Sisters in Christ: Trusting the Holy Spirit Over Friends and Social Media in Dating Decisions


Dear Sisters, in our journey as Christian singles, we often encounter various forms of advice and opinions when a man expresses interest in us. Friends and social media might offer their perspectives on how to handle such situations, but as followers of Christ, our ultimate guide should be the Holy Spirit. 

When a man approaches you with the intention of dating, it’s natural to seek advice from those around you. Friends and social media platforms can be valuable resources, but they should not replace the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, who dwells within us, is our direct connection to God’s wisdom and understanding. 

Before seeking external opinions, spend time in prayer, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance. Your relationship with God is deeply personal, and He knows your heart and the desires He has placed within it. The Holy Spirit can provide clarity and peace, helping you discern whether this man’s intentions align with your values and God's plan for your life.

Social media and friends can offer a range of perspectives, but they often reflect personal biases or societal trends rather than spiritual insight. While their input might be well-meaning, it can sometimes lead to confusion or distract you from what God is telling you. Instead, turn to prayer and listen for the quiet promptings of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will guide you in how to approach the man expressing interest. Whether you feel led to engage in deeper conversation or politely decline his proposal, the Holy Spirit’s guidance will be rooted in love, wisdom, and respect. Trusting in this divine direction ensures that your actions are aligned with God’s purpose for you, rather than merely responding to external pressures or trends.

Remember that your interactions and decisions should reflect your faith and integrity. If you feel uncertain or conflicted, seek God’s guidance through prayer and scripture. The Holy Spirit will help you navigate these moments with grace and clarity, leading you towards relationships that honor God and align with His plan for your life.

In your journey of dating, let the Holy Spirit be your primary advisor. By doing so, you ensure that your decisions are not swayed by the fleeting opinions of others but are firmly grounded in spiritual truth and divine wisdom.

May you find peace and direction through the Holy Spirit as you navigate the complexities of dating, and may your interactions be a reflection of God’s love and purpose in your life in Jesus Name.

Hope Expression celebrates you.
