They said “God sent them”..is it infatuation??

Let’s talk about it!

Some folks will prophesy over you before they’ve even prayed about you. 👀

They’ll say all the right things but walk in none of the right rhythms. Infatuation sounds like:

✨ “I’ve never met someone like you.”

✨ “You’re everything I’ve been praying for.”

✨ “God told me you’re mine.”

But when it comes time to actually love you well? To sacrifice, to lead, to commit? They ghost your growth.

Here are the red flags to watch for:

1️⃣ They know your favorite color but run from your calling.

They’ll date the surface but can’t handle your spiritual depth.

2️⃣ They rush connection but resist clarity.

Everything is fast but vague. No fruit just vibes.

3️⃣ They say God sent them but haven’t submitted to God themselves.

Don’t confuse churchy with Godly. They can say His name but if their life doesn’t exude Him it’s not really worth it.

4️⃣ They’re obsessed with how you make them feel, not who they’re called to become with you. Finding every way to avoid change.

5️⃣ They compliment your looks, but never cover your soul.

6️⃣ They love your prayers but don’t align with your purpose. They can be obsessed with the experience but not the responsibility of the role.

7️⃣ They want the promise but avoid the process.

It’s all butterflies but no building.

Just because it looks spiritual doesn’t mean it’s from the Spirit. Don’t be fooled by goosebumps and chemistry. Look for fruit. Look for covering. Look for character.

📘 If you’ve ever confused infatuation for intention, Notes from God and my affirmations will help you heal, discern, and date with alignment. Link in bio or Stan store.

... Read moreInfatuation can often masquerade as true love, leaving many confused about their feelings and intentions. In relationships, especially those influenced by faith, it's crucial to recognize when attraction is simply infatuation rather than a deeper, more meaningful connection. Some common signs include a partner's preoccupation with superficial aspects of the relationship while neglecting emotional depth or spiritual alignment. If you're experiencing quick connections but vague commitments, it's essential to step back and evaluate. True partnerships are built on shared purpose and mutual growth. Moreover, understanding the difference between genuine connection and infatuation can lead to healthier relationships. Focus on how both partners serve each other's growth rather than merely fulfilling personal needs. Infatuation often leads to excitement but lacks the commitment necessary for a lasting bond. Look for a partner who aligns with your values and purpose—someone ready to embrace the responsibilities of a relationship alongside you. Ultimately, keeping a discerning heart is key when navigating through the complexities of dating within a spiritual context. Familiarizing yourself with the warning signs of infatuation not only protects your heart but also enhances your ability to cultivate meaningful connections grounded in love and faith. When you've established clarity and mutual respect, you and your partner can embark on a transformative journey together.
