Letters to Christian Guy and Girl

Mrkaif wrote "A Letter to Christian Girl" and Myagape beat me in the response to it. I shall then comment after reading both letters.

I guess all these discussions began since church camp 2 months back. The Book of Proverbs became our 'template' to BE that godly man and woman and also our criteria of the CHOICE of our life partners.

To the Christian Guy:

The christian girl would be flattered to know that you deemed her godly and faithful. However she is also a sinner like you. She is not 'untouchable' or 'too good' for you. I hope you won't be too disappointed if you later find out that she has her own struggles and insecurities like you can have. No one is perfect. Isn't the purpose of a relationship to help each other grow in their godliness towards Christ?

God calls all His believers to strive to live out the holy lives that He has called us to. The christian girls are just trying in their attempts to obey and honour God. Serving in ministries is only a way of the expression in obedience to come forward to serve Him and serving His people, with the gifts that He has given us. So don't be intimidated by the christian girl. Get to know her better and you will realise that she is like you, struggling to be godly as well.

You are very sincere in your letter. I encourage you to brave up and seek chances to get to know her better. But do remember to also guard her heart. She will surely give you a chance if she sees your sincerity and your attempts to guard her heart. You never know if she could also be keen to get to know you too ;) I wish you all the best :)

To the Christian Girl:

Do give that christian guy a chance to get to know each other as friends. You never know if a friendship or even a relationship could blossom from it :) Remember to also guard your heart in the process. Be kind and gentle to him, remembering that it takes a lot of courage for him to take that leap of faith to even utter that first "Hi" to you.

Don't judge him based on the external godliness or ungodliness that he may seem to have. Get to know him better and for all you know, you will find the faithful, devoted man, seeking to obey God.

Be kind and gentle to him also, that if you think that you can only just be friends, don't push him off completely. Neither should you lead him on because you enjoy the attention he gives you. Remember that he is also human with a fragile heart. Be clear yet gentle if you really think that the friendship will not progress further. Do respect him as an individual. Seek God's wisdom in handling it. The entire process should not draw both of you away from God but to grow in godliness towards Him.
