    Your comments have truly inspired me to cry out to the Lord and lift each one of you up in prayer. Whatever you're going through, I hope these responses remind you that you're not alone. God has a beautiful plan for every single one of you, and even though it may not make sense right now, one day it will. One day, you'll thank God for every closed door that didn't lead you closer to Him.
    I promise you, true fulfillment can only be found in Jesus. Obedience will never keep you from God’s plan; it will only protect you from the enemy’s traps. So, keep praying and seeking the Father. He is so worth it and deserves all the glory!
    Thank you all so much for your love, support, and for feeling vulnerable enough to use this as a safe space. God bless you all!

    I totally went through that spiritual warfare experiencing the same kind of feelings of rejection and abandonment. Although mine didn't work out, being my first serious relationship, God definitely led me closer to him, and I hope he does the same for the other person. I definitely learned to be careful of what I idolize in my life. Love this beautiful conversation.❤❤❤❤

    Me and my current partner have rekindled a purposeful relationship. There was a point where I was so far apart from God, and all she ever wanted was for me to have a relationship with him. We split 2 years ago in college and found each other again. I’d become closer to Jesus and in that period we grew together equally yoked and intentional.

      I’m praying for you, beautiful! I’ve been where you are, and I know how hard it can be. Fix your eyes on Jesus. When He becomes your number one, I promise, things in your life will start to look different. It may not always be easier, but you will grow stronger and better. You’ll begin to change, and it’s the best thing that can happen to anyone.
      Ask God to reveal Himself to you, not because of anyone else, but simply because He deserves it. I believe in you, and no matter the outcome, God’s plan is always better.

    This is so encouraging to hear as someone who is currently going through her first serious relationship ending. I ended it for those sort of reasons too, and not at all from a lack of love for him. If anything God asked me to surrender him and the relationship and it HURT. But part of me hopes and prays that once God has done the work on him, one day we will get back together.

The fight, making the other your idol, not having God at the center, leading him, praying to God, breaking up the next day in the morning, the playlist, etc. your guys testimony is similar to mine. I'm 19, seeking God more, after breaking up with my ex a few months ago. Rn Idk what God is gonna do in our lives, but I trust Him because He knows what's best for me.

    wow I relate so much with you both as far as her trying to get him to be more spiritual. I was with a boy and he believed in God and did bible plans with me but I was the one leading it and I was the one who who read my bible and be close with God no matter if he was with me or not. where he only did because I was. and I prayed God would remove him from my life and he did. but now it is super heavy in my life that this could be Gods plan for him to come back later when the timing is right. so I just been praying for hours each day that he will accept God into his life. and that we will be brought back together because I have so much love for him.
    he has also told me that I brought him to have a closer relationship with God, so I have faith

    This video is a blessing! I’ve realized a lot since my last breakup. In my quiet time, God has continued to reveal things about myself that he wants to work on. I’ve also realized that the Lord needs to remain at the center of the relationship for it to flourish. When we broke up it felt like the Lord was calling us closer to Him. I’m surprised to hear some Christian couples telling their story and mentioning that they broke up before the Lord brought them back together. It’s encouraging. I continue to pray that His will be done!

    As much I wanna wish that my ex would change and get closer to the Lord I truly can’t do anything and it pisses me off to the point where i’ve grown resentful toward my ex that he just doesn’t care about anything. I have no hope for him coming to the Lord. I kinda hate watching testimonies like this (not that I hate yall or anything) but it just discourages me so much. I feel hopeless that I won’t find anyone. I also thought the Lord confirmed that he’d be my husband and vice versa to my ex but how things look we both are just not yoked.

      The fruits of the spirit is hope not hopelessness, don’t speak that over your life love. Go back to the Bible, read the stories again. Ask God for His Will and stand in faith believing regardless of what you see. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God but you also need to renew your mind and decide that you will function according to the guidance of God because this world is filled with things meant to discourage us, we rely on sight but God has called us to do the opposite. Read Romans 4, this has helped me. Much love

    About to listen to your video, because we have broken up still having feelings for each other. But he needed to figure out what he wanted from God and from life, where he was heading basically. I pretty much knew for myself already, but we missed each other somewhere. We still are in contact and talking once in a while, and he started being mentored and coached by my pastor. He wanted to move to my city still after the break up. Motoves might habe changed, so he is not doing that because of me but because of what he recognized God wants to do and is already doing in his life. But I gave up my feelings and my dreams, hopes and wishes concerning him and let God take over. Totally at peace and open to God writing out story.

He wants to elope just so he can have sex. It sounded good at first, but it sounds sleazy. Our official date is in 8 months. I told him lets wait on our actual day bc it will be sonsoecial and so rewarding bc we've put God first. Now I'm backing out, i apolgized to him for lying.

      Hi friend! What a great question!
      I don’t know the answer for sure of course, but I do know that The Lord has given us free will to decide who we want to spend our lives with, but the Bible also says that although we can do anything, it is not always wise to do so. How do we know if being with someone is wise? I would say by looking at God’s Word and seeing if your relationship reflects Him. Is it loving, patient, and kind as described in 1 Corinthians? Does it draw you closer to Christ or further away from Him? Does that person encourage you to become more like Jesus? Or do they lead you into temptation? No one is perfect, but a person who is trying, praying, hopeful, and pursuing who God created them to be, is everything.
      I hope this could help! Keep praying and I truly believe that The Holy Spirit will reveal it to you more than I ever could. God bless you!
