As I reflect on Valentine’s Day and the powerful week of prayer we just had, I can’t help but think about the conversations I’ve had with young people about relationships. So many of them are struggling, trying to figure out how to navigate love and commitment. My biggest message to them? Trust God. Because one thing I know for sure—God doesn’t give you trash.

Too often, I see people trying to justify a relationship because they’ve found two good qualities in a person, but they’re overlooking five major red flags. That’s a hard truth to accept, especially for those in their twenties and thirties. But just because someone checks a couple of boxes doesn’t mean they’re the right one for you. You can’t afford to ignore the signs just because you’re lonely or tired of waiting.

When God is truly at the center—when ministry, legacy, and purpose are part of the foundation—the relationship is different. It’s stronger. It’s meaningful. Choosing a partner shouldn’t just be about companionship or filling a void. It should align with your purpose. Trust me, no matter how old you are, you want God in that process.
I’ve heard some of my young women say, “There’s pee in the dating pool.” And as funny as that sounds, it’s also heartbreaking because I know how easy it is to make the wrong choice. But if you keep God at the center, you’ll be able to choose wisely—not just based on impatience or loneliness, but on what truly aligns with your destiny.
I say all of this with love, because I want the best for you. I’m praying for those of you still out there searching. Stay strong, stay patient, and most importantly—keep God in the process. That’s the love talk of the day!
