    Are you a Christian single woman who wants to be married to a godly man one day? If so, you may want to read my new book, Invite Him: 16 Rules from Ruth to Help Your Future Husband Find You: amzn.to/4eL0pjw

      Mark, you might want to take another look at the verse you quote at 3:31 of the video. You are quoting Isaiah 46:10-11 here, not 43:9-11 as you state in the video. Just a heads-up.

    EXACTLY what I needed to hear!!! Especially the very last part of it's not like a treasure map where if you make one wrong decision you're done for. I'm 22 and have made some poor financial decisions and now am in debt. I am paying it off right now and came across a godly women from church. We connected and everything but one thing concerning me is I cannot get married because of my $80k debt. I was concerned that I would miss this opportunity, but I will continue trusting in God and even if this relationship never happens, God is still good!

    Whenever I see some comments like "I'm 60 something and still single waiting on the Lord" or "I'm 50 something delighted in the Lord for a long time, but God hasn't brought me a godly spouse yet." on other Godly marriage related videos from someone else, it kind of discourages me. Certainly, I don't know how their actual walk with the Lord nor their plans God has for them. However, watching this video encourage me and to be reminded that God does care about us and takes care of our life. He knows the best! I pray that I have a faith like Ruth not expecting anything, but just letting God leads my life. Thank you Mark for the video!

      Yes, I fully agree, I get so discouraged knowing that there are people like this who've waited past their best years. It' so difficult to see and understand why God never allowed some people to have children and a family. What's the point of finding your spouse at 60 or 70 years old and get married anymore at that point. You won't even have your own father anymore there to walk you down the aisle and no one's going to hope, wish and pray for you to have children soon.
      Personally I don't even know if I'd want to get married anymore at that stage, it's like there wouldn't be any purpose for it anymore at that point so it takes away from the joy and hope of sharing life together and growing up together.
      But I still want to trust the Lord, but it's so difficult indeed.

      Relax. We’re fine and living our best life. We aren’t ‘waiting’ as if we know it’s coming in a specific package and we’re stuck in a reception room. Instead we are busy, involved, caring for others, learning, growing in faith. We trust but it’s not the most important thing in our lives. If it’s the most important thing then you’ve set it up as an idol and it will distract you from Gods purposes. Even worse you might rush into a marriage that’s not Gods purpose and I’ve seen too many of those.

      @saracrespo3671 8 дней назад +6

      My suggestion for you, since you seem to be aware that you are very attracted to him, is to have a chaperone that will hold both of you accountable and keep anything untoward from happening from either one of you. Avoiding being alone together is a great way to keep temptation from getting yall to cross a boundary. Remember that self-control is a fruit of the spirit thus we receive it freely, but sometime we can be influenced by other things. So i recommend you ask God if there is anything in your physical or spiritual life that is pushing your buttons to have certain thoughts or actions that are pushing boundaries (whether physical or fantasies in the mind). Sometimes the kinds of movies or music or conversations that we have or listen to (on poscasts or tiktok) can influence the patterns of thoughts in our mind, or our spiritual lives.

    I had the experience where God actually actively led me (via the Holy Spirit putting a love for that person in my soul) to pursue a relationship with a guy who had many qualities of "the one" (a perfect fit for me at that time in my life) that I desired (and most importantly, I felt peace and safety with him) but out of fear, pride and insecurity I "rejected" that offer and God closed that door. I was so worried I missed out on the one and would never find anyone again and be single forever. Thank God it's not too late.

      For me, realising I lost the person forever brought heart-break, guilt and pain. I also had to deal with a season of dryness (locust year), where I felt tired a lot and lacked spiritual vigour (aftermath of rebelling against God as I had rejected His Will of accepting that guy). I actually really liked that guy, but my insecurity was overwhelming. His lack of initiative triggered my desire to withdraw as a way to get him to be more proactive. I also felt he was out of my league, so I did all I could to boost my own accomplishments so that I could make myself feel better about myself. However, me withdrawing and avoiding him just caused us to grow further apart until God finally cut the spiritual bond between us.

      If you desire marriage, God put that desire there. Keep close to God, pour your heart out to Him and ask Him to give you peace while waiting and show you His choice for you. I know, it's easier said than done. Remember God cares about the little things too, there is nothing you cannot share with Him. Ask Him to help you not "Miss" what he's doing in your life now, and each moment. Sometimes a delay means God is working on you to prepare you for a spouse. He may be working on your spouse as well. May God bless you abundantly and quickly.

That is what I believe that scripture means . . . We're not predestined to have a certain life though he is aware of it . . . We are just predestined to have a certain outcome according to the ways that we choose to live 👍

      How do you know God took her away? Perhaps the woman failed on her end and went against God's plan by leaving you. Free will is a real problem. A similar situation happened to me last year. God blessed me with an opportunity with a special woman and she failed on her end. Remember this stuff happened in the Bible too. King Saul chosen by God failed on his end and had to be replaced with David. If you're meant to be married God will bring this woman back to you somehow or replace her with a better woman. You must pray and keep your eyes open for opportunities. ☝

      not watching a video and then making a wide judgement about people who watched the video . . . that's a great way to make an improper assessment

      If a man has desire for a woman then "It is not good for man to be alone" does indeed apply. Of course that doesn't mean the single man is destined for marriage but that's a whole different problem. 😎

    Don't let religion paralyze you. God will provide you the means to find your person in the same way he provides friends - by giving you intelligence, ability, and time. Go out. Learn a hobby. Approach people.
    But don't wait or expect there to be a perfect moment. There isn't and if you're waiting for the love of your life to spawn, you've been fed a paralyzing lie and need to take action to free yourself from it now.

      I did my part and ended up with nothing. If God wants somebody married He will MAKE it happen. Outside of punishment for continual sin a person can't miss God's calling for them. If a person is destined for marriage they will be influenced into doing what they need when they need to. These people that sit and wait have most likely been influenced into being passive because they are meant to be single forever. It's so simple when you truly understand that God controls everything. His plans can't be thwarted. 😎

    Not always his will to marry
    Staying single may be more
    Beneficial
    With the rapture so close and
    One taken one left situation
    Your partner may be left behind!

      That would only happen if a Christian married a non-Christian, which is forbidden.
