Over the past four years, I’ve met a handful of boys that all made my heart come alive in different ways. Some set wildfires and others were just little sparks. But each left it’s own impact and scars.
‘Maybe if I say I’m content in the Lord enough, I will actually believe it and he will bring me someone’ I thought this to myself constantly.
But the thing is God doesn’t play games. He knows our hearts intentions better than we do. He knows when the timing is right and when it is not. He loves us and wants the very best for us.
Throughout my singleness, I always felt like God was with holding. As if I were doing something wrong and that’s why he was so intent on keeping me alone. Why else would heartbreak feel like a never ending cycle?
Now I realize, he used all those boys, all those almost’s, to draw me that much closer to him. To experience the thing that everyone has been saying, Jesus is so much better. You won’t know the fullness of God until you experience the emptiness of everything else.
All of the wrongs didn’t lead me to Mr. Right, they lead me to the end of my own understanding-they lead me to Jesus.
