A Relationship Divine: Choosing Well

Discerning Love, Character, and the One Chosen for You

Dr. Bill Koerner

Choosing well is sacred work.

Before love becomes covenant, there is discernment. Before commitment is made, character must be observed. Before the heart becomes deeply attached, wisdom must be invited to speak.

A Relationship Divine: Choosing Well is a Christ-centered devotional adapted and developed from the original A Relationship Divine: Discovering and Loving the One Chosen for You, now presented in the current ARD devotional format with a warmer, more focused path for relationship discernment.

This 32-devotional journey is written for singles, dating couples, engaged couples, and anyone seeking the Father’s wisdom before entering or continuing a romantic relationship.

Through Scripture, teaching, real-world reflection, personal questions, and prayer, Dr. Bill Koerner helps readers slow down, seek the Father, recognize character, ask better questions, and choose relationships with wisdom rather than fear, loneliness, attraction, or emotion alone.

Inside this devotional, readers will reflect on:

• placing the Father first in relationship decisions
• letting wisdom lead before emotion takes over
• surrendering the desire to be chosen
• learning from past relationship choices
• knowledge, wisdom, and obedience
• attraction, character, peace, and discernment
• green flags, yellow flags, and red flags
• asking the right questions before deeper commitment
• communication, listening, conflict, and resolution
• pride, lust, dishonesty, and dysfunction
• dating with direction
• choosing someone who helps you follow the Father
• preparing for a relationship that honors Him

This book is not written to make love feel cold, fearful, or overly analytical.

It is written to help love become wise.

Because love without wisdom can attach to what harms.

Love without obedience can justify what the Father is warning against.

Love without truth can confuse intensity with intimacy.

Love without discernment can call dysfunction destiny.

But love led by the Father becomes different.

It becomes patient enough to see clearly.

Humble enough to ask hard questions.

Courageous enough to walk away when needed.

Wise enough to recognize character.

Faithful enough to seek covenant, not merely comfort.

A Relationship Divine: Choosing Well is ideal for personal devotion, dating or engaged couples, mentoring, premarital reflection, small groups, relationship recovery, and anyone who wants to seek the Father before the heart becomes deeply attached.

Choosing well is not only about finding the right person.

It is also about becoming the kind of person who can love with wisdom, humility, truth, patience, courage, and faithfulness.

Let the Father lead.

Let Him search your heart.

Let Him steady your desires.

Let Him strengthen your discernment.

Let Him teach you to recognize love that honors Him.

Father, teach me to choose well.
