The What Ifs?

Love, Lust, Crushes, Dating, Marriage and Romance are all subjects that everyone has an opinion on. Should we talk to this person? Do they like me? Am I worthy of someone like this or that? Could they like someone like me? Am I cute enough? Am I tall enough? And the list goes on and the analysis of us goes on and on. The questions are different for everyone but we all have those "questions". It is so fun to think about what "could" be or what we "want" but do we ever get to a point where we totally accept the person God has made us and realize that the person He has for us is going to love us exactly where we are when we meet them? Throughout our lives we doubt who we are and what we deserve but God wants the very best for us so we should want the same thing. If He puts a desire in you there is a reason for it. Is that desire to help you grow, learn or develop a testimony for Him. God tells us that if we delight ourselves in Him then He will give us the desires of our heart. Does that mean He is going to give you everything you want? Probably not but if we are delighting in Him our desires are going to change and be more reflective of what He wants for us. Does He want us to experience the everyday crushes or the feeling of love at first sight? Absolutely, He created these emotions and He loves the fact that we are searching for His will within these emotions and asking the question What would Jesus do? Or Is it ok to tell someone how I really feel? Is it lying if I don’t tell them? Should I just wait to find out how they feel? All of this helps us to blossom the person He made us and in the process we realize what He wants us to do in every situation. So, as we go through this process of singleness be thankful for the "What if" questions and the "Imagine if" dreams because when it finally happens and it is a gift from our Father it will be so much more than we could have ever suspected.

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart

Psalms 37:4
