Love is a beautiful thing, but how do you know when you’ve found the real deal? Before you start picking out your wedding dress and scouting bridesmaids, make sure that He’s the one God sent you.
Here are 6 signs he just might be God sent
1. He’s a God sent answer to your prayer
The first thing you should do is pray on it. Pray for discernment. It’s not enough to just desire a relationship. God should be in agreement with you. We've all had our share of Mr. Wrongs all dressed up as Mr Right. You might ask how did this happen? The answer is simple, you didn’t pray on it.
You're trying almost every possible course of action except praying about it, leaving no stone unturned.
Discussing with friends and family, but not talking to God about it, while allowing your friends and family to hook you up on blind dates without seeking God's face.
So I say to you… ” Have you prayed about it as much as you have talked about it?”
2. The relationship won’t contradict God’s word
If he is in the middle of a divorce, it means he's still married. “In a relationship”, he is still off-limits. Don’t cheat yourself by being #2, #3, or anything besides #1. If the relationship is God's plan, it won’t contradict God’s word and it won’t be “complicated”.
By that, it doesn’t mean that the two of you won’t have disagreements or that the relationship won’t experience its ups and downs. I can say one thing for sure… God is not the author of confusion. Therefore, The man He has for you won’t bring drama to your doorstep. He won’t mistreat you, or allow anyone else to mistreat you.
3. If you share the same core beliefs, then he's God sent
Opposites attract, it’s true. But there are certain things that a couple should be in agreement about. Your mate should share the same values, morals, and beliefs as you. Hopefully, this is someone you can see yourself marrying.
You want someone who will encourage and instil the same values in your children. He shares the same passion for Christ as you. You’re not unequally yoked. When it comes to your relationship, God is first. He respects your morals and values and doesn’t try to force or encourage you to stray away from them.
4. The God-sent relationship won’t turn you away from Christ
Don't begin to idolize the relationship. If God has sent him, he won't distract you. Let me just remind you that the right relationship won’t distract you from God. It will bring you closer to Him. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. – Matthew 6:33
5. It’s pure love
You love this person just for being them. Nothing more, nothing less. Furthermore, It’s not about how much money they have, what they can do for you, or the fact that the two of you have so much in common. You genuinely love this person… flaws and all, unconditionally.
Through the good times and the bad times, through the ups and downs, through thick and thin. Seems like when you’re with this person, your heart sings and you can’t stop smiling.
6. You aren’t afraid to express your love to him.
You trust him, he’s your best friend, and you can totally see yourself being submissive to him.
Suddenly the wall that you’ve built around your heart, is slowing coming down. You’re in love!
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
