I have been preaching a sermon series called “Made For Love.” The premise of this series is that God has create us for relationships. When God created man and saw that he was alone, it was the first time in creation that He called something “not good.” God created a place in our hearts that He chose not to fill and allowed human relationships to fill that void.
But how do we know that we are ready for “the one?” Here are 10 ways that you can know if you are ready for that relationship.
- My relationship and commitment to God comes before everything else – Nothing that comes into my life is going to take precedence to my relationship with God
- I have asked the Lord to seek and test my heart, my motives and my desires – I have allowed Jesus permission to show me if anything in me is a selfish or sinful desire
- I am committed to growing in my relationship with Jesus – To be able to love and receive love well, I must be in constant relationship with Love
- I have forgiven those who have hurt me in the past –I won’t make someone pay for another person’s mistakes.
I have moved on and allowed Jesus to heal my hurt
- I have healthy relationships with the opposite sex –When I meet someone who I want to be in a relationship with, I don’t have to get rid of or change any relationships with the opposite sex
- I am choosing to guard my sexual purity so that I have something powerful to offer my future mate –My sexuality is something sacred that is a privilege for someone to partake in and I am choosing to offer that full package to my spouse
- I have taken responsibility for myself and my junk – I recognize that we all have baggage and I am willing to own mine. I am honest about my fears and insecurities and don’t expect others to fix them for me
- I am submitted to leaders, parents and pastors in my life who can speak into my relationships – I recognize that I can’t see everything and that I need others who can help me succeed by showing me things that are hidden in my life and relationships
- I have great friends who I am accountable to and who have my best interest in mind – I have surrounded myself with friends who are able to do life with me and be a part of my relationships.
I am not choosing this out of loneliness but out of a healthy place
- I am ready to GIVE – I realize that it’s not just about ME but that it is about loving someone with the love of Christ.
