Translation in English (original Chinese content) are as follows:
I am very grateful that I have been invited to share my personal experiences in love over the past two years.
In 2020, I came into contact with FaithToDate, a Christian communication platform, by chance on Facebook. I knew that I was not young. And in the church fellowship, most of the group members were already married and had children. However, I was alone. At that time, I was very envious that they could have their own family and enjoy family happiness, so I decided to take the first step to join this dating platform, hoping to change the single situation.
After joining this platform,
I am very grateful for the help of different staff at FaithToDate. They are very attentive to understanding my background and mate selection requirements, allowing me to have a clearer understanding of my own strengths and weaknesses, and giving appropriate suggestions so that I can be fully prepared. Being at my best when meeting my date. In these short two years, I have used this platform to actively date different sisters, who come from different backgrounds, different professions, and have different personalities. They are all good , talk generously and decently, and some of them are very proactive. Lively, kind-hearted, and willing to talk and communicate with you. Unfortunately, the girls I am interested in have no interest on me. On the contrary, when girls take the initiative to contact me, I am indifferent and have no feelings.
During this time,
I hesitated as a lost little lamb, lost my direction and goals, and was very frustrated. At the same time, my membership in FaithToDate has expired. When the staff asked me about my renewal status, I had already begun to give up. I felt that I had wasted more than a year, dated so many girls, and still had not successfully left single status. When I was struggling so much, I suddenly read a passage of Scripture that reminded me, from James 1:2-5 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” ......
It wasn't until October 2021 that I met A… again through the FaithToDate platform. When I first met, I felt that she was a unique girl. She was tall, had a pure and lovely face, was gentle in conversation, and very temperamental. The more I get to know her, I find that she has more advantages. ......
After asking for God’s will, I took the initiative to make a date
with A on February 13th. I gave her a token of my love and wrote my feelings on
the card, hoping that she could see and understand my feelings for her.
Unfortunately, I didn't really receive a response from her that night. Finally,
when I mustered up the courage to ask A again about her feelings, she
implicitly agreed and joked that she almost couldn't see my heart card......
I know that in this severe epidemic environment, it is already
very difficult for people to communicate with each other, and it is even more
difficult to get to know your partner. However, I encourage everyone to keep a
waiting heart, persevere in adversity, and never give up. Take me as an
example. I used to be a relatively passive person, lacking self-confidence and
having no independent opinions. However, I was willing to take a brave step
forward and join FaithToDate, a dating platform. I set a goal to meet my
partner. Through unremitting efforts and repeated defeats, I finally succeeded.
Finally got out of singles successfully. In fact, not everyone is smooth
sailing on the road of love. They will experience failures and stumbles. It is
not a business or a job. No matter how much you pay, you are guaranteed to have
corresponding rewards or results. Despite this, I firmly believe that as long
as we have hope, firm faith, and continue to pray, the Lord will definitely
take care of those who believe in Him, accomplish good things, and grant you a
wonderful marriage. "On the road of love, the biggest mistake is to miss
it." I hope that all single brothers and sisters will continue to work
hard. In the future, you can cultivate your own love, get out of singles as
soon as possible, and encourage each other.
Letter from Brother J's to singles (Succeed in Dating)
(All glory to the Lord)
