“Love Is Blind”... But God Ain’t: What the Bible Really Says About Love at First Sight
Let’s talk about it.
You ever watched Love Is Blind on Netflix and caught yourself screaming at the screen like, “Girl… don’t do it!” or “Now he was a red flag wrapped in a fitted tee”? Yeah, me too. 😂 But even with the drama, there’s something about the idea of falling in love without seeing someone that pulls us in.
It’s giving deep.
It’s giving different.
...But is it giving God?
Today, we’re taking a holy stroll through the concept of love at first sight, how it aligns (or doesn’t) with the Word, and what it really means to let God lead your heart—not just your hormones. Let’s get into it.
The Show Got You in a Chokehold... But So Did Your Emotions
Let’s be real: Love Is Blind is addictive. It’s the vulnerable convos, the confessions, the anticipation of who’s behind the wall. We love it because it feels like a modern fairytale with a blindfold on.
But spiritually speaking?
That “blindfold” can be dangerous if it’s covering your discernment.
May I say that one more time for the people in the back?
That “blindfold” can be dangerous if it’s covering your discernment.
The Bible tells us in Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Baby, that means feelings are cute—but fruit is better. You can’t just fall and call it love. You need to examine who sent it and where it’s leading you.
Bible Meets Blind Dates: Isaac and Rebekah Had That God-Led Connection
Let’s throw it back to Genesis 24—the OG "love at first sight" moment. Rebekah pulls up on a camel, all that grace and favor gliding toward Isaac. And what happened? He looked up, saw her, and boom—it was on sight. But don’t miss the behind-the-scenes.
That love story didn’t start with looks.
It started with prayer, preparation, and purpose.
Abraham’s servant literally prayed for a wife for Isaac and let God handpick her. Rebekah wasn’t just pretty—she was positioned.
So yes, there was chemistry. But there was also covenant. The whole situation was soaked in God’s presence. That’s the part Love Is Blind leaves out.
Sis, Are You Falling in Love or Falling Out of Alignment?
Listen... it’s easy to get swept up in feelings. Been there. But spiritual women don’t just fall—we flow. And flowing with the Spirit means asking the tough questions:
Is this attraction God-sent or just giving temporary attention?
Does this person pull you closer to God—or further into confusion?
Can your future walk with this man, or is it stuck in the “talking stage” with no direction?
The right love will confirm, not confuse. Period.
A Fab Reminder: Love Isn’t Just a Feeling, It’s a Fruit
We’re not called to chase vibes—we’re called to discern fruit. (Matthew 7:16). That means watching how they move, how they love, and whether their actions align with God’s Word.
You deserve a love that prays with you, protects your peace, and pushes you into purpose. So if it feels too good to be true but lacks the Spirit—it probably is. And sis, you’re too fine and too anointed to settle for vibes over vision.
So, do I believe in love at first sight? Maybe. But more than that, I believe in love that’s God-confirmed—not just good-feeling.
Because love that lasts won’t just make your heart flutter. It’ll make your soul rest. It won’t just excite you—it’ll cover you. And when it’s really from God? It’ll show up on time, on purpose, and on assignment.
Now tell me, beauty... do you want love that looks good, or love that’s led by God?
Think on that today.
