I tend to get excited over love. The feeling of being in love, to be loved, and to love. During my devotions, my heart would often ask. When will my turn come? Has the right man come along? Or if he has, hasn’t he noticed me? Or if he has noticed me, why isn’t he pursuing? Frustrations lurk over my head and they most of the times overwhelm me. Falling in love i know is God’s plan. I know he was the one who made me feel all these romantic feelings. But i must be patient, for patience is an expression of trust in God. Impatience, lack of purpose, and misguided emotions foolishness. Only those who seek God’s purpose and timing can know the true joy of romantic feelings fulfilled. I have to submit my emotions to God and learn to evaluate my choices in light of Biblical wisdom. God works through our choices and actions. Even our missteps to accomplish his best in our lives.
I know, i’ve been through a lot of failed realationships. All my past realionships were not God centered. My first boyfriend, American Muslim. My second boyfriend, Agnostic. My third boyfriend, Atheist. My fourth boyfriend, Iglesia ni Kristo.
Failed relationship shouldn’t paralyze me. Through this failure, i am firm in my decision that my next relationship should have a spiritual foundation, whose main goal is to point each other to God and remind each other that we can only find soul satisfaction in him alone.
Now God is teaching me not to be hasty in expressing my feelings and start wound up on premature relationship. True love waits. In his unfathomable wisdom, he knows when i’ll be ready. His timing is perfect. Yes, i may tend to get excited to meet and know who the right one is, but what matters now is that i rest secure on the love that God has for me. I know he has a perfect plan for me.
"Real love is fated. It has been arranged before time. It is the most meticulously prepared of coincidences. And fate, ofcourse, is simply a secular term for the will of God, and coincidence for his grace." - Mike Mason
