Relationships
I have found lately that many of my friends are searching. They are searching for relationships. I hear stories of heart break after heart break. I am not one to usually tell them to stop searching. Because truthfully I've been there. But I have decided that really it is not my place to search for the guy God has for me. God will lead him to me one day. Perhaps not now... I know it's hard to wait especially when you see your friends getting married and having children... You start to wonder if it will ever be your time. It will. But God doesn't want you to let the search consume you. What if we put all the energy that we spend searching after guys and put it into searching after God. And focus on a relationship with Him. If you don't have a strong relationship with God how do expect to enter into a strong relationship with a man? Man does not have all the answers that you are seeking. A guy can't fill void you feel. Only God.

God has such an awesome plan for your life Gabby. I know the struggle to want someone to love and to love you back is hard, but being single is a blessing, even if it doesn't feel like it. THe time that you have to draw close to the Lord and to really develop a great strong relationship is the easiest when one is single. I'm not saying that being married creates distance between God... it's just that your thoughts are more consumed with what your parnter wants and desires. Marriage and relationships are great and wonderful and God can use them to his glory, but you have a unique oppurtunity right now as one who is single. And you are right, man DOES NOT have all the answers, A man cannot fill all your voids and make you feel fully and completly loved, and the best way to prepare for a future relationship is to deepen your realtionship with the Lord. Keep clinging to Jesus, He's got some amazing plans for you.
ReplyDeleteI agree whole-heartedly Gabby. I am one of those people who has spent her whole life searching. I'm just now realizing what you are realizing. I'm trying to see being single as a blessing and not a curse. Right now, I am free to live my life the way I want, without having to take someone else into consideration (except God, of course). I'm praying that I would use this time to draw close to God.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you'd want to, but the youth pastor at my church did a 6 part series on dating and I've listened to it twice already. I've gotten SO much good information and practical tips from it. If you want to check it out, go to www.yourlifecenter.com and click on sermons at the bottom and then launch the media player and scroll down. It's called Love Life (parts 1 through 6) by Pastor Ryan Iverson.
