There is something God kept telling me about love that many in courtship are not hearing.
Solomon the wisest man who knew love very well said something that should make every single pause. In Song of Solomon chapter 8 verse 4 he said, do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
Read that again.
Do not awaken love until it is time🧏‍♀️.
What is God trying to tell singles in courtship.
He is saying love is powerful.
Love is like fire. Fire is good in the fireplace but fire on the sofa will burn the whole house. In the same way love is beautiful but only when it is awakened in the right season.
Many in courtship today are awakening a love that is meant for marriage.
You start talking like husband and wife when you are not yet married. You start touching like husband and wife.
You start visiting and staying alone in private places.
You start stirring up emotions and desires that your current season cannot carry righteously.
And when you do that, you lose something.
You lose clarity.
You can no longer pray well.
You can no longer hear God about the person.
Red flags become invisible because feelings have covered your eyes.
You become so attached that even when God is telling you this is not the way, you cannot walk away.
That is why God says let love sleep.
Guard it.
Keep it holy.
True love can wait because true love has vision. It is not just about what it can get from your body today but about what it can build with your destiny tomorrow. The person who truly loves you will protect your purity, not pressure you to break it.
He will help you guard your heart. She will help you stay close to God.
If you are in courtship today, ask yourself, am I awakening love too early.
Am I doing marriage things in a dating season. Remember purity is not punishment, purity is protection for your future marriage. God wants to give you love without guilt, without regret, without pain.
So let love sleep for now.
Build friendship.
Build prayer.
Build vision.
Build God in the middle. When the time comes and vows are made before God, then let love fully awaken and it will be beautiful.
May God help all singles in courtship to love in wisdom and not just in feelings.
God bless you for reading till the end.
