"How Will I Know? He Told Me So!

1. Blessed Lord, You have caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning. Grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn, and take them to heart that, by the patience and comfort of Your holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life. … through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Romans 5:1–5 ESV

1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Whitney Houston recorded a song on her self-titled album, Whitney Houston in 1985. Entitled, “How Will I Know,” the song shared the hope and fear of a young woman faced with the heart crisis of dealing with love when you don’t know how the other person will respond, or worse, whether you can trust he will return her love.

Women are not alone with this dilemma,

How will I know if he really loves me? I say a prayer with every heart beat I fall in love whenever we meet I'm asking you what you know about these things How will I know if he's thinking of me? I try to phone, but I'm too shy (Can't speak) Falling in love is so bittersweet This love is strong, why do I feel weak?
