So how in the stink are we supposed to figure out dating now in the 21st century? Excellent question! There are a galore of books relating to such topics of dating and courting but there is something else that should be thought about along with this whole idea of waiting and dating.
Your Heart.
Above all else; guard your heart for it is the the wellspring of life
-Prov 4:23
When you are told to guard something it generally means its important, and this verse is saying that guarding your heart should be held above everything else. Therefore my conclusion is that it's pretty stinken IMPORTANT! So what does this mean? To try to condense it into a short sentence is to squish my anatomy textbook and all its information into a 2 page paper... aka impossible. But here are some ideas.
To protect what goes in and monitor what comes out
To make sure that you are not giving it away to anyone who is less the the best and making sure the love that is coming out of it is Christ's love; pure and holy.
To insure that our complete and utter dependence, worth and value are in him.
But what if we took it one step further? What if we choose not only to guard our own hearts but also the ones around us. What if we took into consideration how we would effect people by the way we dress, the way we act and how we spend our time. What if we thought about looking at the people around us as someone else's spouse? I think it would give a very different perspective.
We often lose sight of waiting because our culture is so fast pace and has given up on the idea that marriage lasts. God doesn't work in that timing, he works with what is most important.
Your Heart.
Above all else; guard your heart for it is the the wellspring of life
-Prov 4:23
