LoL I wasn't looking for a wife when I first met mine... I was looking for an ice cream sunday….. walked into a Dairy Queen and God touched me on the shoulder and quietly said there she is.... You never know when He will send someone your way that will love you like we are supposed to.... anyway don't give up on him, just carry on with life and make the most of it and He will make the things come along as needed... My son got married quickly and it fell apart.... I doubt he will ever trust anyone with his heart again.... Lol dairy queen. that's nice. it always happens when least expected doesn't it? ) but that's a wonderful story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if ill be married or not I just don't want it to consume my life more than it already has. That just tells me it wasn't the will of God. and that could be for many reasons.

For God knows if marriage will be better or not for me and that other person for his will in our lives. Some people may want to, but little do they know, most marriages these days ruin peoples wonderful happy lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those who marry wont fully live for God as a single person can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually something I'm just discovering..people use the whole if you delight in god he'll give you the desires of youre heart. Not always. It has to be his will..it'll upset a lot of singles ..it upset me but It all depends on Gods will and I'm just trying to learn to surrender desires that may not be what God wants for me.

I don't have a magnificent relationship wth God like paul did, I don't hear God at every turn..I struggle for guidance, I struggle with everything concerning God. to not hear his voice and have no one either is really lonely and depressing.

Psalms 37;4 is highly misunderstood, especially by non believers. It's not that God will give you what you want, it is that God will take your desires, burn them to ashes and replaces them with his desires for you to have that are like his desires. Basically, he want give you what you want, but he will make you want something he wants. He will transform your desires to be godly. That verse really took an impact on my life.

I recognize his voice now though as scripture says his people do. You just may need to give it time and seek the Lord for spiritual growth, maybe even find some people to grow with, but overall, depend on the Lord to get you there, not someone else or yourself.

No offense, but its not like meeting someone at a store, fast food place, being neighbors, etc. But much more like a drama movie of a man and woman, led by God to fight for love to be together.
