The One Thing You Must Do Before Searching For A Christian Partner

I want to let you in on the one thing you MUST do before searching out a Christian partner. This is absolutely crucial to your success and future happiness.

Are you ready? Here it is...

Quit trying.

That's it. Just quit. Trying to do it all yourself is too hard, it's too frustrating, and most of the time, it ends up in disaster.

I know, I know--I can hear you saying, "Is this guy off his rocker?"

Well, maybe (don't ask my wife). But hear me out.

If you read the previous sentence, you'll see that I used the term "trying to do it all yourself". And that's the key.

Christian singles CAN'T do it all themselves, In fact, they're not supposed to. They need God's help.

And therein lies the answer. The most important factor in turning your situation around? You must give it over to God.

Sounds simple doesn't it? Well, it is really. Simple, but amazingly difficult.

See, we're taught from birth to be independent, assertive individuals. Want something? You go get it! Winner gets the spoils. Loser goes home empty handed. That's the way the world works. Deal with it.

That's the way the WORLD works. But it's not God's way.

When we surrender to Christ, we give ourselves completely. He creates a new creature and "makes all things new". We strive to follow His teachings and let Him lead our lives.

But when the world's thinking starts sneaking in, we get distracted and start looking inward instead of upward. Before you know it we're exhausting ourselves to achieve something that God never wanted for us anyway.

Sound familiar?

That's why the first thing every single Christian should do is give your situation over to the Lord. Wholly. Completely. Without reservation.

God knows who He has for you and what your future holds. Let Him do His job and you won't have to.

When you give it to the Lord, you'll feel the tension and frustrations melt away, and you'll be free to relax and enjoy His blessings.

No more beating your head against a wall, wondering why relationship #473 didn't work out. No more wondering, "Lord, is she the one?" or "Father, is this the man I'm supposed to be with?"

When it's in God's hands, it's in the best place possible. And you don't have to do anything but sit back and watch His amazing plan for you unfold.

I remember when my brother-in-law revealed this one piece of insight to me. I had been sofrustrated with the way things were going. None of my relationships were working out and I was at my wits end.

I was bowled over by the fact that God wanted to take care of my situation and I didn't have to live in frustration anymore. We prayed, and I felt like a 500 lb. weight had literally been lifted off my shoulders! It was incredible!

But I had to GIVE IT TO GOD. I had to come to Him, lay down my burdens before His altar, ask for help, then step aside while He did His magnificent work. That was the key to the whole process.

And what work He did. It was only a few months later that I was introduced to Ronda, a blond, blue-eyed beauty in our Singles class. Talk about your magnificent works!

Have you given your loneliness and frustration to God? I mean REALLY given it to Him?

I know we sometimes say we have, but then our grubby little fingers get in the pie and start messing things up again.

Today, right now, why not hand the keys to the Lord and watch Him do His work?

You'll be amazed at the results!
