He is not going to be perfect, but he will be a vessel of honor to the Lord. As I am being transformed into a vessel of honor as well. Yesterday, the Lord also spoke to me something about relationships that I had not yet realized.
That truth is that regardless who we are meant to be with, the relationship/connection isn't about us. It's not about does he drive the right car, have perfect teeth, has no money in the bank, or does he sing to me on our wedding day. It does however, have everything to do with the reason why the Lord created each of us.
The will of God is the reason.
So, as I've found myself and couple of great girls in a puzzle, we call life, at the moment going through somewhat very similar situations. I realized we can think of the many reasons why things aren't working out with (in my case the man of my dreams <--I think right? ;-)), it doesn't really matter why the Lord said to drop it or let him go the other way if thats where he's really headed.
Because as my beautiful and talented friend Ericka put it: God takes out pieces from the puzzle box and switches them around until you really get to that exact piece (or the right season to put the piece in); or he has you working on a different section of the puzzle (or your life) at the moment and really wants you to focus on that.
Regardless the Lord has everything working together for the good of those who love him. Also, lets not forget he is sovereign! A sovereign God knows what he is doing, as he reigns in in our life (I hope, we've all come to that realization). So, why get caught up in the why? I'm sure it will not gain us another want executed on our to do list. What it will do however, is gain us unnecessary worry, hurt and cause us to waste precious time we all know is limited (again, another hope).
God is so good, I only can hope I can focus on that and let the rest to Him, as I learn more and more who I am in him.
"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God." Phil 4:6 Also, "we truly live if we stand in him (I Thes. 3:8)
We just are extremely blessed to have a God who cares about what we do want to see, and "as we hope for what we do not see we eagerly await with perseverance (Rom. 8:25)."
