Sure, waiting requires a whole lot of endurance, a lot of sugar-coated patience, a lot of confidence in the Lord and a lot of strength and wisdom from God--but in the end, everything's worth the while. I've been in a situation once wherein I rushed things and in the end, I suffered my own consequences. But God's grace was sufficient that it became my pillar. God's favor was so astounding. It moved every heartaches away and it even patched my broken heart. Literally speaking, for me, there's no such thing as a broken heart.
What I mean is, a man who has a broken heart can actually mean that he's already non-living. But when we turn into figurative languages, it means that you've been hurt. You gave your heart yet in return it was only shattered, scattered, and battered.
The contrary is not amazing. The timing isn't right, so in the end you'll reap what you sow. You came in a little too early so you'll end up with a broken heart sooner or later too. If only we just know how to control our emotions and wait upon the Lord, therefore we will be protected against infective heartaches. If we only guard our hearts, if we only have the capacity to control our feelings, then we'll be able to wait perfectly--NOT. We cannot guard our hearts, nor can we protect it from pain. Pain is inevitable and sacrifice is an option. But obedience is better than sacrifice, isn't it?
Keep in mind that the God who gave you the ability to love can guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. The God who gave you that feelings has the ability to control it. God would give you the ability to wait--the strength to press on. It's awesome to enjoy the gift of singleness that God has given us. We don't need to rush into relationships. There's a time for everything, quoting from the Book of Ecclesiastes. We don't need to look for that person or dig every person we meet just so we would know who God's perfect mate for us is.
All we need to do is just to wait upon the spectacular plans that God has in store for us. Isn't that wonderful? Our future has already been designed perfectly by God. He already has it in sequence. And we need not to worry because God has the best person ever for us. I actually realized that waiting isn't boring, indeed, it is fun because I also came up with the thought that I still wanted to be satisfied in the presence of God before I enter into a relationship.
How can we give the right love for the person that God has prepared for us if we don't even have the right relationship with the Lord of love? How can we learn how to love that person in a way that would glorify God if we don't even spend our time with Him? To all the broken people out there, I encourage you, just come before the Lord and He will give you rest and He will carry your burdens for you.
For those who are waiting, I pray that God would give you all the ingredients needed in waiting. And for those who already met their God's best for them, I pray that God would continue to release His grace on you. God bless you all, and yes, I missed writing here. Sorry, it had been a while since I've been gone. But hey, there's joy in waiting for the right things to write out too. :)
