It is amazing how our society is driven by this thing called love. It is everywhere: music, tv commercials, film, books, magazines, and cartoons. We can’t escape from it. What’s even more amazing is that we quickly forget Who created love and Who first loved us.  As singles we need to go back to the basics of love. We need to go to the Source to learn how to love and to be loved.

I strongly believe that before anybody decides to date and get serious with somebody, they need a strong, solid foundation with God. This foundation will be their guiding principles, standards, ethics, and morals in the dating world. If you don’t know who you are & Whose you are while you are dating, you put yourself in a very dangerous position. You put yourself at risk  of losing yourself in a relationship and forgetting what really matters to you – which can lead to compromise.

In this love-obsessed society we live in, don’t forget about the love that really matters. Strengthen your relationship with God – your First Love. Because in the end, it will just be you and Him. He is the one who will be there before your husband arrives and the one who will be there after he’s gone. He is the one who keeps your heart beating and who holds your very breath in His hands. He knows every single, intimate thing about you – the good, bad, and the hidden, yet still loves you unconditionally. In God’s infinite wisdom, there is a reason why you are single right now. Use this time to your advantage. Prepare and strengthen yourself. Make sure nothing (and no one) will be able to separate you from your First Love.

“For I am persuaded , that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present , nor things to come , nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)
