The Man God Has For You by Stephan Labossiere (1)

Guarding your heart pertains to protecting it from fear, anger and
anxiety; it does not mean you shield yourself from being open and
receptive to the man who’s genuinely into you. If you continue to use this
as an excuse, it will only hurt you in the end. Like the old saying goes,
don’t cut your nose to spite your face.
Are You Really Listening to God?
I can tell you right now, when God wants you to do something or has
someone for you and wants you to proceed, none of it is with the idea of
holding back. Be clear that when you do this you’re operating out of fear,
not faith, which means you’re not approaching the relationship the way
God wants.
I get it.
It’s scary and your feelings are valid. I’m not judging you for being
afraid and I don’t want you to beat yourself up over it either, especially if
you’ve done this before or are experiencing it currently.
However, what I need you to understand is this is not OK and it goes
against what God wants you to do. The only reason to run is because God
told you it’s time to go.
When you attempt to move forward, while holding back in fear, you
miss the opportunity to see the full potential of the relationship. You have
to move passed any hesitation. Either you’re going to do it, or not. If
you’ve already prayed and God gave you the answer to move forward, then
you need to do it with full force. You will have to open up and be
vulnerable, this is what’s required. Without it, you will sell yourself short.
On many occasions, people have shared with me this piece of advice: a
woman should be with a man who loves her more than she loves him.
If you agree with this, then I sincerely want you to know that this is a
misguided mindset to have. Not to be harsh, but quite frankly, it’s horrible
advice. It’s also a setup for disaster every, single, time. The idea of
quantifying who loves who more, indicates there’s a problem from the
start.
Again, the man God has for you will share a deep and genuine
connection. If you speak to anyone who’s experienced this, they’ll tell you
there’s no way to compare who loves who more. They’re into each other,
period. The connection is too strong for you or anyone to determine whose
love is greater for the other. If there’s a distinction, the love between you
