You Can Live Without That Boy.

Here's the post I feel most girls can relate to. You like a boy, and you like him a lot. He seems to have everything you want, maybe you desperately want to be with him, maybe you ARE with him. Here are some things to remember.

1. God should ALWAYS be number one.
-Can't live without him like how you can't live without God? Can't live without him UNLIKE how you can live without God? Problem. One, you can't put God and this boy on the same playing field, because they're not. Two, believing you can't live without any person in any circumstance is severely damaging. You're making an idol out of them, and that's a sin. They will never be able to satisfy you like God can. At one point or another, that boy will let you down--God never will. Keep that in mind.

2. It is our responsibility to flee temptation.

-If we are in a predicament where we are spending more time and more energy on something other than God, we need to set ourselves apart from it until we are ready to handle the situation in accordance to God's will--We need to make sure HE is priority. This is how we can grow personally, and we can also set an example to for others.

^"But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses."
-1 Timothy 6:11-12
