How Do I Trust Someone To Let Them In My Life

This was a very good question. I think the first place to start is prayer. It is okay to ask God for a relationship. Then when you meet someone ask God if he sent that person and can you trust them. He will answer. Sometimes he answers in small warnings. Like you feel uncomfortable, you see inconsistencies in their character, they have mood swings, you notice they have a temper or they always make excuses for something. Sometimes he will show you bigger things like you are never invited to meet their family or spend time with their children. Perhaps you’ve dated for a long while and you don’t have a key to their house or apartment. Another indicator could be the answers they provide to the questions that you ask. Then another thing is you might want to get to know his or her friends and employees to find out what type of person they really are. If they ever hit you dating or attempted to hit you - head for the hills and don’t look back. These days you might even check out their My Space page.

God often tries to show us but we miss things. So take the time to be prayerful and listen. Be very attentive and watch very carefully what they do. If you earnestly pray, God will show you. I remember once a very long time ago God showed me that I was in the wrong relationship in a dream. He had to show me three times before I finally believed it, but after that I ended it. And later found out though a series of events that God had him pegged. I was so glad that I followed God.

There is no one that cares about your future happiness more than God. He does not want you to make a mistake. Just talk to him like you would talk to someone on the phone. He takes joy in being consulted an answering prayer. Let him provide the person for you to trust. He will. He’s been doing it a long time.

One of my favorite Bible stories is a man that was seeking a wife for his son. He had gotten old so he sent his servant to find a bride. The father told the servant, please don’t bring me back a headache. My son needs a good wife and I trust you enough to handle this for me. So the servant who loved his master and wanted to do the best he could went to find the wife. He stopped on the side of the road and prayed to God not to let him pick the wrong woman, then he gave a list of requests for God to answer to make sure he had the right woman. He sat on the side of the road waiting for the prayer to be answered.

Sure enough the woman came by and this woman did every single thing he had prayed to God about. He was overjoyed and eventually arranged to take the woman back with him to be the wife of his masters son. If God did it then, why would he not do that for you? Just ask him.
