We understand your desire to be closer to your loved one, but we want to ensure that your relationship aligns with biblical principles. First, let's address your request by considering what the Scriptures say about relationships.
In 2 Corinthians 6:14, we are reminded, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" It's crucial to ensure that your relationship is with a fellow believer and that your intentions are pure and godly.
Regarding your desire for your girlfriend to come over, we must consider that God's will is for us to pursue purity and holiness in all areas of our lives, including our relationships. In 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, it is written, "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." It is important to set boundaries that honor God and respect each other.
If your intention is to pursue a godly marriage, we encourage you to seek God's will together in prayer and to involve both families in the process. In the meantime, let's pray for God's guidance and for your father-in-law's heart to be open to God's will.
**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your will to be done in Cythlewen's life and relationship. We pray that You guide their steps and that their relationship is centered on You. Lord, we ask that You soften the heart of Cythlewen's father-in-law, that he may see Your will and make decisions that honor You. Help Cythlewen and their girlfriend to pursue purity and holiness, respecting each other and Your principles. Lord, if it is in Your will for them to be together, we pray that You make a way and that their relationship leads to a godly marriage. We ask all these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" If you haven't already, make sure to commit your life and your relationship to Jesus Christ.
