The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. – Psalm 145:18
Every time I have an amazing day with my husband I want to jump on every single’s blog and plead with every Christian single to WAIT ON GOD!
I don’t care who disagrees. There are non believers disguising themselves as true believers, lying to single men and women everywhere. I’ve heard it all before and I refuse to believe them.
You don’t have to wait on God.
You’re marriage will fail anyway.
Lower your standards.
You’re getting older so find someone you can reasonably get along with and make it work.
God doesn’t care who you marry.
All that matters is that they make enough money.
You have a questionable past so just take who you can get.
It’s better to have someone, no matter what the cost, than to be single.
God doesn’t care about unequally yoked marriages.
True love only happens in the movies.
Lies… Lies… Lies…
God Cares.
He cares about the desires of your heart and soul. The person you marry will have great influence on your walk with the Lord. I would say that’s important to God. God designed love and marriage. Why would He not want to be included in your love life. And since God designed it, can He not make it all that you ever dreamed of? Can God not exceed your expectations? He loves you and wants nothing to harm you in any way, shape, or form… including a bad marriage.
God does not want you to bear heart breaks and betrayals. None of us are immune but some hurt can be avoided. We don’t always know what is best for us. We can’t see the details of our destiny. God has the keys to our happiness. Let Him open the door to the right husband or wife that will walk in agreement with your purpose. And you will walk in agreement with theirs.
God can. God can see the details. He knows where the relationship pitfalls are and how you can avoid them. He can give you the best love affair of your life. He makes marriage liberating and gratifying. It takes the right two people coming together and connecting within Jesus Christ to make this possible.
Marriage is hard enough without canceling God out of the equation. God knows how to make disagreements graceful. God can give your mate the right words to say that will comfort your soul and make you fall deeper in love. You can pray your need to God and He will guide your mate is supplying that need. Yes, it’s true. God can lead you together in prayer to resolve problems that break up marriages every day.
I know God can do it. He’s proven His mighty works over and over again.
And until the time of your marriage, God cares about your needs while you’re single. Go to Him for everything. Trust in Him for everything. And while single, God can lead you to a whole and healthy life.
God can and He cares for you. Look to God for your mate.
