When we know what God is saying to us, everything changes. Fear, doubt, and despair leave. We become brave. We suddenly know how to move forward, and we can do so with boldness.

Do you know what God is saying to you—specifically about your dating life? Because when you know what He is saying, you also know everything is going to be okay.

What Does God Sound Like?

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice and come to him; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. He walks ahead of them; and they follow him, for they recognize his voice. (John 10:3–4 TLB)

YOU can hear God’s voice. You are one of His “sheep,” and He is leading you. If you aren’t sure what He sounds like, here are a few of the ways He speaks: 

• Through an internal voice (the “still, small voice” Scripture talks about)

• Through His Word

• Through a memory

• Through a mental picture

• Through a vision

• Through a dream

• Through a knowing (you just “know” something, even though you weren’t told about it)

• Through another person (someone else knows what God is saying)

• Through an open door (an opportunity)

• Through an impression (you sense something is true and might be from God)

God Has GOOD Things to Say to You!

When God speaks, His voice is good.  

Some people think He is angry with them or that He’s interested in their service more than their heart. But the truth is, everything God says to you will line up with the good things written in Scripture.

For example, Zephaniah 3:17 is a description of how God speaks to you, because it is a description of how He feels about you: 

The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing. (NKJV)

His voice sounds like rejoicing over you! It is filled with good things for you. Sometimes He is quiet and sometimes His voice is more obvious, but however He speaks, His voice is filled with love for you.

That is how God is talking to you about your dating life. He is saying good, wonderful, amazing, joy-filled things about it—and about you, His beloved child.  

If you are afraid God is saying negative things about your future, particularly about your love life, you can relax. You don’t need to carry that fear. Let it go—and find out what God is actually saying to you.
