Well it's that time of the year again, when people who are in love or are married go out to celebrate Valentines Day. I am not going to talk about why certain people only show love to each other one day out of the year, just because thats the theme of the day. Though what I am going to talk about is how the singles today need to know and believe that their is someone out their waiting for them. That they need to be patient, and wait for that special guy or girl that God has for them. Now I am not saying that we are to sit on our hands and wait for that person to walk into our lives. We are to look for that special someone, the best possible place to look for that man or woman of God is in the church. Whether it be during the regular service, a young adult group, or even a singles group. We also need to know the type of person that we are looking for and the type of person that God would want us to have, and not just rush into any relationship that opens up for us, or love anyone that will love us. When we are looking for that special someone, we need to know the biblical definition of Love from the Bible, which is from
1 Corinthians 3:4-7, which says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. This is what God says that Love is, and this is what we are to look for when we are looking for that special someone. Their are to many times in our lives, when we look at the outside appearance and not look at what is inside of the person that we are interested in. We all do that including myself, and I believe that we are to look at the person's heart to see the true inside of the person, and who the person is. That's what God told Samuel, when they were looking for King, and they decided to choose David as King, 1 Samuel 16:7 ESV,
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do
not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I
have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the
outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart." It may not have been a relationship situation, but I believe that we need to look for that special someone by doing what God did, and does, by looking at the heart, and than look for what they look like on the outside.
