I recently heard Steven Furtick say something really profound. He said something along the lines of: most times God will give us the answer we need to hear rather than the answer to the question we are asking. The sermon was from 1st Corinthians.
I've been praying a lot about a potential boyfriend that is in my life. I met him briefly a few times over the past year and had an immediate crush that grew with time. I mean he's handsome, tall, and extremely smart. As I've been spending time getting to know him I'm seeing just how incredible he is.
So you're probably waiting for the "but" part. But he isn't into it like I am. I've been praying about it a lot. I mean this guy seriously has nearly everything I've been dreaming of in a husband. The only clear answer God has given me isn't really an answer at all, but I know it was clearly from God. He said: "Slow down and trust me."
Now this gives me no guidance with whether or not the relationship with formulate into marriage, but it does give me 100% assurance that God is looking out for me and He is still the one I'm asking to lead my steps. I've also been sensing this theme of the butterfly in my life and that with this relationship I need to be still and trust the process. Besides, if the butterfly will eventually arise, then I should just get cozy with God and keep pursuing Him.
I love my Abba. My True Father with every fiber of my being and if/when this friend becomes more than a friend, then God will be best honored through our lives through our faith and devotion to Christ. Why bother worrying about it before then? Sure my desire is to be married. To come beneath my husband who is a man of God and support him in the mission God has called him to. But I'll never regret waiting on God. NEVER.
