WHAT TO DO WHILE YOU’RE WAITING FOR YOUR RIGHTFUL PARTNER

The time of waiting for a life partner, is a time when lot of people get anxious. Some are even filled with fear of the unknown, and others are just out to accept anyone who comes there way due to the fact that they have waited for too long.

The time of waiting is a time when most times, some even give up hope completely of meeting someone. The time of waiting to some people is a time of sorrow and constant tears, crying and wondering when the loneliness will come to an end.

I understand perfectly how it feels to be lonely, and how it feels to desire to come back home to someone every day, but you see, the ways of God are not the ways of men.

The bible says in

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Irrespective of what you might be facing now, I want you to know that God has better plans for you.

Psalm 103:11

For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His loving-kindness toward them that fear Him.

God is not a man that He should lie

Numbers 23:19

 God is not a human male— He doesn't lie, nor is He a human being— He never vacillates. Once He speaks up, He's going to act, isn't He? Once He makes a promise, He'll fulfill it, won't He?

Ask yourself, what has God promise concerning my situation. He said in

Proverbs 23:18

For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

What is your expectation? Are you just crying all day, and worrying? Please have an expectation. God is a well-organized person. If you don’t have an expectation what do you want Him to grant? Hence, start by having an expectation of your glorious future because His desires towards you are of good, and not of evil. He’s not a male human that would tell lies, He keeps to His promise. He does not lack resources to fulfill His promises. The earth and all that is in it belongs to Him. He owns all, and no one owns Him. He is God, the only wise God. There is nothing impossible for Him to do. Hence, keep your hope alive, and have an expectation.

WHAT TO DO WHILE YOU’RE WAITYING

·      Keep your hope alive

By this I mean, don’t throw in the towel yet. Two hours is too much for God to change your situation. Abraham was very old, but he had hope that God would one day give him a son, which God eventually did. Don’t give up yet because to the living there is hope. God is still faithful

·      Have an expectation

Most times when people have waited for too long, they tend to accept whoever that comes their way. You are not a ‘no body’, you’re a child of the Most High King. Hence, have an expectation. Know what you want, have a dream of the kind of loving partner you would want God to bring your way. Don’t just accept anyone, have a choice. You deserve only the best, God still loves, and cares about you a lot. So, have an expectation. *Wink* (smiles)

·      Be calm

No man wants a desperate woman for a wife; neither does any woman want a desperate man. The fear would be, why the hurry, what does he want to use me for? Always take your time. Pray about it, don’t be in a hurry and then marry anyone who comes your way. Always seek the face of God to be sure if it is God’s will for you. Remember no man wants a desperate woman for a wife.

·       Look good

We would all agree that first impression counts. If you want a good man, be the good woman for that good man. If you want to marry a handsome man, be the beautiful woman for that handsome man. The truth is, you would always attract your kind. Hence, look good so the kind of man/woman you desire can find you attractive enough to accept you. You mustn’t be expensive in order to look good. You just need wisdom on how to look good and send less.

·      Be yourself

There is nothing as bad as lies. I personally hate lies as much as I hate the devil. Don’t go and lie to your partner to be who you’re not thinking that he/she would love you more, and would stay. The truth about lies is that it doesn’t last long before the truth surfaces. Hence, use your skills more meaningfully by telling the truth. By telling the truth I don’t mean going to make yourself of no value or importance. I’m just saying you shouldn’t give room for lies. And he/she would love you for who you are.

·       Don’t compare yourself with others

The truth is we all came into this world at our own time, and as such have different destines. Don’t expect your life to be like that of your friend or enemy. Your life is better the way it is, and if you don’t like your life the way it is, ask God to change things for you, but never desire to be like anyone else because you may not know what problems/challenges that person is facing, and you don’t know if you would have been able to withstand such problems had it been you were the one facing them. The truth is, no body’s life is perfect. Hence, be grateful to God for yours.

·      Keep yourself busy

Do that which you love the most, things which makes your feel fulfilled. While you believe God for your life partner, don’t stay idle, beside no man/woman wants an idle partner. Hence, pursue your dream, be that great man/woman you’ve always desired to be. The reason is when you’re busy you will have things to occupy your mind with, and you will not be worried about anything.  

·      Be thankful

One thing that makes some people not to receive from God is ingratitude. Though you’re single and desire to be married someday, and yet have not gotten a partner, still be grateful. When you’re grateful you’ll force God to act on your behalf.

Now, nothing in this life is achievable without the help of God. You will be able to do all I’ve written here only with the help of God. And how can you get the help of God?

Just say after me:

Lord Jesus, I'm a sinner, forgive my sin. Cleanse me now with your precious blood. Come into my heart. I accept you now as my Lord and personal saviour. Write my name in the book of life. I am born again. Old things are passed away, behold, all things have become new in Jesus name.

I love you deeply. God bless you and turn your story around amen.
