How to Guard Your Heart When You Have a Crush (4 Christian Relationship Tips)

But what if am not inlove with the person he wants for me? What if l am not connected emotionally and intimately with the person he wants for me?.
What if I have strong connection for the person he does not want for me?

Great video!

I really want to be married, I pray about it, but are there signs that maybe that's not His will ?

Thank you very much. Been looking for these types of advice. The 1st way to guard your heart is really on point.

Best way to "guard your heart" is to never talk to anyone.

This guy is so very confusing…. Don’t pray to be with this person that you like!
I check every aspect that relate to my bf in these videos, both pros and cons are checked. Very confusing!
Which is it???

“There is a time for the head and a time for the heart. True wisdom comes when you know when to use what.”

My life verse: Above all else , guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
Proverbs 4:23

Amazing

We don't need God in relationships because it's not working, let us do what we know that it works for real.

I think this was pretty helpful for my situation. Thank you!🙏🏽

Thank you so much brother for such a wonderful video. It's a real word in season. I have been applying 3 of the tips you have already shared since I discovered I liked a Christian brother, but I felt that you expounded what you were saying in such a way that it was affirmed in my Spirit that this is the way I should go. I especially liked the first tip on accepting your feelings withy assuming you will be together and also praying that God would reveal if this was the person He has in store for me as I proactively seek to know them. Thank you so much again. I will definitely share this

I was with my ex girlfriend for almost 7 months recently. At the beginning of our relationship, I was trying not to get attached to her and was trying to keep my independence. Later, I started getting really comfortable with her and loved her a lot. We had hopes of getting married and starting a family one day. She was the best friend I ever had and now she’s gone. Everything felt so right with her. Now everything feels so pointless and hopeless.

Amen ask god.😊

I have a hard time tempering my emotions and just everything. I go all in or don’t. And I definitely feel like mine, and the good friend of mine’s lives are intertwined, however, it’s very hard to grapple with the reality that she might not be the one. Because I believe that if our paths and Destiny’s are intertwined it should be in marriage. Because she is an a practicing Christian and I’m not gonna say I am the end all be all pinnacle of being a Christian man because I am 100% not. But I feel as if it is part of my existence is to bring her closer to God. But it is extremely hard to grapple with that because I really do like her a lot. And as I stated before, I believe in doing things wholeheartedly, and unfortunately, that also means that if I like someone I want to more than likely spend the rest of my life with them. It’s just extremely hard to temper the heart with logic sometimes.

Thank you for clearing the difference between 'Being interested' Vs 'Being infatuated'. May God bless your ministry, Mark

Perfect 👍

Guard your heart from being broken. Been there done that wayyyyy to many times. Restraint, don't force a solution, and let God's will be done. Remember Eve. When she was made and ready for Adam, God brought her to him. Adam didn't have to go out and get her. Patience my brothers. Be there for her, let her know she is above and beyond anyone you have ever met before and let her know you are always her for her. Let her come to you in her own time.

AMEN ✝️

You have no idea how much i needed this

Okay, no expectations, can I be hopeful about wanting us to be together. Reveal to both of us Father God when you brought us together whether it's your will for us to have a relationship that will glorify you Genesis 2:18 - I pray boldly I want it only if you made us for each other and thus you want to open the door for us. Amen

Pray, asking God for someone is very dangerous. Read Luke 11:4-8, then note that a shorter version of the Lord's prayer is above it. That version does not include the line, "Your will be done." If you pray repeatedly without submitting to God, you may receive what you ask, but it is likely it will not be His best He has for you. It may be a trial you have to endure, because you are not submitting to God's will.

I need some help. I don't know what to do after what just happened to me. I have a friend girl and I have a crush on her. Little did I know her friend has a crush on me. Actually I have always noticed that this girl likes me, the way her mannerism is different towards me. One night I'm chatting with the friend of my crush (the three of us are friends just to make it clear), we're giving each other hints on what they're crush looks like. She said hints that literally fits me and I told hints that fit her friend. Eventually, she tried to guess that it was her friend, I confessed that I like her friend. And here where it started. I knew that I have hurted her. I don't know what to do. She is a sweet girl, who believes in God, I felt guilty. She doesn't show that she's hurt, but I know that after that conversation she felt cold towards me. And another huge thing, I feel like, I don't how to say this in other way but, I feel like I developed feelings for her (my crush's friend). I don't know what to do. It just hits me afterward how much of a good person she is, something that I really look for in a future partner. I'm not saying that my crush is a bad person is that we're so different, my crush doesn't believe really believe in God (I'm sorry I developed feelings towards not of same faith), and the way we act is polar opposite, I guess that is what I liked in my crush, polar attracts. I need help, I want to be friends with her again. Or maybe we can't go back to being friends? I just don't know what to do, with my feelings also. I need an advice.

The heart is a wicked and deceitful thing, and who knows it. 😮

Thank you!

You truly are a wise man.Your advice opened my eyes.

Too late no one will ever measure up to him.

Here I thought I was walking in faith. But... I just got my hopes up too high. It truly does make a heart sick. But even now I keep hoping.. and hoping and hoping .
Pray for me please.

This video helps so much! It’s so hard to find that balance so this really helps!

¿What age should Christians date?

Yes, asking God if this person that you are dating is the one. Is a very sound principle.

Many years ago, I was dating a lovely young woman I had met at a new job.
We were going stready, and the church could see a future for us. We really wanted to be together.
I asked her to marry me and she accepted.

That night, I prayed about it and gave it to God.
I had a dream where we were married and in the house we were living in, I was living upstairs, and she was living downstairs. I heard a voice in the dream say, "This what it would be like this if you marry her."

I apologised to her in person and told her that I was sorry that I can't marry you. She wasn't even sad to my surprise but told me that she had been seeing someone else behind my back as a backup plan.
She had also kept a massive secret from me. She had been previously married and had six children.

She had led me on from day one, and because of my closeness with the Lord, I clearly heard from him and acted on his instruction! Saving me from a potential disaster.

I also plan on setting up some boundaries with the person I like because I don't feel that the feeling is reciprocated. So no hugs or hanging out for fun just church stuff and evangelizing together essentially.

This video was awesome and really helpful because now I get to calm down and trust in the Lord for the confirmation while I get to know this person. Also while watching this video, a question just popped out in my head and the question was, as a Christian is flirting wrong even both of us like each other? (This is just an example)*

Thankyou brother thankyou God love u ❤

All you said is easier said than done.

I’m a Christian pringle

Thank you very much Mark, I believe these steps will help me a lot in my journey 😌

The fact that I had multiple crushes on many and I have learned from them none where successful. That this go round I have truly learned how to guard my heart.
This video served as confirmation that this time I am finally doing this right. I have the crush on the guy in my church I barely know.
1. I accepted my feelings.
2. Logically I’m not sure what the turn out will be, but I will not allow false hope to enter
3. I try not to dwell on him.
4. I pray for his salvation and not for us to be together. I pray to witness his his heart towards God, despite of his feelings towards me. So whether he is interested in me or not my prayers are generic.

Before waiting on the Lord for over 8 years ago, I had no dating apps opened now that I'm over 30 I have several dating apps opened 😂.

You give good practical dating advice where ppl ive known have over spiritualized n simplified the matter. N it never really helped me

I quit guarding my heart and started letting my heart "guard me" WHEN I FINALLY LET JESUS HAVE MY HEART!

Dating as we speak/mean is not mentioned in the Bible ?

This was really good every point was EXACTLY what I have been feeling!!!

So if a women is divorced is she single or still bind to her ex husband?

Hey everyone, listening to around d the halfway mark where Mark talking about interest vs infatuation would it be evil being infatuated where obsessed with the purpose. Personally an athlete but I know that not just athlete but follower of Christ. I feel like if pursuing your goal would act in infatuation? Would be nice to hear from others.

I am currently crushing on someone and I have admitted my feelings in prayers and accepted them . I can’t help but wish we end up together but I don’t discard the possibility that it won’t happen as well . I pray to God to help me control my emotions and that if nothing happens I know it’s not Gods will and His will after all is my blessing . If it’s not him , God knows who is for me .
