here's a question..

where is the line between guarding your heart, and yet trusting someone and not living with fear that a relationship could end at any time?

Hey Lydia,
This was my MAJOR question I had when I was dating Andrew. I wanted to honour God with my heart and not give Andrew too much of it because I wanted to fear the Lord first. I'd seen too many women give their hearts freely and I'd seen that it had not turned out well for them, the guy or for their tenderness toward God and fear of Him. Anyway, I tended to be more on the extreme toward guarding my heart (on my own) without God's help. Andrew would constantly challenge me with giving more of my heart and trusting him in order to get to know him more. My continual conclusion (which I kept questioning what they truly meant) was to surrender my heart to God and let Him guard it, to slowly give some of my heart to Andrew (recognizing marriage is for the full expression) and ask Andrew to be patient. I don't know if that helps at all.
