My brother stopped by today. He's really struggling with finding his match - his mate, his wife. He's been looking for what seems like forever. I guess when you are surrounded by married couples, you start to think about what you want in life and you strive to be like those around you, especially when everyone seems to be SO happy!
I really do find encouagement in him. He reminds me to never take my husband for granted. I know that there are many out there struggling with the same conflict that he is and I don't ever want to be in that predicament again. I was there nearly 6 years ago...
I was a workaholic and was so lonely it hurt. I prayed everyday for God to grant me a partner that I could share my life with. I was on every FREE personal site you could think of - with the exception of all those gross site (you know what I mean). I felt God urging me to take a chance...which is just terrifying!! I put my trust in Him...and when this guy asked me out - well to hang out, I said yes. I didn't end up with that guy, but I did end up with his friend. If I hadn't put my trust in God and just taken a chance, I wouldn't be happily married.
I encourage those of you who are struggling in anything right now to give up your burden to God. Take a chance on life...the worse that can happen is falling into God's arms. Because even when we don't get exactly what we want, when we want it, we must remain faithful. " For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off." Psalm 37:28
Be faithful in the Lord.
