A friend shared with me a series called 'The New Rules for Love, Sex & Dating' by Andy Stanley.
When I meet the right person, everything will be all right. This way of thinking creates trouble in our dating lives and sets us up for trouble in marriage. In this message, Andy challenges us to ask ourselves Am I the person the person I'm looking for is looking for? And he previews God's list of behaviors that will lead to success in dating and marriage.
Andy is an excellent speaker that will challenge you to think about how you're going about your dating life or desire to have one. We all want to find that 'Right Person' but how much time do we spend on ourselves to become the 'Right Person'. BECOMING is the word to focus on. We are either growing or decaying. Are you working on the quality traits that will be attractive to someone else. Not on a superficial level but on a deeper level. Those quality traits become who you are... your BEING. These qualities require effort and don't just happen...
Are you approaching your relationships thinking like a child and reasoning like a child? You probably think you are NOT but take a deeper look at what 's happening in your past or present relationships. It's time to put ways of childhood behind you and become the person with genuine qualities you're both looking for. Chemistry and passion may bring people together but if you don't have the qualities Andy speaks of, your relationship will not last because even the chemistry and passion will go away...
I want to stress there is a difference between having a fun child likeness in how you may look at some things in life and having the ability to play. I'm not referring to that when I mentioned reasoning like a child above. I'm sure you know the difference as I love to play and have fun myself! My challenge to you is to take the time to view this link with an open mind and an open heart because you are either growing or decaying...
Which one will you choose?
