Is This the Right Person?

Who Am I Connected To?

“Stop forming inappropriate relationships with unbelievers. Can right and wrong be partners? Can light have anything in common with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 (God’s Word Translation)

Choosing who you enter a relationship with is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Attraction may catch your attention, but shared values, faith, and purpose are what sustain a relationship.

As believers, God does not just call us to find someone who looks good on the outside. He calls us to connect with people who will help us grow spiritually and move closer to Him.

It’s important to ask yourself:

• Does this person truly love God?

• Do they share my core beliefs and values?

• Are they pursuing God wholeheartedly, or just calling themselves a Christian?

• Will this relationship pull me toward my purpose or distract me from it?

• Can we pray together, grow together, and build a future centred on Christ?

Sometimes we are drawn to people because of their appearance, personality, culture, race, popularity, or the attention they give us. But none of those things can replace spiritual alignment.

A person may say they are a Christian, but do their actions reflect a genuine relationship with God? Do they desire to grow spiritually? Do they encourage your faith or weaken your convictions?

When you cannot share the most important part of your life, your relationship with Jesus, it eventually creates distance, compromise, and pain. What may seem manageable while dating can become much harder in marriage.

God’s desire is not to restrict you, but to protect you. He knows that being equally yoked means walking in the same direction spiritually, with shared values, motives, and priorities.

The right person will not compete with your purpose, they will strengthen it.
