Age: Does It Matter?

Does age matter with God? Is it really that big a deal with God? These are the questions that I would like to answer this week. God created you just to see you happy. God doesn’t want you to dislike other people just because of what they think or say about you. Age is only a number. Age is not a big deal when it comes to God. God loves you and as long as you are happy then He is happy.

Some people say that age only matters to a certain extent. Some people say that going out with someone 3 years older or younger than you is going over the edge, but if you really feel a conection with that person then why should it matter. I know a lot of people that are married and they are 3 years apart. When two people are in love then it really does not matter what the age is.

The law says that if you are 18 you can not date anyone younger like 14 or 15 years old. Should the law really effect what God has in His plan for you? Not really, because whatever is in God’s plan will happen no matter what anyone says. It should not matter just as long as you are happy with it. Do not let people effect the choices that you make in your life. You can listen to their advice but make sure that you make your own decisions. If you truly love someone then put your heart and soul into it and do not be afraid because in the end God will take care of you.
