I know you're probably wondering how in the world this is a good thing, but it is. A few weeks ago, my youth pastor, Justin, taught a lesson on Esther 1. He got really passionate about how we shouldn't be wasting our time with dating and relationships (boy-girl). I felt convicted the entire time because my lady-friend and I were not very equally yoked.
After that youth group, my brother came up to me, sarcastically, and told me that this message was for me. It was. All the way. That night, I prayed that if God wanted it to be over, for Him to take over and work his awesomeness.
The next day, she called me saying that it wasn't working. For her sake, I will leave out the details, but basically, she had just stopped liking me.
-Prayer works.
A problem arose when I started being sarcastic to her and talking smack about her at school. The next week at youth group, we talked about Christ-like love. Those dang youth group messages are like aimed at me on purpose. I, that night, committed to go apologize to her and start being respectful for her, and watching her back. So far, I've been fairly successful.
The morals of this post are 1) Don't waste your time with girls or guys right now. God wants so much for your life. 2) Prayer works. 3) Christ-like love does not involve talking smack to people.
