  1. Knowing What You’re Worth

  2. People will treat you based on how cheaply you sell yourself, don't sell yourself short. Set your value according to how God values you. The devil doesn't want you to have a sense of value for yourself.

  3. When you pay a premium for something , you will have a greater Respect for it than you would have, if you got it cheaply.

  4. Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) 23 Guard your heart above all else,for it determines the course of your life.

  5. The Pursuit of Happiness

  6. Entering into God's rest is much better than waiting. • When you are at rest you are confident that God is helping You. • He arranges circumstances for You to meet that special person.

  7. To really be fulfilled in life you have to find the ONE, and the ONE is JESUS. Your partner is your number TWO

  8. Pursuing marriage more than pursuing God is idolatry

  9. Exodus 34:14 (NLT) 14 You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.

  10. Anytime your marriage is not where it's suppose to be, chances are likely that you are looking for your partner to meet some need, that only God can.

  11. Today's philosophy of relationships is far beneath God's standards. • Meeting somebody halfway is 50/50. • Meeting your partner is not holding anything back, 100/100.

  12. God wants to be Number 1 in your life.

  13. You both need to have Jesus in common more than anything else. • A successful marriage is 2 wholes coming together, not 1 half looking for their other half.

  14. Can you serve God better together than when you are apart? • If so: Psalm 34:3 (NLT) 3 Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness;let us exalt his name together.

  15. Becoming The One

  17. Are You who the person You are looking for is looking for?

  18. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NLT) 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

  26. God presents to us choices but you should involve Him in your decision. • God will never choose for You.
