We all want to fall in love, but are we willing to wait for the Lord to bring the right person to us? To face what may be years waiting and wondering and relying on Him? I think that most people are too afraid to be alone and end up settling too quickly, compromising and adjusting along the way. Is it any wonder there are so many divorces every year? How many of those who rush down the aisle have truly let God in on their decision? Too often we make ourselves content with a leaky cottage when He has planned for us to live in a mansion. If only we could have waited for it. Just a thought.
I have often been told that when you are in your twenties, to give a relationship three years before you get married. If you are in your thirties, you wait two years and forties, one year. The older you get, the quicker the true colors come out. Some people think it takes that long to fall in love but that isn't the case. True love will happen instantly. The wait is to prove they are completely wrong for you because you will automatically know the ONE that is the right one.
