Romans 15

1 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 

2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 

3 For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

I hear you...

Remember:

●We cannot know how someone feels about us without spending time with them.

●We cannot read minds.

But, you can learn to read signals - somewhat. But, you must learn to read the most obvious ones first.

No one on this forum knows this young lady, but we can only surmise that she *might* like talking with you. She didn't try to change seats or run away, right? (That's a start.) Did she smile, look at you and listen (not look around or at her phone a lot)?

You're not going to absolutely know if she likes you or if you have a shot at her accepting your future invitation to lunch, etc. without risk.

                          

                                 -Risk-

                        

I'm sorry, that's just how it works. But, God is with you and you can ask Him for more wisdom and that He'll lead you two to His will.

Maybe it's His will or not that you should date - be open to either.

I emphasize risk because I've read that many guys today don't like that aspect of dating. But, it's just reality, sigh. Don't be too shy or too anything. Just be you, but if you feel God approves, take the plunge to ask her for her contact info or a simple date (coffee, lunch). Don't go for a fancy candlelight dinner right away, haha. (My first date with one guy lasted nine hours - wow! Too much... that should have been like, "date five" for me.)

Relax, don't think anyone can read her mind. Just talk to her the next time you see her. Pray. 

Also, you might want to read up on emotional intelligence (ei) - this is good for everyone!

Enjoy your day! God bless you!

@LoveJoyHope-lady Also there is the matter of whether the person allows the Word of God to search the heart.......... "I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings." (Jeremiah 17.10)

I think these are the verses for my dating situation:

 

John 21

3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 

5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 

6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.

 

I have tried dating apps and so on. Those never lead me anywhere. I am going to wait and see what God does with the Polish girl situation... 

@SIC Evangelism and catching a wife are rather different......

If a believer is active in testimony, then the motions of it merely to find a spouse are not going to work in the long run; there needs to be genuine testimony and exercise there that will continue regardless....

Some Christian conferences for young ppl seems to be thinly disguised matrimonial agencies.....

Hi,

Let me encourage you... From being, er, young-middle aged (ha!), please don't wait too long. 

Life moves quickly.

Then, these opportunities seem to thin out a lot, down to a scant wisp.

God can still bring about someone, but it seems rare. Of course, more people find love and matrimony in their 20s-30s.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
