My sister once told me that God doesn't give us the desire for a mate accidentally. He will fulfill His promise. I was telling her a few weeks ago how frustrated I was with the whole dating scene. She then told me something that has changed my outlook on life. She told me that somewhere, God has already prepared my mate and He is perfecting, shaping, and molding him just as he's doing with me. She said to open my heart to the Lord and fall so madly in love with him that my mate will have to seek God to find me. She suggested writing my desires and frustrations and my search for the Lord's innermost heart in my journal. And then she suggested something I'd never heard before:
She told me to pray for my husband. Pray for the man I'm yet to meet and to thank God for his creation. So since that moment I've been praying for my husband and writing my praises to God.
That conversation gave me the strength to end a relationship I knew I had no business being in and now my prayer, terrifying as it may be (because man we get lonely sometimes), is for God to turn my eyes upon Him first and that he keep me veiled and secluded from my husband until the opportune time. God's will. Not mine.
