God's voice, often a whisper,
I have chosen for you a life which is abundantly full of every good thing (Jn10:10; Ps 84:11).
What looks good to you now may not be good for you twenty or thirty years from now.
But I am the great I Am.
I see your whole life, the present and the future (Ps 139:16).
And I love you (Jer 31:3).
I have plans for you which you cannot even imagine ( Jer 29:11; 1 Cor 2:9).
I may give you the gift of singleness (1 cor 7:7, 25-39; Mt 19:10-12).
Or you may discover that my plans include marriage.
Next week or next year I may bring into your life a person who will love you with a love that only my Spirit can inspire.
Wait for this person.
The one who is my choice for you will love you as I love you.
I will not force you to marry my choice. And I will not prevent you from marrying your choice. But do not be deceived: you will reap what you sow (Gal 6:7).
I long to do good for you (Is 30:18).
Wait for me, Christian! I will act.
