My first love should be Christ. Every
other relationship is secondary. If my
relationship with Him is rocky, then
all others will be challenged at best.
So I have to sort out ours first. I’m
not at the level of intimacy I desire;
but it’s getting there. And the closer I
get to God the more content and at
peace I feel in my singleness. There’s
no desperation. No depression. No
anxiety over trying to find a man
before (as I’ve been often warned)
things “dry up”. If God does not allow
it, then His purpose for my life will
still be a fulfilling and enriching
experience.
Now, if Mr. Right-For-Nadia is
actually on a divinely-orchestrated
“go-slow”, I patiently (and happily)
wait . God’s timing is perfect. I
can’t stress how much so.
Didn’t always acknowledge that fact,
of course, but I believe that with my
whole heart. He knows best who will
enhance my life and vice versa. His
desire is that my earthly relationship
glorifies Him and reflects the
commitment and selfless love He and
I should share. For that kind of
relationship I am willing to wait.
Don’t think I’ve reached this level of
contentment overnight.
Introspection, words of counsel
(heard and read), prayer, and more
prayer did that. That prayer aspect it is a balm for the soul.
