I am waiting for you!
Hey bloggers!
A good friend once said, God will reveal to us, who we will marry in His own timing. This is very true. Sometimes we think if we choose our own “husband” that God will change His plan to suit us. Come one…how crazy is that, He is our creator and the giver of life, don’t you think His plan is perfect?
Ok, so if you agree with this, now what? Well, it certainly doesn’t mean that you go looking for you husband. You don’t ask God “Is he my husband?” every time you meet another Christian brother. But instead, look to your Christian brothers as actual brothers. After all, they are your brothers, and if you see them as such, then you take away one important factor which can only cause confusion of ungodly. What am I talking about? Feelings!! Lust of the flesh! If look at a Christian brother, and begin to wonder if he is your husband, then you can begin to develop feelings for this person. If he is not your husband, then it’s lust of the flesh!
Whereas, if you look to your Christian brother as a brother, you will see them in a different light. You can have a completely different friendship with them. A friendship that will not be tainted with lust of the flesh. (well, there’s a higher chance that this won’t happen, if you guys see each other as brother and sister instead of husband and wife) trust me, I know. I have male friends who I have always viewed as my brother in the Lord, and I have those who I thought I could have married. My relationship with my brothers, is so much more rewarding, than that of those others.
So, when you meet a Christian brother, look to him as a brother, and befriend him like you would a brother. Value this friendship and you never know what will happen. People, we are not running out of time, God’s time is different yet perfect for us all!!
peace

Well i for one dont look at my Christian brothers in that way... not all of them anyway lol. Ok forget I said that lol. I am continually amazed (does that make sense?) by the friends God has blessed me with - such a difference from this time last year. The guys that I know now are so different, so nice and i really do feel like they are my brothers!! Its like having an extended family, i love it :) I also think its such a major thing being friends with a guy first. Some ppl have said to me "if you become good friends with a guy he'll only ever see you as a friend, nothing more" and I'm like NO HE WONT! If we're meant to be together we'll be friends, then good friends, then great friends and eventually a relationship will blossom from that :) I dont get how ppl can start relationships when they've only just met - it gives me the creeps lol. And it is so important to see your Christian friends as brothers or sisters cos you cant make it happen - even if you have feelings for someone friendship always comes first - you have to pray bout it, ask God to show you what his will is. It might seem boring and hard but think of the reward - I'm so excited to see who God has for me!

The Christian unity is a powerful experience and of joy - do we abuse that unity?
When our thoughts may wander from that what we are here for - Christian thoughts!!
Perhaps I am guilty of that too, for when I look around a congregation at families, couples and even singles -
I may say to myself - here I am "Still Waiting" - but no one hears!!
for the congregation their thoughts are within their own -
But God does hear us all - "I may be like a worn out record" but God will still listen to me.
Christian unity is special and all the more so - if we reflect on that.
