Here is a question. Why do we want people to be all we want them to be when it comes to dating them?
Here is another question. Why do people need to pass tests to be considered "worthy" in regards to dating?
Don't like that one, here is another. Is the standard we set for our potential mates God centric or our carnal imaginations.
Why did I ask those questions?
Honestly, I dont know. They just seem to need to be asked. Its up to you and I to perhaps answer the question.
Dating potential. Lets cut the poppycock. Does this person I am dating have a considerable future? Money, ministry, etc.
Money isn't everything but its a whole lot of consideration. Think about your own financial status. Will it qualify you or disqualify you?
Let be transparent, I have been disqualified by some women standards. Yes, I have education. Some more than the women I am talking about. I have a title and serve in my local church. I am well known in the gates. I have written and published two books, so far. I have only one daughter. Yet, since I dont make a lot of money. I do not rate in some women's eyes. I have a lot of potential. Yet it works against me in some ways. If I had a six figured job, I am sure my stock would rate higher.
Money isn't everything but more than anything that rates. Interesting indeed. Why do I bring up this? Well, many guys face the same problem. How do I solve my problem? I keep moving forward. Its a numbers game. Some will be all spiritual and say that they are waiting on the LORD. Nothing wrong with that, but if you do not get out and meet people. Your mate isnt coming or even going to recognize you.
So what about Jer 29:11?
Well, its simple. God has a thought toward each of us that is good and with that thought comes an expectancy to be greater than before. Why do we not look at each other the same way? Can we even do it. We always talking about how we should look at each other, the way God sees us. However, in relationships. It does not fly. Some are against dating someone who has not made it yet according to our standards. You have a right and the ability to make the decision. I cannot help but wonder are we throwing away our blessings? Just a thought. What are we really seeing and how do we see really?
