All my single ladies can agree that the we dread that one question coming home for the holiday...."soooooo, have you met the one yet?" I usually reply with some smart comment or laugh it off so people stop talking about it. I am single, and I have been my whole life. I have managed 20 years of my life without someone's arm to hang on to and honestly, I have been fine that way. But lately, I have been thinking about it a lot. And if your anything like me, it's easy to ask why. Why haven't I ever dated before? What is so wrong with me that no one is interested in me? The other day I found myself frustrated with these questions, so I asked The Lord. Without even hesitating, He reminded me of this truth.
If we got what we ordered online right away, it wouldn't be what we ordered. Sure, it will be the pieces, but not the full quality we payed for. It takes time to get something because they have to build it and create it. Some take more than others, because they are more complex, but they come out beautiful and worth the wait in the end. You just have to wait. Like this, the man of your dreams is being built, but if you got him the moment you prayed to God about him, he wouldn't be fully ready. God is preparing him, just like He is you, but you have to be patient in waiting to receive him, that gift, because the maker is making a masterpiece and won't ship it until he is ready for you.
Be patient, just a little longer.
