UnEqually yoked? 

Hello Everyone! Hope all is well. Once again I want to thank you for consistently  visiting my page.  I am very grateful! 

Today I want to share something and while I write this it’s not only for you but also for me.. 

I’m sure you have heard of unequally yoked, and if you haven’t it just means that you are NOT compatible with someone.  Have I been unequally yoked with others?  Definitely!

And once you discover that you are unequally yoked with a person, whether it be your family or a friend,  it can possibly remove any sort of happiness you may have and leave you feeling  empty….

2 Corinthians 6:14 states,  ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Why should we communicate with someone who does not share the same value as yourself?  What is the purpose of that friendship? 

Now that I’ve told you what unequally yoked means,  I want to discuss how to know if you are equally yoked(Compatible) with someone.  Remind you,  I am not a preacher. I am just going to give a few points on over the years what I’ve experienced and what the word of God states.  

• Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Amos 3:3 KJV ...When you are equally yoked with someone you both share similar values,  a common goal. Which should be to glorify God. Both of y’all are SAVED and sanctified.  You both want to please God with your body and mind and entire being! 
• And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.  Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.,Colossians 3:17‭-‬18 KJV ….both of y’all must be willing to submit to each other and have respect towards one another.  If its always “I” then something is wrong.  But when you decide that you want christ to be the center of that friendship/Relationship, then God will honor it, if he approves. 
• Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth. Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits.1 Corinthians 13:4‭-‬7 ERV…both must be willing to love!!  Must be willing to die to self…. Love is not always the mushy feeling,  but accepting a person’s flaws as well. There will be obstacles that will come to test that love you say you have for that other person,  and only time can help that love grow stronger. 

There are definitely more key points ,  but I’m not a preacher. I just wanted to share a few of what I had learned with you.  The reason is that often times we crush on someone who is not even close to who we think they are and then we end up hurt.  But when we crush on someone whose life lines up with the word of God and he approves it can be a marvelous thing…

Whatever friendship/relationship you seek,  ask God for confirmation and direction.

Be blessed, be BOLD,  and don’t forget that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
