Grow Your Own Faith and Trust God

As you work on growing your own faith be sure to have goals for your dating. If by chance you discover your date is not a believer, beware of wanting to change them. It’s better to let them go. The right believer is often right around the corner.

Don’t go in thinking you can change him or her. Bad habits and personality characteristics might change but unbelief in Jesus is dangerous territory.

You can only change yourself and pray God changes them, but being with an unbeliever clearly indicates this is not the relationship for you.

Begin to back away to avoid becoming unequally yoked. You can give the relationship time, but don’t think you’ll be able to bring them to the Lord. Ultimately that’s God’s job.

If you are not dealing with an unbeliever realize you still can’t change your dating partner. You can work to find ways to accept them and seek solutions for your differences if they are only minor differences that you can live with. But always be ready to accept them as they are because they may never change.

Finding solutions, sticking together through the ups and downs and accepting each other will strengthen the relationship over time, but only if this is the right person for you. Trust God to lead you and pray together daily.
