone you meet. Another person cannot be there for you 24/7, they cannot read your mind or understand exactly what you're going through or how you're going through it, but there is someone who does- there is someone who knows you better than you know yourself- and his love transcends all things. Before you can love another person- you have to know the love of Christ. By first putting Christ in your life- making him the bridegroom, then only will another relationship be truly worthwhile. Christ should be the number one priority.
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
3) "Dance with God, and he will let the right man cut in"- Face Book Bumper Sticker :]
It seems that Girls are always trying to write their own love stories- we have all these dreams and "Disney" fantasies- with the knight in shining armor- and we take this long 10 mile list and trudge about the world on a quest to find him. Wrong approach and wrong intentions
Mathew 6:33-34
33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.Call on God and he will answer you, first seek him and then he will give you all the desires of your heart. God has already hand picked someone for you to spend the rest of your life with. He has been shaping the both of you, creating both of you in a timely way so that when the time comes for the two of you to meet- it will be perfect. Talk to God first- and he will provide everything in your life. Don't be afraid to ask God about things like these- God is really your best friend, there is nothing he wont listen to, nothing he wont help you out with. Trust in him.
Remember that every choice you make creates your personality and creates your future- be wise in the boys you let enter your life- if God is at the center of your life, everything in your life will gravitate towards him
God bless <3
