Proverbs 19:14 Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. NIV
During my service year, a sister sent her pictures( several postures) to me via email. Prior to that time, she visited where we lived as youth corpers trying to get my attention. The distance from her place to where we lived was about 2 hours driving distance
It took a while before I knew what was going on. Later, she told my predecessor that I was interested in her. This is a sister I can't remember greeting let alone talking to her. I don't even have her phone number.
However, my predecessor was discerning enough to know something wasn't adding up in her story because she sounded desperate. It is abnormal to beg for love and marriage.
She opened up to him that she took my name and others somewhere where they told her that among others, my morning, afternoon and evening time of life is good. Hearing that, she began to pursue me.
Talking to my predecessor in the fellowship, she thought he could convince me to marry her since he's someone I respect. Thank God he discerned that she was just ruled by senses not the Spirit.
After service year, this lady went ahead to inform her pastor that I was interested in her. One day, a man called introducing himself as her pastor.
He asked If I was interested in her spiritual daughter. I told him I wasn't interested in her at all because I never had a single conversation with her on that. She was the one chasing me sending pictures. That was the end of our conversation.
Dear single, God is a master match-maker. He cannot fix you wrongly. You've paraded yourself before men for too long so that you can be noticed. What some sisters do to be noticed by brothers can be funny.
Some brothers have resorted into interviewing sisters via social media to ascertain if they fit their specification. Do you think you'll get sincere and honest answers that way?
If you ask a lady looking for husband if she love God, do you think she will say no? You'll only discover that she loves all the things you love automatically because she can sense what you want to hear.
Anyone can tell you what you want to hear the moment they sense desperation in you. You need to rest in God's eternal love and trust his ability to give you your spouse. The moment you exclude God from your search( which most people do), you'll resort to gimmicks.
I love what King Solomon said, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT)
Father, I receive the grace to be patient and to be led by your Spirit in Jesus name.
