So true. So beautiful.

Trust me best feeling world. When you look at the person you know you have such unconditional love ❤️ for them

I want a love like that as well

+cookies sanapanya Guys guys, no person can have unconditional love unless it's God's love through them, and we are all loved by God, so we are all loved unconditionally but mos of us dont see it or feel it because we feel the need to have intamacy with a physical human being. We should seek God in relationships peeps! awesomeness

#relationshipgoals

Amen. So true.

Sooooooo true. Thank you for this!

Amen!!! Though God is able to bring a peaceful end to relationships that aren't His plan for us. That was a prayer of mine towards the end of a relationship, which he answered. We just have to be careful to actually let things go when God says so. And I'm marriage case, pray His will and seek it! For longevity and Biblical success!!!

in* marriage case

CurlyPenny just had to say this..... death is another ending.... but i guess that counts as heartbreak. wasnt sure who else thought of that

Steven Bowser I think at the same time that women should as well put all the cards on the table so to speak. Both men and women need to be honest and transparent

❤️

Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Thanks Jeff!

Enjoyed it as usual. Thanks for sharing and for offering insight into your grace filled life :)

Nice shirt!! :D

i can't wait for the next video, right now we are planning to finally make a home! and I'm so excited but as well nervous of wanting everything to be perfect and not just beautiful life!!!

Amazing! I am so excited for all the great things coming this year! I already have your book and can't wait for Alyssa's!!

How often does that actually happen though? There has to be a romantic vibe otherwise you'll end up just being friends. Of course there is a friendship dynamic to a relationship but there has to be more to it.

I don't agree with you. A lover is someone that is there for you, supports you, loves you and cares about you. If you date with the mindset that "It's just an experience for now.", that means you don't see a future with them. Experiences are alright, but I want to experience things in other domains, and when things go wrong, at least I know someone will always be by my side, and they're not an "experience" too. It's a little bit offensive for the ones that never had a lover and are trying to find the right person. That's just my opinion though, and it's important to date someone with a similar view of life as you.

No doubt about it. If He's at the center of both lives, He'll be at the center of their dating.

PureDating Amen!

You heard it's not possible for what? People no longer celibate?

I was the same position as you were...and I recommend you reading "Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God's Will" It's was such a eye opener and it answers questions like yours! Best wishes. x

so do you believe God won't meet your desires?

Terrell Harris It is not that I do not believe that God will not or cannot meet my desires. It is a question of how to accept and deal with what you desire not being in God's will for your life. We all have desires and wants, that does not mean that they fit into what God wants for us.

In Romans I believe, Paul touches on this subject. (Or Peter or something...I will find the exact reference and repost if I remember) This guy (paul or peter again, not sure) states that it is very hard to remain single and that if you can do it props to you. He says that it is good to remain celibate (spelling?) and that if you do keep in mind that you will be tempted your entire life. Again I am just paraphrasing but I will do my best re-post what the Bible says on this topic.

Ok, thank you. I'll research myself as well

I love the quote Jeff used at the beginning. :)

yes most def and I like how the point was made to know that when dating you should always have in mind if you want to go with the next level with this person which is marriage.

Patrick Neal Exactly. If you cannot see yourself spending the rest of your life with that person, there's no reason to waste your time or theirs. I have never been a fan of just dating just to date (also known as serial dating).

you know whats funny ive heard that term serial dating and when I heard of it I thought about actual box cereal that ppl eat everyday and when they done with it or don't like it they move to another brand and that can go with most ppl out dating now lol don't ask how this stuff comes to mind lol

same thing

I fully agree.

what is the difference! can explain??

Hey tidalwave71 when you look at all the love stories in the bible that mention marriage, not when one cheats or one sleeps with prostitute, there were no dating phase. There was no need to break up and then say ok we will not be together . They all saw Gods will for each other,pursued each other and married. What is Dating? Dating is engaging with the opposite or same sex(homosexuality=sin) without an expected end. You don't know if you'll marry but you are just hanging out with emotional and many other benefits, as far as one chooses to go. Spends a ton of time alone which presents a ton of temptations Family most times isn't as involved Foreplay, not going all the way, going all the way, "test driving each other" No clear purpose-- just a lot of conditional dating & confusion on "where is this relationship going??!) Plays house. Calls each other wifey & hubby & does husband & wife like things but has no commitment There's still a option to date others, ya'll aren't totally sold & still "trying each other out" So what is courting? How can it be explained and done in the 21st century? Takes the position that the two people have no physical contact at all (no touching, no hand-holding, no kissing) until marriage. Many in a courtship relationship will not spend any time together unless family members, preferably parents, are present at all times. Courting couples state up front that their intentions are to see if the other person is a suitable potential marriage partner. Courtship allows for the two people to truly get to know each other in a more platonic setting without the pressures of physical intimacy or emotions clouding their view.

Janet Songonuga ahhh! that was useful, thanks! ^_^ might have needed to hear some of that :)

+joelercoaster I could be wrong, but I think I saw in another video that they broke up themselves while they were dating and then got back together.

+joelercoaster In Alyssa's book Spoken for she talks about how she felt led to break-up with him, and they did.

I watched your video about not wearing tattoo's. I don't eat meat or have tattoos and my name is GRACE

+Priscila Palma Hey, girl! If you are looking for more Christian advice/beauty/lifestyle youtubers, check out my brand new channel! Let me know what you think! And if you are scared to date, maybe you aren't ready, and that is totally ok!

face ignored.

@ Jmop74, lol...you made my day....hahahaha...talking about "ignore my face" lol you are hilarious. You have a blessed day. I wish you and your girl the best. Peace :)

***** :) thats what its all about making peoples day!!!!!

***** Amen and Amen! I hear you. You certainly did made my day yesterday and I thank you for it. May you be blessed always.

what questions are you looking to have answered?

Why not just ask your pastor? Jeff isn't the only knowledgeable christian in this world. He's just one guy with hundreds of thousands of viewers/subscribers. With that many people following him, his email is most likely flooded daily by the hundreds. I'd probably be overwhelmed by the amount of questions coming in if I were in his position.

ydnicydni ***** i dont actually have questions i have done my own research and my relationship with jesus is wonderful but instead of him uploading videos regarding his book or miscellaneous things it would be much more beneficial for people who actually do have questions to answer common problems.. hes initial videos and the reason he has a big following was due to him answering the common issues with christians, he has a great platform with so many viewers and i just dont think he realizes the position and power he has

Let's stop judging the work of others and think about doing some work ourselves. You found the questions weren't answered, DID YOU UPLOAD ANY VIDEO TO ANSWER THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS? I am pretty sure NO! because if you did, then you wouldn't have so much spare time as to criticise. God bless

Love God you clearly missed the point

***** That last part is really all that needs to be said, I just don't feel like marriage is the greatest thing I'll accomplish in life. So putting it in such high regards seems absurd to me. Similar to if I were to say "If you eat meat without the intention to workout after words, you're just wasting the protein that someone else could've used."

Marriage is a calling not everyone is called to. But dating is pointless if not intending to get married. Just be friends and have fun.
