It's a phrase you hear in our world today.
But what is it saying? it's saying to fallow every feeling... thought.. emotion..
to fallow whatever your heart is telling you.
But if i simply fallowed this phrase.. and lived by it..
i would be a different person.
IF my heart said ''You like this person.... he is the one you will marry''
think of the false life you would be living. You whole heartily believe that you will marry this person- And yet at the end you realize.. you believed something off of what your human emotions told you.
I try to do the exact opposite .
I don't always succeed- But when i do it's with Christ.
I know many girls who go off of feelings and emotions when really they should be fallowing where Christ is leading them.
My older sister is a perfect example.
She only ever was interested in one person when she was a teenager.
She wasn't your everyday girl.. she was never interested in talking about boys... or interested in crushes. When all around her was girls who based their life- crushes- and hopes off of human emotions. And in the end.. it failed.
She made a commitment . That she would wait for her future husband...
That she wouldn't participate in the falsehood of going off of her feelings and emotions- but that she would be going off of Christ for the confirmation on her feelings and thoughts. I really admire her... her dedication to not becoming a boy crazed girl in a worldly world.. But instead.. a set apart girl- who waited to awaken love.. who waited for her husband. Today she is grateful.. grateful because she stayed faithful to her heavenly father- Trusting him with her heart.. that when she was ready he would bring her prince charming into her life.
She has finally met him... and they are to be married in September.
It was worth the wait... it was worth not going through boyfriend after boyfriend just to find the one. It was worth putting her heart in her fathers hands and trusting him- Knowing that he knows the best for us- That he knows what we need.. he knows our desires and thoughts.
He has written our story's so beautifully.. even though we can't see the full chapter- Doesn't mean he has abandoned our book.
I promise you-- That if we stay committed now... committed in trusting God- waiting on him- Knowing that he has the most perfect timing... in the end- If it's when God reveals our future spouse to us- or if we are on our last breath... i promise you... there will be no regret.
Because... my friends! it is worth the wait....
