1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,240
So you've got your eye on that special

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,559
someone at church, and you're wondering how to

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,259
make them fall in love with you.

4
00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:09,119
As a Christian single, you've got some divine

5
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,439
tricks up your sleeve along with a good

6
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:12,134
sense of humor.

7
00:00:12,775 --> 00:00:15,595
Let's dive into this holy quest with grace,

8
00:00:15,974 --> 00:00:18,315
love, and a few laughs along the way.

9
00:00:18,934 --> 00:00:21,114
Top 10 tips on how to make someone

10
00:00:21,175 --> 00:00:22,554
fall in love with you.

11
00:00:23,095 --> 00:00:24,074
Step one,

12
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:26,329
pray like you mean it.

13
00:00:26,949 --> 00:00:29,189
First things first, we've got to bring this

14
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:30,570
matter before the Lord.

15
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:33,210
Prayer is your most powerful tool.

16
00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:36,070
But let's be honest, we're not talking about

17
00:00:36,070 --> 00:00:36,890
those generic

18
00:00:37,425 --> 00:00:39,604
Lord bless this food kind of prayers.

19
00:00:39,984 --> 00:00:41,445
You need to get specific.

20
00:00:42,704 --> 00:00:45,585
Dear God, if it's your will, please make

21
00:00:45,585 --> 00:00:46,725
John or Jane

22
00:00:47,105 --> 00:00:48,965
notice me in a romantic way.

23
00:00:49,344 --> 00:00:51,450
And if it's not your will, please make

24
00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:54,170
me okay with that and not awkwardly pine

25
00:00:54,170 --> 00:00:55,469
after them. Amen.

26
00:00:57,130 --> 00:00:59,850
Remember, prayer isn't about convincing God to do

27
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:02,890
what you want, but aligning your desires with

28
00:01:02,890 --> 00:01:03,710
his will.

29
00:01:05,209 --> 00:01:06,105
Step two,

30
00:01:06,505 --> 00:01:08,125
shine your light.

31
00:01:08,905 --> 00:01:11,784
Matthew five sixteen says, let your light shine

32
00:01:11,784 --> 00:01:12,605
before others

33
00:01:12,905 --> 00:01:14,905
that they may see your good deeds and

34
00:01:14,905 --> 00:01:16,765
glorify your father in heaven.

35
00:01:17,625 --> 00:01:18,125
Translation,

36
00:01:18,989 --> 00:01:20,530
be your best self.

37
00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:22,989
Live out your faith in a way that's

38
00:01:22,989 --> 00:01:24,450
attractive and genuine.

39
00:01:25,469 --> 00:01:26,609
Volunteer at church,

40
00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:30,030
participate in bible studies, and be kind to

41
00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:30,530
everyone.

42
00:01:31,484 --> 00:01:33,805
Not only will you grow spiritually, but you'll

43
00:01:33,805 --> 00:01:36,125
also become the kind of person someone else

44
00:01:36,125 --> 00:01:37,265
wants to be around.

45
00:01:38,045 --> 00:01:41,185
Plus, doing good deeds never hurt anyone's chances

46
00:01:41,325 --> 00:01:42,625
in the romance department.

47
00:01:44,329 --> 00:01:45,150
Step three,

48
00:01:45,609 --> 00:01:47,069
develop a sense of humor.

49
00:01:47,849 --> 00:01:49,930
Let's face it. A good sense of humor

50
00:01:49,930 --> 00:01:51,310
can make you more attractive.

51
00:01:52,569 --> 00:01:55,609
Proverbs seventeen twenty two says, a cheerful heart

52
00:01:55,609 --> 00:01:56,510
is good medicine.

53
00:01:57,394 --> 00:01:59,414
So go ahead and make them laugh.

54
00:02:00,274 --> 00:02:02,914
Just maybe avoid the dad jokes until you're

55
00:02:02,914 --> 00:02:04,375
sure they're a fan.

56
00:02:05,234 --> 00:02:07,094
Here's a safe one to start with.

57
00:02:07,634 --> 00:02:09,519
Why do we never tell secrets on a

58
00:02:09,519 --> 00:02:10,019
farm?

59
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,959
Because the potatoes have eyes and the corn

60
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:13,860
has ears.

61
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,939
Step four, be authentic.

62
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:21,780
First Peter three three to four advises,

63
00:02:22,495 --> 00:02:24,995
your beauty should not come from outward adornment.

64
00:02:25,375 --> 00:02:25,875
Rather,

65
00:02:26,175 --> 00:02:28,435
it should be that of your inner self,

66
00:02:28,895 --> 00:02:31,615
the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet

67
00:02:31,615 --> 00:02:32,115
spirit,

68
00:02:32,415 --> 00:02:34,949
which is of great worth in god's sight.

69
00:02:36,310 --> 00:02:38,870
In other words, don't pretend to be someone

70
00:02:38,870 --> 00:02:39,610
you're not.

71
00:02:40,469 --> 00:02:42,090
Authenticity is incredibly

72
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:43,050
attractive.

73
00:02:43,989 --> 00:02:46,789
Be genuine in your interests, your faith, and

74
00:02:46,789 --> 00:02:47,530
your intentions.

75
00:02:48,629 --> 00:02:50,489
No one falls in love with a facade,

76
00:02:50,625 --> 00:02:52,384
but they do fall in love with the

77
00:02:52,384 --> 00:02:53,525
real you.

78
00:02:55,025 --> 00:02:57,125
Step five, engage in meaningful

79
00:02:57,425 --> 00:02:57,925
conversations.

80
00:02:59,264 --> 00:03:02,164
Start by talking about common interests and gradually

81
00:03:02,305 --> 00:03:05,585
move to deeper topics like faith, dreams, and

82
00:03:05,585 --> 00:03:06,085
values.

83
00:03:07,459 --> 00:03:10,900
Sharing your personal experiences and listening actively will

84
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:12,199
create a strong bond.

85
00:03:13,299 --> 00:03:14,840
Of course, there are conversations

86
00:03:15,139 --> 00:03:15,879
to avoid.

87
00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:18,579
And remember, folks, there's no faster way to

88
00:03:18,579 --> 00:03:21,479
lose someone's interest than by dominating the conversation.

89
00:03:22,965 --> 00:03:23,865
Ask questions.

90
00:03:24,165 --> 00:03:26,585
Be genuinely interested in their responses,

91
00:03:27,365 --> 00:03:29,625
and don't forget to laugh at their jokes,

92
00:03:30,004 --> 00:03:31,145
even the bad ones.

93
00:03:32,965 --> 00:03:34,949
Step six, serve together.

94
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:39,050
There's something incredibly bonding about serving together.

95
00:03:39,590 --> 00:03:41,689
Whether it's helping out of the soup kitchen,

96
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:44,229
going on a mission trip, or just setting

97
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:46,250
up chairs before Sunday service,

98
00:03:46,870 --> 00:03:49,110
working side by side allows you to see

99
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:50,865
each other's hearts in action.

100
00:03:52,544 --> 00:03:55,365
Plus, nothing says potential marriage material

101
00:03:55,905 --> 00:03:58,724
like being elbow deep in mashed potatoes together

102
00:03:58,784 --> 00:04:00,004
at the church potluck.

103
00:04:01,985 --> 00:04:02,805
Step seven,

104
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,099
practice patience.

105
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:06,180
Ah, patience.

106
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,800
The fruit of the spirit that everyone wishes

107
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,780
would grow faster.

108
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,099
First Corinthians thirteen four reminds us that love

109
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:15,139
is patient.

110
00:04:16,144 --> 00:04:18,625
It's tempting to rush into things, but genuine

111
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:20,245
love takes time to develop.

112
00:04:21,024 --> 00:04:23,345
So resist the urge to bombard them with

113
00:04:23,345 --> 00:04:26,144
texts or to declare your undying love after

114
00:04:26,144 --> 00:04:27,605
one coffee date.

115
00:04:28,545 --> 00:04:30,564
Give them space to breathe and to consider

116
00:04:30,625 --> 00:04:31,649
their own feelings.

117
00:04:32,349 --> 00:04:34,509
They may one day say, you are the

118
00:04:34,509 --> 00:04:35,889
love of my life.

119
00:04:37,550 --> 00:04:39,649
Step eight, embrace rejection

120
00:04:40,110 --> 00:04:40,610
gracefully.

121
00:04:41,629 --> 00:04:43,789
This might be the hardest part, but it's

122
00:04:43,789 --> 00:04:44,289
crucial.

123
00:04:45,470 --> 00:04:48,475
Not everyone will return your feelings, and that's

124
00:04:48,475 --> 00:04:48,975
okay.

125
00:04:50,074 --> 00:04:52,314
If the object of your affection doesn't feel

126
00:04:52,314 --> 00:04:54,495
the same way, respect their decision

127
00:04:55,115 --> 00:04:56,735
and learn how to deal with rejection.

128
00:04:58,235 --> 00:05:00,810
Romans eight twenty eight assures us that in

129
00:05:00,810 --> 00:05:02,810
all things, god works for the good of

130
00:05:02,810 --> 00:05:04,110
those who love him.

131
00:05:05,209 --> 00:05:07,290
Trust that god has a plan for you.

132
00:05:07,290 --> 00:05:09,949
And if it doesn't include this particular person,

133
00:05:10,649 --> 00:05:13,069
he's got someone even better in mind.

134
00:05:14,985 --> 00:05:17,324
Step nine, be ready to commit.

135
00:05:18,585 --> 00:05:20,345
If things do start to move in a

136
00:05:20,345 --> 00:05:23,165
positive direction, be prepared to commit.

137
00:05:24,264 --> 00:05:27,884
Relationships require effort, compromise, and dedication.

138
00:05:29,529 --> 00:05:32,649
Ephesians five twenty five tells us, husbands, love

139
00:05:32,649 --> 00:05:35,310
your wives just as Christ loved the church

140
00:05:35,610 --> 00:05:37,870
and gave himself up for her.

141
00:05:38,970 --> 00:05:41,289
This level of love and commitment is no

142
00:05:41,289 --> 00:05:41,685
joke.

143
00:05:42,485 --> 00:05:44,964
This is no time for commitment phobia. It

144
00:05:44,964 --> 00:05:47,044
means being there in the good times and

145
00:05:47,044 --> 00:05:49,944
the bad and always striving to grow together

146
00:05:50,004 --> 00:05:50,745
in faith.

147
00:05:52,324 --> 00:05:53,064
Step 10,

148
00:05:53,444 --> 00:05:55,305
keep God at the center.

149
00:05:55,740 --> 00:05:57,819
Finally, and most importantly, keep God at the

150
00:05:57,819 --> 00:05:58,959
center of your relationship.

151
00:05:59,579 --> 00:06:00,399
Pray together,

152
00:06:00,699 --> 00:06:03,180
worship together, and seek his guidance in all

153
00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:03,680
things.

154
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:04,800
Ecclesiastes

155
00:06:05,180 --> 00:06:07,500
four twelve reminds us a cord of three

156
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:09,120
strands is not quickly broken.

157
00:06:09,644 --> 00:06:11,964
When God is intertwined in your relationship, it's

158
00:06:11,964 --> 00:06:13,584
much stronger and more resilient.

159
00:06:15,084 --> 00:06:15,584
Conclusion,

160
00:06:15,964 --> 00:06:17,725
how to make someone fall in love with

161
00:06:17,725 --> 00:06:18,225
you.

162
00:06:18,605 --> 00:06:20,764
So there you have it, a divine and

163
00:06:20,764 --> 00:06:22,925
humorous guide to making someone fall in love

164
00:06:22,925 --> 00:06:24,384
with you as a Christian single.

165
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,819
Remember to pray, be authentic,

166
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,360
make them laugh, and keep God at the

167
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,520
center of it all. And if all else

168
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,480
fails, there's always the church potluck, because who

169
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,480
can resist falling in love over a plate

170
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,620
of heavenly casserole?
