I'm fifteen, and am really in love with a guy, but how can I know if he's the one?

Being in love is a lot of fun, and I know what it's like to feel your heart racing every time the person is within a hundred yards of you. I know the nervousness and the emotional overload. It seems like you'll have a great day so long as you just get to see the person, even at a distance.

But neither you nor I can know the future, no matter how intense your feelings or hopes may be with regard to a particular guy. For example, I was madly in love with a girl when I was a senior in high school, and she was all that I could ever imagine or dream of. Because I had never experienced such intense emotions and attractions before, I confused infatuation with destiny. But God did not have her in mind for me. He had all kinds of friendships, relationships, and experiences he wanted to lead me though before introducing me to my wife.

At the age of fifteen, you're not really supposed to know if he is "the one." All you need to know is that God knows the plans he has in mind for you. Focus on your friendship with this guy for now, because that will be the best foundation for a lasting love (if that is to come). In the meantime, read the Gospel of Luke, chapter 12, and may God become the center of all your loves.
