Google the word “dating” on the internet and find a long list to “To-do” items. Things like how many days you should wait before calling, the protocols for texting and facebook, the list of non-negotiable things you are looking for as a potential life long mate, how to impress on a first date… the list goes on and on.
I really feel for the men and women of our generation. The pressure and expectations are insurmountable. We set up all these rules and expectations and find ourselves in an over-analytical puddle of fear, frustration and confusion. Trying to be the woman or man that the other sex “really wants” and “do things the right way.”
But what if how we are designed to connect was less about what we DO and more about WHO WE ARE.
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. Romans 8:19
This is less about doing everything right, and more about trusting that we are already made right, because we are sons and daughters of a perfect Father.
And what we DO flows out of WHO WE ARE. So we take the pressure off our actions, our ability to follow these 10 perfect laws of dating, or having the perfect figure or look. There in lies grace.
The pressure is off. The expectations are false. The confusion is self-inflicted. Jesus says we are perfect in all He created us to be. And out of that confidence flows love, grace, authenticity and the ability to truly connect.
You,man of God, are ENOUGH.
You, woman of God,are ENOUGH.
Let us be a generation that rises up into a true picture of manhood and womanhood by receiving the ownership of our IDENTITIES of sons and daughters of the King. And as we take ownership of all that we are in Him, we become men and women that real men and women are looking for.
