Ok, so last night I went to this church gathering that I go to every Tuesday. It's basically not really a church it's just a service of some of the most radical believers you will ever meet. I love them. So anyway, I was talking to one woman yesterday, she's a bit more seasoned ;-) only a bit, and we started talking. Eventually she asked me if there was a "special young man" in my life, naturally I burst out laughing and then said no. =) For some reason, I felt really comfortable talking to her about that topic, and she imparted some real words of wisdom into my life. She told me prayers that she has prayed, like she prayed for God to put her together with the person that she was meant to be with and that it would be right. She also told me about all of the marriages that she has seen that have failed because the 2 people didn't like each other. They married because they love each other, but they never really took the time to find out if they like each other. At first, I didn't really understand how people could love each other and not like each other. But then I thought about my sister, and when she ticks me off, I still love her, but I don't like her right then. I guess it's kind of the same thing.
She also quoted a scripture to me that will probably stay with me for all my life, and it is one that I had never heard before. Song of Solomon 2:7
"I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please."
That's for us girls mostly I believe. We may realize that we have feelings for a certain guy, and that you two should be together, or are compatible or whatever. You think he's the one, blah blah blah. You can't try to make him see. You can't force him to have feelings until he's ready. It also shows that love CAN be awakened before it's ready. Which can be a lot of things. It can be just rushing into it, or trying to force a relationship that it isn't time for yet. This scripture teaches us to be patient and wait on God, as well as this guy. Just wait, because by rushing it, or forcing it, and you may be right about the guy! But if you make something happen before it's time, and you can ruin it. WE can be the cause of our own heartbreaks!!! We can ruin what may have originally been intended to be something special. So this scripture is just a little note to us from God anything, "whoa! Hold your horses! Calm down, and just wait a minute! I have an awesome plan for your heart, your gonna love it. Don't worry about it, I got this!"
And if your like me, then you'll probably need to remind yourself of this quote every day. Don't worry about it, God's got this. That's why when he tells us to wait, he says rest, and wait on me. We can relax and know that we don't have to make anything happen! When it's time, it'll be time, and we'll know.
