I realize that Valentine’s Day has come and gone. There are probably a lot of cheesy valentines in your trash can and a lot of red candy on clearance in your local grocery store.
Sadly, for many girls, Valentine’s Day was a depressing holiday because they don’t have a boyfriend…not for lack of trying, however.
I’ve seen so many girls try (and fail). They obsess about guys who are immature or lack character. They try to make the “just friends” charade work while hoping to become more than that. They pour out their hearts to guys who don’t love them (or even like them).
Society tells girls that they need boyfriends to be truly happy in life. Many girls buy into that lie and fight hard to make a relationship happen. They may seem happy when they start a relationship. But we can’t see the painful arguments and devastating breakups that occur behind the scenes.
I know it feels like everyone has a boyfriend except you. I completely get it. But is it worth pursuing a guy who’s not even interested in you? Will that truly help?
Christian guys have a calling to be the leader, the initiator, and the chaser. When we put ourselves out there for the taking, we’re not following our calling—and we’re distracting guys from their own calling.
Friends, let the guy come to you. If he’s the right guy for you, then you won’t have to rope him into a relationship. If you have to rope a guy into a relationship, then he isn’t worth your time. He may be cute, but that’s all he’s got going for him. He’s got a bad case of lazy and immaturity (and I’m pretty sure the remedy isn’t you). Don’t put your heart on the line and hope for the best because your precious heart will get crushed.
Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life. (Proverbs 4:23 NASB)
Your heart is precious, so don’t waste it. Save it for the right guy.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
