This sign may be to show them whether God exists, whether a decision is the right one or not, or even if they are dating the right person. When someone asks for “this” sign, many expect for something spectacular or miraculous to happen.
I remember as a young boy I did this exact thing when I prayed for God to give me a sign. I would ask, “God, if You are really there, then make this object I’m looking at move or let the light flicker on and off.” How silly!
Many Christians still think that God speaks to them through dreams or visions they have, and even try to justify them today by quoting certain Bible verses. But what are the signs that God reveals to those who want to know whether they are heading in the right direction in their love life?
For example, you planned a day trip to the seaside; and so on the day you step out of your house to the car, would you immediately see a sign saying, “Seaside – front pier this way,” with an arrow pointing in the right direction? Of course you wouldn’t!
You would first need to know what direction to head in, what motorway to join and also what junction to get off at.
But as you follow the signs and head closer towards your destination, you will eventually see signs indicating the particular seaside you set out for.
The lesson to learn here is that you had to do some research first before you eventually found signs confirming that you are on the right track – right? With God, don’t expect signs to appear in front of you without some effort or action on your part.
If you have been thinking that God will guide you without any input from your side, then you are mistaken. God will show you “signs” whether you are on the right track or not when you step out and head towards your goal.
During your journey, you may take “wrong turns” or even “get lost” temporarily, but with your goal in mind, courage to move in more-or-less the right direction, and above all, faith, God, being your “satnav”, will guide you to your destination.
After all, if man has made a small navigation system that points you in the right direction, turn-by-turn and even warns you to do a U-turn if you have gone the wrong way, then don’t you think God Himself will point you back on track and in the right way too?
One way God wants to show you signs whether you are heading in the right direction or not is through the “Love Therapy” sessions.
See these sessions as the “theory test” you need to know before the “practical”. Along the way, there will be hazards and warning signs, but above all, slow down if you’re going too fast. Keep going “ahead only”, “no right or left turns”.
And remember:“No stopping!” Read and follow the signs!
