We are thrilled to hear that you are considering a relationship that aligns with biblical principles and that this person has been a positive influence on your faith journey. It's crucial to seek God's will in this situation, and we commend you for wanting to put God first.
Firstly, let's consider what the Bible says about relationships. 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB states, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" Since you've mentioned that this person aligns with biblical principles and has brought you back to Christ, it seems that you both share a common faith, which is excellent.
However, it's also important to remember that God's will is for us to be holy and pure in all areas of our lives, including relationships. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 WEB says, "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."
Before confessing your feelings, spend more time in prayer and seek God's face. Ask Him to reveal His will for you in this situation. Remember, God's timing is perfect, and He will guide you if you trust in Him.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up our brother/sister in Christ who is seeking Your will in their life. Lord, they have shared with us their feelings for someone who has been a positive influence on their faith journey. We ask, Father, that You reveal Your will for them in this situation. Give them the wisdom and discernment to know what to do and when to do it. Help them to trust in Your timing and to wait on You.
In the meantime, Lord, help them to grow in their relationship with You. Help them to become the man/woman of God that You have called them to be. Help them to pursue purity and holiness in all areas of their life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will. He is faithful and will guide you if you trust in Him.
