Certainly this is a peculiar situation.

How odd is it when two people understand their emotions about each other, and wish to purse a relationship, but cannot because God asked them to be patient. Both parties are left knowing these feelings, and have two options: 1. Love God by obeying his command, or 2. Simply ignore what God asked them and adhere to their own desires. Truly this is a test of patience and self-control, two of the nine fruits of the Spirit. All hope is not lost fortunately. The Holy Spirit is with them, reminding them of scripture: "For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace" (Romans 8:6).

This situation is quite frequent for Christians. Not the fact that they want to pursue a relationship, instead it is the constant struggle between flesh and Spirit. From Galatians 5, we understand that the desires of the flesh and Spirit are opposing forces, something similar to an antagonist verses a protagonist in an adventure story. And God gives us the choice to either choose our own desires or to choose Him, to root for the villain or to cheer for the hero. This is a daily struggle for all Christians, and it can get tiresome. But know this, even though at times we may fail and submit to our own fleshly desires, God's grace is still there. The richness of His grace and mercy is there for us. He is always patient with us, waiting for us to repent and turn to Him. Thus, do not wait, but repent immediately! Experience God's great love; His unconditional love is there for you always!
