Ari

And that's what Ari and I, we, you know, went through singleness season together and we encourage girls and guys who watch us to just hold out and to wait and that the world sends such a specific message on what you need and what you should look for. And it's just so self-serving and it's,

always valuing the wrong things, and Jesus speaks such a specific message of find somebody who loves me with all their hearts, because then they will love you so well. It's that simple. We really make things so difficult. We make faith so difficult, and I just feel like Jesus speaks so plainly, even though he speaks in parables. It's pretty plain, and so I prayed for a long time.

I got really specific on... I sought God's face. I sought Jesus' face. And Jesus' heart became my heart. And so my desires became his desires. And so I desired the type of man that he would want me to be with. I didn't know he was going to be 6'2 and cute, but...

Yeah, I mean, a lot. And it's hard to measure your relationship with God and everybody's story is different. And I think sometimes we send a message to people like, oh, you're single because you're just not ready yet, which could be the case. And we also don't know what God is doing. And we don't know what's happening behind the scenes. So I think what I would say is,

walking in purity, walking in true purity is something that's really important and I think is lost on people. You know, we value purity so much and I just think that becoming the person that you want to be with is crucial and just seeking God's face, being in the Word, devoting yourself fully to Jesus, laying your life down, like truly doing all the things that we talked about during this episode.

And it's not like it's some ladder that you have to climb. We don't climb ladders. Jesus climbed down to get to us. We don't have to climb. But it's about a life laid down. Who has the affection of your heart? That's what it's really about. It's not about what you're doing or how much you're engaging. How, who has the affection of your heart? Where's your heart? Who's on the throne?
