Waiting For The One

Song of Solomon 8:4 

“Promise me, O Woman of Jerusalem, Not to awaken love until the time is right.”

We’ve all done it. We have all tried to make a relationship to work with some one who we knew was not the man or woman of our dreams. We work so hard at trying to convince ourselves that this person could possibly, in some weird way be the one we are suppose to spend the rest of our life with. 

Whether we handle it the correct way or not, at some point or another we all saw some one and said ‘Hey! That could be the man of my dream's. 

It’s a mistake that a lot of christians make. We all believe that the Lord has created a man or a woman for us to be with and we all know that the Lord will bring them into our lives at the right time, but we tend to rush the process. We get so excited about having the man of our dreams and knowing that there is a person out there for us, that we rush the Lord’s timing. We say that we have heard Him, yet we don’t allow Him to use His own timing. We take the blessing, but we don’t receive the instructions.

I’ve learned that the Lord’s timing is the best timing. The Lord can tell you something and it can 100% be Him, but that does not mean just because He told you that you are suppose to act upon it right away. 

Waiting on love can be a really hard thing, but it is most definitely something you do not want to rush. You do not want to jump into every relationship that comes your way, nor do you want to be afraid to be in a relationship.
For the longest time I was scared to death to be in a real relationship with some one. To have some one care for me. I would get worried that I would pick the wrong man, make a wrong decision and not be with the man I’m suppose to be with. 

When you are in the middle of the Lord’s plan for your life, you don’t have to worry about that. Fear is not in the Lord’s will and plan for your life. We don’t have to fear that for some reason we are going to be that one person that the Lord forgot to make a spouse for. He has a plan for you. You may not understand why you are at this time in your life, but he has a plan and a purpose. 

Proverbs 20:24

The Lord directs our steps, so why try and understand everything along the way?

Jeremiah 29:11

‘For i know that plans i have for you’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for evil, plans to give you a future and a hope.’

Although it has been hard at times not having a boyfriend to care for or him care for me, It’s been a blessing to just be able to be real and learn more about myself.  It may be a struggle to not have a man at my side telling me that I am beautiful, but I have the most wonderful man in my life that will never fail me and will always tell me how beautiful I am to Him, God. 

Being single is a time to grow, learn about God, and about yourself. Don’t be afraid to be single. It’s a significant time in your life.

Take time to grow and let the Lord prepare you for the day that you will meet that special someone that the Lord has made just for you to be with.
