Rules for Single Christian Women

This was a foreward sent to me a year ago or so. Wanted to share.

If you are not a single woman or even a woman at all, send this to your single women friends!


Rules for Single Christian Women

1. Pursue GOD & not a man. (Your first love relationship should be with HIM)
2. Self-Esteem & sense of wholeness' and security can ONLY come from
Christ.
3. Commit to the Lord your desire for a mate. (When GOD brings a hook-up it is for HIS glory and honor)
4. GOD is the perfect match maker
5. I must want God's will more than I want my way.
6. Don't be anxious to marry.
7. Go fishing in the right pond-Date Only Christian Men!
8. Know what you are looking for so when you see him you know him.
9. Consult GOD about the relationship.
10. Don't ignore potential warning signs & red flags and instincts.
11. Don't Marry Potential. ( Ask yourself: If he never changes can I live with that)
12. Ask GOD to reveal anything that is hidden. ( In other words ask GOD to search this brother out to make sure whom he says he is; he is)
13. Your fantasies and expectations can get you into trouble.
14. Remember if a man is interested HE WILL PURSUE YOU!

21. Know YOUR worth and act accordingly.
22. Remain Pure and honor GOD in your dating
23. Love can wait; Lust can not. (If you can wait until you are married it is love, if not, you are feeding on lust)
24. Beware of locking hips and lips.
25. You Never have to comprise your GODLY standards to get/keep a man that GOD has sent for you!
26. Guard your heart.
27. If you are the only one happy about the relationship; something is not right!
28. Don't go down the isle unless you have perfect peace.
29. While you are single concentrate more on inward than outward.
30. Make the most of what you have and the least of what you don't have.
31. Make the most of your singleness.
32. Develop qualities that you are looking for in a mate within yourself.
33. While you are waiting observe other HEALTHY CHRISTIAN marriages.
34. Marriage is not always the better state to be in.
35. The power that GOD has given to you, use it to influence others.

"Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19
