Shannon, love can be confusing. But, praise God that His love is always perfect and true! I would encourage you to discuss your situation with your Mom and seek her counsel. As a woman who has experienced life in your culture, she knows what you’re going through. The goal of any relationship is for God to be glorified in it. So continue to test whether you are loving God “with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind” (Luke 10:27) in your relationship with the young man you’re attracted to.

Sometimes love can be confusing.
In my society love and dating is discouraged for teenagers.But as a natural thing we fall in love and I feel guilty and disobediant towards my parents when it is so. But what can i do if i really love someone. Is it a sin to be in love at times like this?

marriage is not a step like finishing high school andl then going to to college,
that’s why dating most of the time for not saying always is not healthy, emotionally ,phisically and spiritually we should start by praying for our (husband- wife) , as soon as we receive jesus and we should get involved in praying for this our parents brothers, pastors counselors,
believed God you will now when the time comes that she or he , is the one he wants for you.
do you now why? because God chossed for you

Marriage is like martyrdom. Until we are ready to die to single-hood, we are not ready to embrace marriage. Kudos for you to decide not to marry when you are not ready.

On the other hand, marriage requires faith. This faith is only possible in God’s strength. I learn this profound truth:

“In marriage, we give up our rights, and we take up our responsibilities.”

I understand this word, about wondering…
But God promises there is NOW no condemnation to those who are in Christ. Romans 8:1.

Sometimes, we have to realize, we have that gut instinct, because that is the Holy spirit speaking to us. So, I am sure you made the right decision.

God will guide you as you trust him….Proverbs 3:5

Thanks for sharing your heart with us Roxanne. We have to remind ourselves daily to be more “selfless.” No healthy relationship can flourish when one or both parties are “selfish.”

Jesus was our best example.

Thanks to each of you for your comments and

insights. If you’re like me, it’s hard to admit when

loving thoughts, words and actions don’t come

easily.

I thank God for His grace and forgiveness. I thank

Him, too, for calling and equipping us to

demonstrate deeper love for others (and

ourselves).

Loving others is easy when the person is loveable. God’s Love “Agape” love kicks in when the person is not so loveable. What is difficult or even impossible for us is made possible as we step away from our emotions or feelings which are so fickle and unreliable in favor of allowing God’s Agape Love to overshadow us and flow through us as vessels. We shouldn’t have to “try” to love others because that is of us and subject to our human weakness. Just be that channel of God’s Agape love by getting out of His way (our emotions) and allow ourselves to be used by God to show His love; not ours. We are not commanded to “like” everybody but we ARE commanded to Love them in Christ through His Agape love.
