Date God
Several years
ago a very good friend of mine who had been married for quite some
time, suddenly found herself single again. And it took me a moment
to be emphathetic to her struggle due to the fact that I'm not
single and have been married to David for twenty years.
But through her ordeal I was reminded how hard it can be
at times to be single.
It caused me to remember my single
days and the desires I once had. The desires to be held,
to be loved by someone, to have a special someone to do things with,
someone to make my heart race whenever they appeared, etc. It
reminded me of the times I felt lonely and found myself envious
of those who always appeared to have someone in their life and especially
envious of those who were getting married. I had dreams
of meeting my prince charming and having 2 1/2 kids and a house.
If you're single, you can relate, all to well to what I'm talking
about.
Anyway one evening when my friend called me feeling down
about her situation the words, "Date God" came flying out of my mouth.
Instantly I recognized it wasn't just me rambling but instead
God had used my mouth to speak to his daughter whom He loves
so dearly. God knew her pain, He knew her desires
and more than anything He wanted to grant her what she wanted
but He knew what she needed.
