“I the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not share you affections with any other God.” Exodus 20:5

College is the time where friendships blossom into relationships. Relationships into engagments. Finally engagements into marriages. Not only is this a time for finding that special someone, it is a time where it is most essential to figure out your who you are, as well as your identity in the Lord.

As a female, it is our heart to want to be pursued by a man. Now, men don’t check out. This is for you too! We all long for that satisfaction to be wanted and accepted by the opposite sex. However, this is where it can all go wrong. As a believers we must make sure that we pursue relationships with the purest of intentions. Is it wrong to want to be wanted? No! Not at all in fact the Word says, “God created human beings; he created them godlike, Reflecting God’s nature. He created them male and female.” His heart is to romance his lover, and with that being his heart, naturally it is ours. I have realized that before I am blessed with an addition to my life, I must allow the lover of my soul to romance me in such a way that none can comprehend. He has to be my number one! After all, He does exhibit the truest depiction of love.

I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in another’s affections, and ultimatley end up losing yourself in the process. This is where most of us get in trouble. In the scripture at the beginning of this blog we see that he does not compete for our affections. He wants all of our hearts, not just a piece. This is something that I have been working on personally. I have found that once you allow God to romance you a deeper satisfaction comes upon you that you cannot find elsewhere. Your thirst is quenched. Your needs are met. The amazing thing about God is He meets us where we are at. No matter the circmstance.

Blessings!
