Truly I want a strong relationship with Jesus it helps me feeling better 😊

[@The4Tifier]

From what I’ve learned in situations like this, if it’s true love, then it will never fade. All other types of love eventually come and go. But if it really is true love, it won’t go away, and that’s okay whether or not it leads to a relationship or not. Because the kind of love you have for that person is exactly the kind of love Christ showed the world, and the love He wants us to have for others. And that’s a wonderful love to have no matter how it turns out.

[@heliosthefirst1397]

I love the way you put it

[@valerieifill2268]

For me I was or am very confused because it seemed like God brought her into my life. She is the first girl I liked since turning my life over to Christ. Now I am left not knowing what to think, I just wanted someone to glorify God together with. I just have to trust God’s perfect timing and he will either bring us together or he won’t.

[@livin-in-the-south]

I feel the same way. It seemed everything was going right between me and this guy all good and biblical. But know i don't think he is my person. We keep drifting further and further and things keep coming between us. I think God is telling me to move on and focus more on Him and His love instead of idolizing relationships. But I don't know, I'm just confused about the whole situation.

[@jacobrobinson6603]

I'm struggling with the same thing. There was a girl who I met who made me want to turn my life over fully to Christ, but we stopped talking because she just kinda cut me off and I've been confused ever since that if she was the right one or not, and maybe if God was presenting an opportunity to me and I may have messed up that opportunity. But as time goes by I just learn to trust God and that there is someone out there truly for me to spend the rest of my life with.

[@livin-in-the-south]

@@jacobrobinson6603 that's crazy I had the same thing. Because of this guy I got closer to God than I ever have. then he just cut me off and joined the Army. I was so confused and thought I was gonna marry that boy. I started just trusting in God. And now I realize God just put that boy in my life to get me closer to Him and when that was finished He separated us answering my question if this was the man He was gonna put in my life. Now I am content just trusting Him I also have grown a better relationship with God due to that experience. Now just wanting for when God sends my man all in His timing ☺️

[@E_sharp17]

​@@jacobrobinson6603you said "who made me fully want to turn my life over to Christ"... I hope you have now, because Jesus hopes you would do so, without necessarily needing someone in your life to do so.

[@MsMellokat]

Is important not to romance with yourself, just do Gods holy will , if your meant to be with this person God will move mountains for this to happen.

[@suzannefletcher4739]

Incredibly timely for me. I know God is working in ways I can’t see fully right now. I have strong feelings for someone for many months now, and we have a big timing issue when it comes to having a romantic relationship right now. I do believe the Lord is compelling me to lean into Him more, and pursue healing and health in every area of my life in new waits, as I wait on His will - whatever that is. Thank you so much, Mark!!!

[@danilaroche1156]

The man should lead when it comes to relationship & commitment. I'd let it go. Focus on other things. Be about God's business. He may want you. He might not. Do you have a soul tie thru sex? That will make it incredibly difficult. Accept his no and seek God for healing.

Such an important topic. The third reason resonates hard with me because I have been in a state of anxiety to push myself to do hard things. I'm slowly getting motivated again to pursue my passions. Thankfully, his feelings for me are mutual, but the fears and anxieties can exist even in these types of situations

[@lebni6059]

Same here

[@jaimiejin7992]

Hey Mark thanks for summarizing the three possible reasons like that. After I broke up with my ex-boyfriend, I kept thinking about him. I do believe I am so attached to him, because of my own trauma. I was broken and damaged, and therefore I was seeking love from this person, who at the end of the day can't give me love, and it's really on my own to fix my issues first, then I'll be able to enter a healthy relationship with someone. i believe that I was wrongfully prioritizing this human over my relationship with God. As you said, we're made to love God. I think I was using my relationship with my ex as a substitute because I am so disconnected with God. I believe God is using this sense of longing and desire to motivate me to seek deeper connection with him, and to heal and to take care of myself.

[@jaime4799]

That sounds amazingly similar to myself recently, aside from 1 thing. I know God used him as a tool to bring me closer to God, which I'm eternally thankful for. I thought God brought us together for marriage but I was wrong. He broke up with me after 8 glorious months together, ...the first time someone ever broke up with me, and I'm 47 years old. That was 3 months ago, I still think of him, still miss him, and I believe I still love him. ~~~~ from this point it' s almost exactly the same as what you wrote at the start of your 3rd sentence. How wild!! Also, idk what your name is, but assuming by the post, here's something else that's possibly strangely similar... ... ...my name is Jaime.

Well… I was literally praying about this today. Like four hours ago or so. So… Really good timing on that upload there.

[@danilaroche1156]

What are you afraid of? This kind of fear isn't from God. He hasn't given us a spirit of fear but of power, love & a sound mind. Just make sure she's in Christ and avoid sexual temptation.

[@RoysMyBoy]

@danilaroche1156 Oh really, it's potentially being wrong and getting rejected. I've waited as long as I have because Every time I had an opportunity to talk to her, it was in front of a group of people, and I didn't want to embarrass her...😅

[@danilaroche1156]

You must get past this fear, Alek. You must be bold & confident. You won't embarass her. Just say hello and see what happens. You sound like an 8th grader. Come on, man up.

@danilaroche1156 I know I'm homeschooled, so as a child and teenager, I never got that much socialization. So understandably, I feel a bit awkward now as a 22 year old when being open with someone...😅 (Thanks for your support, by the way! God bless!☺🙏)

[@siennasamuel]

Im very comfortable right now in my strong feeling for him, but keeping my eyes fixed on Jesus and waiting on his perfect timing :) it’s not the time/season for romance for either of us, but I have a great feeling for what the future might hold, and I’d be content in a strong friendship too! That’s how I’d like to begin my relationship with my future husband anyways, so I really can’t get too ahead of myself! 😆 I also feel and am navigating things differently regarding my feelings than I did in the beginning. There were definitely bouts of infatuation, but as I continue to grow, stay prayed up, get encouragement from the Holy Spirit and my loved ones, continue to be guided by God, and get into really really great content creators helping me grow in faith and spirituality! It’s maturing into something far more beautiful:) my relationship with God is so much stronger and getting more and more every single day, every moment even, and I really have faith in the good that God has for me, as I’m ready to receive whatever that looks like, and deal with my emotions as they come. Thanks Mark for all your great content and behind the scenes efforts ❤️ you really are doing Gods work :) blessings to you and your gorgeous family! Praise the Lord 😄

I wish these thoughts of him would leave if he’s not the one. I think he ghosted me so I blocked him so I didnt have to wait around anymore yet I’m waiting for him to come knocking on my door 😢 I do have an inner ache inside of my heart for love. Not just anybody but to have and be a godly spouse. I pray God blessed me and I promise to be the best I can as a woman in Christ. My name is Amanda which means deserving of love yet all my life it never seems that way😢 I will keep focusing on God. Thanks for this video

[@E_sharp17]

I really did not know whether to laugh or feel emotional... I did laugh though, when you said your name was Amanda. well.... Millions of people in the world just like us, looking for God loving individuals to glorify God with. But sometimes divided by distance or just location, and time. Eventually I've told myself, if she doesn't love God truly, then I'm fine being alone. And it's so easy to find pretenders these days and those who can't stand trials of marriage, and even the challenges of life itself. God bless you dear

A bizarre trend I have noticed with myself is that the closer I get to God, the less I miss and less tempted I am to go back to my ex. But during periods of backsliding and discouragement, I miss them more and more. Sometimes it’s not because we miss our ex, we just desire to be intimate with someone even if it means going back to your own vomit.

Consider me as your grandmother, I am 62 years old and have 3 daughters and a son of my own. I think you need to tell him you need to find time for a serious talk. You need to tell him how you feel, tell him he does not have to give you an immediate response. But you will be living in separate rooms until you know where you stand. If he doesn't care about you , you can consider making an arrangement to stay in the same place in separate rooms with an agreement that no outsiders can come to the house, only family members . Like that, you can live as a family unit for your son and separate lives for yourself like a rental share.

I'm so sorry to hear you are experiencing such a pain that I can't imagine to be honest.....counseling of some sort more particularly Christian counseling could be beneficial.... at the end of the day though I feel you should seek the Lord in what you should do....He doesn't want you to feel and think these things ....He wants nothing but good things for you and your life so seeking Him on guidance here will be most significant..... marriage is meant to be a covenant under Him harmonious, matrimonial and committed against all resistance and trials....I will pray for you and your heart and I pray that your husband might address the deeper brokenness that needs to be addressed and come to a place of repentance that breakthrough in this lustful area might occur ....all the love and blessings ....stay strong seek the Lord as feverently as you can and just keep doing for your kids and your heart and I have faith He will guide you thru this and restore your pain to a place of healing in Jesus name ...amen❤
