"For I know the plans I have for you, says the
Lord; thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
" Jeremiah 29:11
You need to understand how God works in your life,
otherwise you may be disgusted with him for no reason. How many people have
abandoned the faith because they thought that God was thwarting their dreams?
How many people are afraid to pray and trust in God, because they think he will
always say 'NO' to your prayers?
I want to share something with you. Since Jesus came
into my life, I began to dream of the day I would marry a woman of God. I was
willing to date only once and then get married, not wanting to suffer again, as
happened in the past. But that's not what happened ... I had some flirtations
with evangelical that did not work and lasted a short time. Until I began to
think that God was not listening to my prayers. I often wondered:
"Is there something wrong with me? Why does God
want me to suffer again? Does he not know that my dream is to marry? Will I
ever be happy in the sentimental area? What do I need to meet someone sent by
God ? "
I believe you have also asked these questions ... But
despite all the frustration and loneliness that tried to discourage me, I
decided to continue trusting God and not lost hope. FAITH became my companion
and I believed that if nothing worked out as I wanted, because it still was not
the right time or the right door.
Then I opened my heart to God and decided to wait in
Him alone. (Not that I have locked myself in my room, waiting for my future
wife knocking on my door). On the contrary, I'm even more involved with church
activities and tried to meet new people, but always waiting on God. Time
passed, and much sooner than I imagined, I met my wife in an evangelical camp.
Today we are married for almost three years and we are very happy and blessed!
But you might wonder, "What I Did God can do the
same with me?" CLARO, if you believe and not give up on the "closed
doors"! Give your dreams in the hands of God and know that He also dreams
of you. If you have prayed and asked Him, there is no reason to doubt his
character. Meditate on His word and you will see that God never forsakes the
children who wait on Him!
"Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has
perceived, and no eye has seen a God besides you, who works for those who wait
for him." (Isaiah 64: 4)
