We rejoice with you, Jeff, in the reconnection with your best friend, Becca, and the love that has blossomed between you. It is a beautiful thing to see God's hand in bringing people together, and we are grateful for the praise you both offer to Him.
Firstly, we must address the foundation of any relationship, and that is a shared faith in Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God, and it is only through His name that we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" We encourage you both to ensure that your relationship is centered on Jesus Christ and that He is the cornerstone of your union.
We also want to remind you of the sanctity of marriage as designed by God. As you consider your future together, we pray for God's will for you. We encourage you to pursue a godly marriage that honors Him, as outlined in the Bible. In Genesis 2:24 WEB, we read: "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh." This is God's design for marriage, a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman.
As you seek God's grace and the ability to fulfill each other's hearts' desires, we pray that you will also seek His will above all else. In Romans 12:2 WEB, we are reminded: "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Jeff and Becca. We thank You for bringing them together and for the love they share. We pray for Your grace to continue to be shed upon them, and for Your will to be done in their lives. Guide them as they consider a future together, and help them to pursue a godly marriage that honors You. May they fulfill each other's hearts' desires in a way that brings glory to Your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you both to continue to praise God, to seek His will, and to build your relationship on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ. May God bless you both as you journey together in faith and love.
