support :)

[SarahlovesChrist]

hey all! i havent been on the singles forum in a while but i just wanted to share with you a mistake i made and if I could ask you to pray for me and maybe provide some support . I got involved with an non christian guy and it just ended because he wanted to take things further physically and I told him I no and that I was waiting for marriage. I feel okay, but I'm mad at myself for getting involved with someone who wasn't a Christian...anyone have similar situations?

God Bless, Sarah

I think most of us over a certain age have all been there.

Don't be hard on yourself. You did the right thing by ending the relationship.

Hugs.

I agree with the above poster.

Love.

Yep I've been there too, you did the right thing

 

[Beauty4Ashes]

been there done that.

as long as you make the decision to not go there again, you'll be fine. Though when I made that decision in my heart with God, all the sudden there were temptations left and right, I think just satan trying to twart me. But I'd made up my mind I wasnt going to go there again and stuck to my guns.

God bless. I think I was about your age....maybe a year or 2 younger when I made the decision not to date non christians.

Well, it's a good thing it ended before it went too far. Good on you for that.

I have been in a similar situation, but from the non-Christian guy's perspective.

Although in my family everyone calls themselves "Christian," it is pretty irreligious considering religion is rarely mentioned and we stopped attending church when I was like seven. In the past my faith has been so diminished that I would tell anyone who asked that I was not Christian (I was often asked because I lived an ascetic life from the view of many). I could not in utmost honesty say differently.

Despite in the past denying myself as a Christian to a girl, one who is religious and comes from a very religious family, she nonetheless pursued me. I think she was expecting to convert me (although she had no clue of my past, just my denial). Nothing ever came of her pursuing me for various reasons, but I think she made a mistake in doing so in the first place. I also think her friends erred in not putting forth an affirmative effort to convince her not to so (actually they might have, but I did not know of it).

I think in your situation, though you should not have gotten involved in the first place, you ultimately did the right thing. But you should carefully consider whether you would have ended your involvement if he had not attempted to take things further physically.

God saves us from making the wrong decisions
And He only wants the best for us
So find the person He is leading you all to
As that maybe the person He wants us to spend our lives with!

Good on you Sarah for standing strong and true to your principals. Lots of guys will respect you for that. More importantly, you can respect yourself for that.

If a guy really loves you, he will respect your boundaries.

Blessings,
Mark
