Verse:   Luke 9:23

Many Christian daters are very pleased that we appear to be returning to a more `normal’ lifestyle and hugging with caution is permitted. However, we need to be cautious and still follow common sense. There are still guidelines that we have to follow rather than the strict rules of the last few years during lockdown.

The same applies to your Christian lifestyle. It is up to you if you follow the Lord. No-one is forcing you and it is completely up to you how committed you are and how close you want to be in your Christian walk.

There are still rules with regard to travel and which country will allow us in. We do not have a free reign in our life. The Lord has requirements to a relationship with Him. All relationships have rules and so does society in general. If those rules are not considered and obeyed on 121Christiandating.com then your relationship will not succeed and thrive. Online dating has rules and to be successful we need to be considerate to those rules. So, returning to `normal’ will still have rules of respect caution and kindness and these rules apply to 121Christiandating.com just as they apply to your relationship with the Lord.

Then HE said to them all: ‘Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me.’

We have the joy and the honour of following God with all our hearts. This applies to our human relationships too. This often involves making sure our priorities are correct. Respect and faithfulness are very important. Often the regrets we have in life come from pursuing the wrong things. In the end, all that will matter is, did we know Him and did we follow Him.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to be distracted by all that the world has to offer. May I never forget that my purpose is to follow You and to live the life You have called me to live. I choose to follow You and Your ways. Amen.
