Many singles fall into the trap of speed—wanting love to happen quickly rather than allowing it to grow naturally. But anything built in haste rarely lasts. Proverbs 19:2 warns, “Desire without knowledge is not good—how much more will hasty feet miss the way!” Love that honors God is patient, intentional, and built with wisdom.
Rushing relationships often leads to confusion and heartbreak. True love requires time—time to observe values, build trust, and confirm purpose alignment. When you slow down, you see beyond attraction and emotions into character and calling. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Relationships, too, have seasons—discovery, growth, testing, and maturity.
Take your time to pray, to listen, and to discern. Let God lead, not your emotions. The right person will complement your purpose, not compete with it. Focus on building a friendship before a romance. A steady foundation produces lasting connection. Waiting doesn’t mean wasting—it means trusting. And in that patience, God writes stories that time cannot erase.
