It seems like everyone is either in a relationship, desiring a relationship, or are like married. As a young adult it’s easy to get caught up in the idea of dating … as humans I think we have some sort of genetic makeup that fills us with a longing for romantic involvement and relationships. It’s like we need that companionship. As for myself, I searched for some sort of insight on the subject. I knew that the constant need for a companion wasn’t the best choice for my life. I knew that relationships were more of a hindrance in the end, but why? Now I am by no means an expert on relationships; however, one day God just gave me the answer to my question. A complete epiphany as I walked up the stairs to my room that completely made connected all the dots. You see in order for each of us to fulfill our call and all of God’s plans for our lives have to reach a certain point in our walk and grow to a certain point before we can really step into that. Don’t get me wrong we should forever be growing and developing ourselves as well as our relationship on God, but in order for us to focus and embrace our purpose regardless of our interactions with others we have to reach that level. And then God said this to me… you see how much your growing and what I’m doing inside of you, are you ready to meet your husband? If you were to meet your husband right now and begin a relationship and he was at the same level as you, do you think you would want to see those underdevelopment's in him? You see if we enter a relationship before God’s timing before he has prepared us even if it is the one, it will fail because we aren’t the people that God designed for each other. I don’t know about you but that hit me hard. I reflected on my own spiritual life and realized that if I wanted to marry a strong man of God in his will, I needed to grow to be a strong woman of God. The woman who spiritually would be a good match for that man of God. I know that even now, I still need to work on areas in order to be a wife that would be uplifting and fulfill the roles that the kind of husband I want would need. And until then, I can’t fulfill my side of a relationship. I for one, have decided to grow and strive to develop into the wife God wants me to be instead of wasting my time in “relationships” that aren’t of God and will ultimately fail in the end anyways so that I can be the best for my future husband. Shouldn’t it be our goal to become the best for whatever or whoever God has planned for us instead of wounding ourselves in relationships that we selfishly plan for ourselves? Just a thought.
