Waiting on God


I wrote this a few years ago when I read a book titled "Lady in Waiting":

As girls we let the world pressurize us in our relationships or even in wanting a relationship. We have this romantic view of love based on what we see in the movies or what we read in novels. We marry ourselves too quickly- rush into things and "act" as we think married couples do. What we don't understand is that marriage is something you work at. It comes with so many responsibilities so we need to be prepared for it. What we face with our boyfriends and girlfriends today is superficial- its on the surface. It doesn't even begin to reach the depth of what marriage is. As girls we do not understand the value of being a "lady in waiting"- being diligent- and using the time we have to build a relationship with God. God tells us and He understands that when we do get married it won't be easy to have such a strong relationship with Him. So what better time to have a relationship with Him now while we are still young and "unattached". Its about waiting for Jesus and understanding that He is your heavenly fiancé. If you
haven't learned to surrender to Jesus now, how will you submit to your husband in marraige?

Jesus is the life that satisfies.  He is the only "guy" who can love you and will love you unconditionally and He has proven it. We need to learn that we can only find fulfillment in God because He is always faithful. He leaves no room for disappointment.

If we are not content with ourselves- we will never find contentment in/with a man. If we do not realise the value of God then we will not experience the great things He has in store for us. Let go of chasing after fulfillment elsewhere and realize that God is at work in you life.

Pray for your relationships ladies. Pray for your future husband. But importantly pray that you are well prepared.

If you are in a relationship or if you are single, it is important to remember this: "GOD is your life and everyone/everything else is just in it"
