“Blessed is she who has believe that what He has said to her will be accomplished.”About 5 years ago, I was leading a girl’s small group, and this verse hit me like a ton of bricks. I had a pretty big crush at the time and this was just the confirmation I needed to know that he was The One. (Spoiler Alert: He wasn’t.)
~Luke 1:45
Seven years ago, I was fundraising for my future work with the Navigators, and I had a bizarre experience. While I was meeting with people to ask for support, three different men (two pastors and a strong spiritual leader) told me essentially the same thing: “You know He has someone special picked out for you, right?”
In my impatience, I began looking around every corner for this man of whom they had spoken. Hence the major crush a few years later, and some serious confusion following it. “But hadn’t God said…?”
This morning I finally got it. It wasn’t meant to confirm that I should be interested in an unbeliever. It was meant to remind me to stay the course. To trust the Lord to chose the right person at the right time for the right reasons. Blessed is the girl who puts her love life completely in God’s hands.
