Fit Bit (lonesome)
Dear Kimberly,
I took your advice; I
let go of my married boyfriend. I can’t
stop thinking bout him. I keep thinking
of reasons I can call him. He is very
smart; I would like to just talk with him about politics. Would that be so bad? I know that relationship was wrong, but I
feel so lonesome.
Sincerely,
Lonesome
Dear Lonesome,
You are not
alone! Although God doesn’t give us
physical hugs or talk with us verbally He is still always with us.
Mathews 28:20 “Teaching them
to observe all things that I have commanded you; and Lo I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.”
Hebrews 13:5 “
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such thing as you
have, For He Himself said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
The more you perseverate on this relationship the harder it
is to give it up. What you think about
expands. When you start to fantasize
about this man, STOP! You can control
your thinking; intentionally think about God and His promises for your life. To
change your thoughts, read Gods’ word, it is powerful. Call a Christian friend, or do something that
is fun.
It is hard to be single.
Our culture teaches us that we should have a mate. Yet Paul said, that if we can control our
lusts (promiscuous behavior) it is far better to be single so we can focus on
God. Many of us desire a mate, yet if we
settle for a mate that is not God’s choice for us then we are interfering with
God’s will for our lives. How do you
know if the person you are dating is a person God would approve of?
1.
Does He love you like Christ loved the church? (Cherish you?)
2.
Are you equally yoked? (Is God and His ways
first in your lives?)
3.
Does she
respect you?
4.
Is being together a sin?
Ask yourself these questions. Dating is to determine if you can marry that
person. If you cannot marry that person,
then move on. Trust God.
Mathew 6:8 “Therefore so not be like them, For your Father knows the
things you have need of before you ask Him.”
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
