We’ve all seen it—those Pinterest-perfect relationships that make you sigh and whisper, “God when?” 😩💭 Cute baecations, morning coffee runs together ☕, inside jokes that feel like a secret language. Everywhere you turn, it’s couple goals season, and if you’re single (or stuck in a situationship 🙃), it can feel like God is taking His time with your love story.
But in this era of soft life and high expectations, how do you balance waiting on God’s timing with the reality of dating? How do you find someone who will baby you when necessary?🥺💖
Love vs. Lust ❤️🔥
Let’s be real—social media has done a number on how we view love. These days, it’s easy to confuse attraction with genuine connection. But biblical love—1 Corinthians 13-style—isn’t just about butterflies and aesthetic pictures 📸.
It’s about patience, kindness, and commitment even when the vibes aren’t vibing 🤷🏽♀️.
Before you start praying for a soft life relationship, ask yourself:
🤔 Am I ready for the responsibility that comes with love, or do I just want the highlights?
The “God When?” Struggle is Real, But So is His Timing ⏳🙇🏽♀️
We’ve all been there—watching another proposal video 💍, getting that “I’m getting married!” text from a friend, or scrolling through cute couple TikToks thinking, “So, Lord… what’s up?” 😭
But here’s the thing—God isn’t just interested in giving you a relationship; He’s preparing you for one. He’s more invested in your wholeness than your relationship status.
📖 Psalm 37:4 — “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
Maybe the wait isn’t about punishment—it’s about preparation. 🛠️
Standards vs. Reality 🤝
Let’s talk expectations. We all want someone who:
💬 Prays like Apostle Paul
💰 Has the financial wisdom of Dave Ramsey
🔥 Looks like Damson Idris (or Genevieve for the guys 😍)
But while it’s okay to have standards, it’s also important to be realistic.
💡 Are you willing to be the kind of person you’re praying for?
Sometimes, the delay isn’t because God is slow—it’s because He’s still shaping both you and your future partner. 🏗️
Faith, But Also Wisdom 🙏🏽+🧠 = ❤️
Faith without works is dead—even in relationships. If you want a God-centered love life, you have to be intentional!
🔒 Guard your heart
🛑 Set boundaries
✅ Choose wisely
Not every “Hey, beautiful” is a sign from God, and not every delay means you’re destined for eternal singleness. Trust God, but also use wisdom. Balance! ⚖️
What Now? 🤷🏽♀️
So, what’s the move?
While you’re waiting for the one, focus on becoming the one. 🔥 Build your relationship with God, chase your purpose, and enjoy your single season.
Because trust me—when the time is right, and God writes your love story, it’ll be better than anything you could’ve ever imagined. ✨
💡 Challenge for the week: Instead of saying “God when?”, say “God, I trust You.” Shift your focus from waiting to preparing, and watch how things change. 🚀
