She Can Wait Forever

I hear from some women that they are tired of being alone and would like to be loved and to be in a relationship. I've been listening to this, and for the longest time, I thought it was a wonderful invitation for them to be ready to dive into the sea of love. Then, I recently thought about it, and saw that I was on the wrong train and that it was not our call to make. Here are 3 reasons why:


  1. We cannot determine our biological clock: I've been told by some people that they aren't getting any younger and that they are getting less and less capable of raising a healthy child and a nututring a prosperous relationship. Look, if a 67 year-old woman can have twins, you're not too old. If it's in God's will for you to have something, He will provide it for you. Stop trying to take your life away from Him and let Him work it out for you. In the end, you will be glad you did.

  2. Let God give you what you should believe that onle He can: It's a common belief by most Christians that God will give you what you need and supply all your needs. If you believe that, then you know that it takes patience for Him to provide for us. As we remain faithful servants, the Father will continue to be our everything. Life is the main application of this way of thinking. Being faithful servants and good Christians on Earth will lead to an eternity in paradise. Does that mean we are in a rush to die? No. We enjoy life as it comes to us, and we just make the most of life until we are called home. Same with a relationship. Settling down with the man you need to be with is ultimately in His time. Trying to jump the gun is like cutting your legs from under you. Take your time.

  3. Being overly eager can lead to screwing yourself over: As I said with the job situation, being overly eager is not a good thing. When you get too excited about a good prospect, you can end up committing yourself to a very bad situation. A man that seems good at the initial lookdown. Overeagerness would lead to trying to nail down this good prospect, only to find out after you do that they possess a quality that you absolutely can't stand. Then, you have a volatile situation on your hands that you have no choice but to deal with. Don't wait until it gets to that point to want to be patient.


Point of all this is: good things come to those that wait. Lay it all at the feet of the Provider, and it will all work out. God bless.
