I kind of
dislike the commonly-used phrase “I’m waiting to get married” or “I’m waiting
for that special guy.” I never could put my finger on it until the other day
while one of my usual talks with God.
Who says I’m
waiting? That implies I’m standing in
one spot looking around for the guy and staying right there until he comes. No,
I am not in one spot putting so much on the one guy that I have to stay there.
Rather, I am walking with God through many journeys as He continues to
introduce me to the things He has planned for my life before meeting that guy.
They change and mold me for the better for that when we do come together (as He
has already begun molding that guy) we will then, with God’s help, be molded
together. I am trusting God, looking nowhere but God. There is no point in
keeping an eye out for that guy. I may cast my eyes now and then in
anticipation, but why should I actively search? Why? Because, at that time of
God, He will be the one to stop (because He knows exactly who that guy is,
whereas I have no idea) and say to me with a smile, “There he is. There is the
one I’ve picked out for you.” And he will point over all the heads to the one
guy. And I will smile too. Together He will lead us as we come together and
join hands. And then we will not stop; we, together, will keep following on
that path with and towards God. And then our children will come alongside us
and we will keep walking with God until that end of reaching the pearly gates.
There is no
waiting around. That would only be meaningless and a waste of time. Because how
then would we find each other? We do not know what the other looks like. Yes,
technically, I am “waiting” or “reserving” myself for that guy. But I am not
stopped. And I have hope enough to keep walking though it may lead me away from
him. Because God has my good in mind, He will not let me drift far that I will
never find the guy. And I pray that be true of him as well.
