Jemimah Wright shares the advice that would have saved her a lot of heartache, if she had been told sooner.
As a Christian woman it is easy to fall into the same mistake than many other women over the years have fallen into - pining and praying for a man who is just not that into you. I’ve done it, and you probably have too (if not it’s likely your best friend has).
I think it might be harder for us as Christian women, because we are people of hope. You are not sure if he is into you – you can pray! "Lord open his eyes! Lord make him pursue me!" This hope can keep us attached to the wrong person for too long. And as the statistics apparently are not in our favour, it is hard to let go of a good one, even if he isn’t giving you what you deserve.

‘There will be seasons where balance feels impossible—and that’s okay. What matters most is your posture. Colossians 3:23 encourages us: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…” We’re not building for applause—we’re building for eternity,’ says Salomé Criddle.
