I have attempted to find love on my own instead of basking in this time of singleness and letting God transform me into the woman he has destined me to become. How could I be a girlfriend, a wife, if God says I am not ready? That would be very stupid of me to find love on my own and attempt to make things happen on my own. This is possibly a reason why so many marriages end up in divorce or end up being horrible marriages because we as believers do not wait. We fail to go to sleep and let God create and form our future.
Im starting to see that the purpose for marriage isnt to fulfill your own needs or for you to be served. But instead, in a marriage, you are supposed to serve your spouse. You are supposed to love your spouse. And most importantly you are supposed to draw your spouse closer to God in the way you love, treat, and live. The type of love you find in a marriage that is of God is agape. This is the highest form of love presented in the bible. Agape is the type of love when one expresses the love of God to others. Agape is the love that gives them self for the sole purpose of benefiting others. How amazing would it be to experience this type of love from another human being?
I want to be the kind of wife that diligently expresses this type of love towards others and specifically her husband. I am asking that God gives me this type of love and shows me how to expose agape love for those around me. I want him to begin preparing me for my husband.
I am reminded that when you sleep, God does his best work. Look at the story of Adam and Eve. Adam was aware that he was in need of a partner after naming all of the animals. Can you imagine what would of happened if he had attempted to find his partner instead of letting God bring him his partner. God simply expressed to Adam his need and therefore Adam was aware of that need. When God created Eve, he did not just put on Earth, say some magic words and place her in Adam's presence. Instead, God had Adam GO TO SLEEP, and He brought Eve. He handcrafted Eve.......specifically for HIM.
I have been aware of my desire and need for some time now and have tried to find my partner without letting God. So today, I am going to sleep. I know God is bringing my husband and creating him and I specifically for each other. I can not wait to wake up and see my husband standing above me ready to take his bride. I know he is coming for me and I am ready to wait.
Until then, I will dwell and abide in the Lord and become all that he has intended me to become. For I belong to Him.
Lord do you work!
Okay.....off to slumber. :)
