God doesn’t want you to be lonely. However, God wastes nothing. Even though God wants you to be satisfied in him, in a healthy community, and thriving in a godly relationship (if that’s his will), there’s often a process God will put you through rather than just magically ending your loneliness.
No matter what, you are all in with life. You can’t stop the clock. There’s no pause button. Every day, you are spending the resources God has given you. Whether you are sitting alone on your coach, traveling the world with a group of friends, or you are serving those in need, God will judge you on how you are spending the life he has given you.
There’s always a purpose for everything God has you going through. Even when you wish you were in a great relationship right now but you are alone, God has an important reason for this.
Every guy is different, so we don’t want to overgeneralize how a certain group of men will behave. With that said, if you were going to divide good men into two camps, one way you could do that would be the expressive group and the quiet group.
If you really like someone that you can’t be with right now, it’s natural to pray, “Lord, if you don’t want me with this person, please take away my feelings for them.”
Imagine that you work in a factory and one day your boss comes up to you and says, “I’m not going to give you the supplies you need anymore to make the products you are required to make. But, I’m still going to expect you to produce the same amount every day.” You are then forced to outsource what used to be provided for you. Obviously this would take a lot longer.
Is God about to change his assignment for you? Will you know how to prepare for this change and how to properly follow the Lord’s leading once it’s time?
Sometimes God gives you a verse that clearly answers your question. Sometimes you hear the Holy Spirit obviously tell you what you need to hear in your heart. And sometimes the circumstances in your life make God’s answer to you unmistakable.
When God reveals the one to you, this process will include both patience and action, waiting and moving forward, doing and letting God move on your behalf.
I recently watched the movie called Redeeming Love with my wife. First off, I know the sex scenes in this movie have many people divided over whether or not Christians should even see this movie. And most of the reviews of this movie have focused on that question. That’s not going to be the focus of my review. Rather, I want to talk about some things I learned about women after watching this movie.
