Faith

What is the world coming to where so many “believers” have such a hard time putting all of their faith in God? My hardest struggle has been with my love life. I believe it is so hard for me because I have never been in love, and cannot wait for that man to sweep me off my feet. Christ is already in a divine romance with me and fellow believers. We spend so much time looking for someone to love us unconditionally, when there has been someone there all along, Christ. Praise God for that! A few months ago my old roommate asked me, if I could honestly see myself being happy being single my whole life. I honestly told her, “Yes,” it is the first time in a long time I have ever said anything like that. I remember in high school, that my main prayer was, “God, if you just give me a boyfriend I will be happy,” surprisingly enough that prayer was never answered. Now I know that it is all for the better. One of my good friends Amanda Brown said that each person we may date now is just a taste of what our spouse will be like. It really clicked with my brain, because even though we may be unhappy with our love life now, just wait God has something much better in store for us. I used to base all of my self-worth on whether I was dating someone or not. I found that I was sacrificing myself so I could say I was important enough for someone to want to date me. I’m not going to lie, I still feel happy when a guy says they like me. I want to date someone because I like them, not just because it is convenient for me. Patience is such a hard thing when it comes to this area for me, because I know in my head that he has someone for me, but it is my heart that has not quite connected with that. I have finally put all my trust in God for my love life, because I know that he will provide someone for me that is more amazing than I could ever imagine. Over the past few months, I have realized that I am not going to settle for anyone less than what I deserve. Until that day comes, I am going to be happy knowing that God loves me more than any man ever could. There is a quote that I am going to live by from now on, It is so important to be able to put faith in Christ, especially in an area that’s held me captive for so long. Just be wary at the start of a new friendship with the opposite sex, because crushes easily develop and they are called crushes for a reason. It is just hard for some people, when they have what they think is a good match in front of them, and it turns out to be a stumbling block for them, or someone that will hinder their walk with Christ. Just be content with whatever season you are at in life. I know for me, that whether I stay single for the rest of my life or get married, either will be amazing as long as it stays within God's will. There is only one reason to get married and that is to better serve our Lord and Father, if we think we can do that as a single person like Paul, or if we feel we are called to get married and serve with a spouse.
A quote to live by, “A woman's heart should be so hidden In Christ, a man should have to seek Him first to find her.”
