If you're not ready to get married, don't grab at a relationship. Patiently wait for the right time to start one that can eventually lead to marriage.

You are so amazed by grace, you're not picking a fight with anyone, you're just crying tears of amazement that should lead to a heart for lost people, that God does indeed save, when he doesn't have to save anybody.
