Hadn't really thought much about emtional/spiritual boundaries... these are interesting thoughts:

"You should go on intentional dates with a man to determine if you enjoy spending time with him, have feelings for him (you know, the butterflies), and to see if he is a man pursuing his relationship with Jesus each day. The rest of his heart is meant to be explored in marriage.

This kind of intimate relationship is created for forever relationships – your sisters in Christ, your family, and your husband."

“The wise young woman who takes things slowly, carefully guarding her heart in premarital relationships, will walk down the aisle toward her groom carrying a treasure far greater than riches – a whole heart that is ready to bond with his for a lifetime”

"If you commit time to him daily, you have started “doing life” with him. And that’s something created for…(drumroll)…marriage! Your time with your boyfriend should be spent going on intentional dates.

A great question to ask yourself is if he has taken the roles of your closest sisters in Christ. He should not know the inner workings of your heart... The excuse we tell ourselves is if we don’t spend a lot of alone time with him and we don’t know everything about him, we won’t know if we want to marry him. With this line of thinking, we are making marriage about us, when it’s really about God."


Want to be able to come back to this... I'm kinda tired of searching through every single (of the hundreds, I'm sure) favorites tabs to find something, which is why I'm putting it here... =)

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. Dear children, let US not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth .  This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us.  For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him.  And THIS is His command: to believe in the name of His son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us.  Those who obey His commands live in Him, and He in them.  And this is how we know that He lives in us: We know by the Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:16, 18-20 How do we set our hearts at rest in His presence, even when our hearts seem to condemn us?  Love one another.  Not with words or tongue, but wit...

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."
