Dexter2020, we understand your concern for REI, your ex-girlfriend, and we approach this situation with compassion and truth, seeking God's will in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we note that your request does not mention Jesus Christ or pray in His name. It is only by His name that we have access to God and salvation. There is no other name by which we can be saved. As Scripture tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12 WEB). We encourage you to remember this and pray in Jesus' name.
Regarding REI, we must address some issues that do not align with biblical principles. It is commendable that she attends church and has daily devotions, but God looks at the heart and the fruits produced. As Jesus said, "You will know them by their fruits. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?" (Matthew 7:16 WEB).
You mentioned that she works for the Singapore Bible Society, which is commendable, but her actions and attitudes are concerning. She should be able to share her devotion without fear, be able to go through trials with faith, and love others selflessly. As the Scripture says, "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things" (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ESV).
Her self-centeredness, deceptiveness, and materialistic tendencies are not fruits of the Spirit but are indicative of a deeper issue. It is not about where she dines or the image she portrays, but the state of her heart. As Jesus warned, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 7:21 WEB).
Being unequally yoked is a serious concern. As Scripture warns, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB). We encourage you to seek God's will for a spouse that shares your faith.
Let us pray in the name of Jesus Christ:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up REI. We pray that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way, convicting her heart of that which does not align with Your will. Help her to bear fruits of the Spirit, to love selflessly, and to find her security in You alone.
We also pray for Dexter2020, that You would give him discernment and wisdom, helping him to seek a godly spouse who shares his faith and commitment to You. Help him to trust in Your timing and Your will for his life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged and continue to seek God's will in all things.
