A few years ago, I almost entered a relationship with a brother.
We were still in the talking stage when God revealed his true character to me.
One day, we got into a conversation about s*xual purity. From one question to another, I asked how he felt about staying s*xually pure until marriage.
To my surprise, he strongly disagreed.
At first, I thought he was joking… until I realized he was completely serious. I even laughed and said, “This relationship hasn’t even started yet—what happens if it actually does?” 😂
He went on to call me a “saint.”
Honestly, I don’t mind being called a saint when it comes to s*xual purity. 🙂
That one question saved me from entering a relationship that would have pressured me to compromise God’s standard.
It was patience that allowed God to reveal who he truly was.
Many sisters have lowered their standards, trying to keep men who were never worth keeping in the first place. And some brothers carry a Christian title but lack self-control, thinking a relationship is an outlet for their s*xual desires.
My brother, it doesn’t work that way. If you cannot be in a relationship without s*x, it’s better to stay single.
Discernment is important, but so is asking the right questions. Don’t assume—ask. That’s how you truly know who someone is, and avoid mistaking the wrong person for a life partner.
Not every “good” connection is God’s will.
Sometimes, one honest conversation is all it takes for God to open your eyes.
Don’t ignore red flags just because you’re excited about the person. What you tolerate at the beginning, you’ll struggle with later.
Hold your standards. Stay aligned with God. The right person will not require you to compromise to be loved.
