Day 3: Boundaries in Dating

MAIN SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) 23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

DEVOTIONAL:

In the search for love and companionship, it's very important to set healthy boundaries. Just as the Bible guides us to guard our hearts, setting boundaries in dating is a way to protect ourselves and honour God.

Dating is a journey filled with hopes, dreams, and sometimes uncertainties. In this journey, boundaries act as protective fences, making sure that our relationships are rooted in respect, love, and mutual understanding. These boundaries can involve emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of our lives.

Sharing your heart with someone is a beautiful experience, but it's important to pace yourself. By setting emotional boundaries, you are making sure that you are sharing your feelings and experiences at a pace that is comfortable and respectful to both parties.

Physical boundaries are crucial in dating relationships. Honouring God with our bodies means understanding the sacredness of physical intimacy and ensuring that such boundaries align with God's teachings.

Your relationship with God is your guiding light. In dating, it's important to find a partner who shares your faith and encourages your spiritual growth.

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the wisdom to understand the importance of boundaries. Guide us in our relationships to establish boundaries that honour You and protect our hearts. May our relationships be a reflection of Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
