An open letter from Mr. Right

Dear daughters of God,

Contrary to what you have heard, I do exist. I’m no fairytale hunk with big muscles and thing for chick flicks (although, I may or may not have a man bun). So, put your daydreams of love off to the side for a minute and let me tell you what makes me, “Mr. Right” and why people keep telling you to wait for me.

The first thing I really want for you to understand is that I was not born your Mr. Right. I promise we weren’t destined to cross paths and lock eyes from across a crowded room and fall hopelessly in love. God has been working in my heart for YEARS! Do you realize what was in my heart before Christ saved me?! Of course you don’t because we haven’t met yet, but I can promise you it is equally as crazy and sinful as what you’ve been walking through. That is why I need some time… And it is also why you need the same. Let’s do each other a huge favor and give one another the time to heal from our pasts and become something different; something whole. I know that you’ve spent a lot of time feeling less than whole, like you’re missing something, and so have I. But now we have both been made new in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and need to take some time to learn to walk in this new wholeness. So, I’m going to give you that space and promise not to pursue you until God has made it clear that you are in the right season in your faith.

But here is the kicker and the second thing I need you to know… As patient and trusting in God’s timing as I am, this thing between you and I also hinges on your obedience and trust in the Lord. Have you ever read the Song of Solomon? There is a part in there that I will never forget. It says, “Promise me, O women of Jerusalem (Daughters of God); not to awaken love before the time is right” (NLT Emphasis Mine). Let me fill you in on why she says that. She is begging women not hurry into love for two reasons; one, because the real thing is so worth the wait. And two, because being joined with a person out of season is one of the most painful things someone can experience. Sure you can frolic in lala land for a little while, but what happens when the romance and passion subsides and your left with just your hearts, left open and bare? What happens when the struggles hit and the person you’re with isn’t strong enough to fight the good fight of faith? What happens when they mess up and you’re expected to show them the same grace Christ showed you? I’ll tell you what happens, things will fall apart. Whether on the surface or beneath it, things will fall apart…. That’s the truth, if two people are not both firmly rooted in their faith in Christ, they will suffer for that lack together. I could walk you through almost any church and show you marriage after marriage where people are suffering because they aroused love before it’s time. They are paying for the consequences of that decision decades down the road. Which is why we must join together in patience, even though we are apart.

Here is what we are working towards and the third thing I need you to know: God has asked me to be so much like Christ that you are able to submit to me as unto Him (Ephesians 5:22-33). And He is asking you to be able to submit to me and point me to Jesus by your actions, even when I’m acting like a fool (1 Peter 3:1-6). So take a minute and think… Could you really do that right now? I’m getting closer, but I don’t think I could do that just yet. But when God gives me a peace about the continual growth of my own faith, I will know and I’ll be obedient to pursue you. And you will know that it is me because I will respectfully, tactfully, and politely pursue you with very clear intentions. When a guy begins to talk to you, know that it’s me because I’ll be respectful and not flirting with you via text. Know that it’s me because I’ll be clear that I’m asking you on a date and won’t create an atmosphere where you have to question what we are doing or where we stand. Know that it’s me because when we are dating, I’ll not only be respectful of your emotional and physical boundaries, but also have some of my own. And know that it’s me because I’ll be more interested in your faith and what your relationship with Jesus looks like than being romantic and creating surface level connections.

So, please wait for me. For your sake and my own, wait. Wait because God is telling you to wait. Wait because you have more growing to do. Wait because I have more growing to do. And wait because it will be worth it. Because at the end of the day, the reason I’m not pursuing you yet is because I’m just not ready. And the reason you’re not being pursued by me yet is that you’re just not ready. So join with me in individually submitting to God…Even if that means that there actually isn’t a Mr. or Mrs. Right waiting for us… Can we be ok with that? Can we trust God and be okay with whatever the outcome, knowing that we have already received all we need in His Son? That’s a hard question, but until you’re in a place where you’re okay with never getting married, you won’t be in a place where I will be able to pursue you. Thinking of and praying for you,

– Mr. Right

Why are we so afraid of waiting, so fearful of taking time - of allowing days to be completed, and months to run into years. Why are we so hell bent on getting to what’s next, what’s coming, what’s ahead - instead of embracing what’s right in front of us? Why are we so caught up in chasing what we could have, instead of appreciating what is ours? We long for relationships, for marriage, for the next best thing - for someone to look at us and say their I do’s and their forevers. We smash down doors that are locked for our own protection, self preservation and preparation, all for the mere desire to get ahead, to win the race, to score the prize. We put tomorrow on a pedestal and leave today in the dirt - forgetting that today was once our tomorrow and our tomorrow will soon be our today, meaning every day becomes lost. When did we decide that this very moment was insufficient to be celebrated? When did we conclude that todays purpose was to yearn for tomorrow? When did we turn marriage into an idol so great that it blinded our ability to grow, flourish and develop ourselves in the place we are in. When did we decide that a relationship status determines blessing and Godly position, and that royalty is no longer something we believe we are, but merely something we see on television? What happened to us? We used to dream in vivid colours - colours so bright that the world could not deny we lived for something greater. Yet here we are, chasing partnership like our lungs chase oxygen, forgetting all the while that time was designed for a purpose greater than to describe the distance between one point of life to another. It was designed to be lived in fullness. Designed not to be rushed nor dragged, but to be embraced and experienced. We need to live in the potential of today, rather than the possibility of tomorrow. Dream for bigger things by all means, little dreamer… But do not rush today, don’t lose face. Here, now - it holds beauty for you too. Give time the chance it deserves.

Is there such a thing as a "soul mate"? How can I know if I've found "the one"?

The idea of a “soul mate” is that for every person there is another person who is a “perfect fit,” and if you marry anyone other than this soul mate, you will never be happy. This idea of soul mates goes way back to the teachings of Plato in the 3rd century. But does the Bible say anything about soul mates? Fantastic and romantic as it is, having a soul mate is not a biblical idea.

For centuries, people have been using the soul mate idea as grounds to break up or even divorce . A person becomes unhappy in a relationship, then claims they are obviously not with “the one” and should therefore break up. At that point, they feel they can justify the search for their “true” soul mate. Sorry, people, but that’s nothing more than an excuse—a pretty blatantly unbiblical one, too.

I know that if you’re reading this on 412teens.org (and if you’re a teenager), you’re probably not married yet, but this is still valid for future reference. Once you’re married, the person you’ve married is the person you are meant to be with. Mark 10:7-9 says, “A man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” A husband and wife are “united,” “one flesh,” “no longer two, but one,” and “joined together"—soul mates, if you want to be romantic. ;-)

Even if a relationship is not as perfect and joyous as a couple wishes it could be, once they’re married, they are soul mates. By following what the Bible teaches about marriage (Ephesians 5:22-33), a couple can develop the intimacy, love, and commitment that being "one flesh” soul mates is all about. No matter how disharmonious a marriage is, God can bring healing, forgiveness, restoration, and true marital love and harmony.

How can I know if I’m with the right person? Is it possible to marry the wrong person?

If we listen to God and seek His direction for our lives, He promises to direct us: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6). What happens if you don’t trust in God’s ways and if you decide to choose what’s best instead of letting God direct you? Well, you leave yourself open to stray off in the wrong direction. In a time of disobedience toward God, and if we aren’t taking His guidance to heart, then yes, it’s possible to marry someone God did not desire you to marry.

However, even in that case, God is still in control and knows the best next steps. Nothing we do can mess up God’s sovereign will. He can take any two people, no matter how mismatched, and mold them into two people who are perfect for each other. That’s how much He loves us and shows how powerful He really is!

If you maintain a close friendship with God, listen to His leading, and obey Him, Hewill lead and guide you. If you are truly trying to follow His will for your life and His desire is for you to marry, God will lead you to the person He intends for you to be with—your “soul mate.”

You say goodbye And never look back

The demonic influence of the 1 like = 1 prayer culture

Some of the things that take place on social media appear harmless, but in reality we’re seeing spiritual battles take place on a public stage.

I assure you, I’ve never once been the conspiracy guy that overreacts about everything and assumes that the illuminati is taking over everything, but what I’m about to share I think deserves all of our attention as followers of Christ. And I’ll do it using a number list because it makes me feel organized.

1. Using the name and so called image of Jesus to solicit likes and obtain social media fame is self serving and ultimately anti-christ in nature. Creating and sharing such posts brings no glory to Jesus. It’s all an attempt to gain as much popularity as possible.

A good alternative to the “share this picture of Jesus to show you’re not ashamed of him” post is to post a verse or scripture of Jesus’ words that teach people something about who he is. These excerpts can be easily found by opening any Bible to the new testament.

2. When you tell people that liking indicates their love for Jesus while ignoring indicates their love for Satan you’re manipulating, not ministering. God never works through passive aggression. Using this idea against people is using the same tactic Satan uses against Jesus at Matthew 4. If you are ________ then __________. It’s pure evil and the complete opposite of how God works. It’s very Arrogant to tie someone’s soul salvation to their interaction with you on social media.

A good alternative to this is… well honestly there is no good alternative for this one, just stop this foolishness.

3. And probably my least favorite. No, one like does not equal one prayer. To equate liking a post on social media to actually talking to the God of the universe is idolatry. It is elevating a like on facebook to the powerful advancement of God’s kingdom.

Now some argue that when they click like on these posts that they’re actually letting the person know that you’re praying for the situation. I see your heart. But you’re actually doing the right thing the wrong way. Instead of giving your like away to the fame hungry person on the other side of that account, instead just let one prayer equal one prayer and pray over the situation. Don’t reward their behavior with your like.

A good alternative to posting these types of posts is to instead simply ask people to pray for the cause and post a link that will allow people to be the answer to what they prayed. Encourage people to get involved and actually do something more than click a button on a computer to feel good about themselves.

Ok, rant over. Continue with your regularly scheduled tumbling.

You’re more real than the ground I’m standing on.You’re more real than the wind in my lungs. You’re closer than the skin on my bones. You’re closer than the song on my tongue. Your thoughts define me. You’re inside me. You’re my reality. Abba, I belong to You.
