I am a young adult, who like most young adults, wonders “when will I ever find someone?”  For quite some time, I had turned my back from God, thinking my way was better and definitely more exciting.  It was not until a certain night last week that I was completely and utterly helpless. I realized, in between sobs, that I had put so little trust in God and all of my trust in trying to make a relationship happen with the opposite sex, that I was ready to date whomever passed my way.  I needed help, and I vocalized this need to Jesus. I can positively say that He heard me, because as I was sobbing, the thought to read Psalms came into my mind. When I opened up to Psalms, I came across the verse “Take Delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). This was EXACTLY what I was struggling with! I did not want to settle for a mediocre Christian guy, when I thought the attractive worldly guys were overpopulated!  God was clearly showing me that He knows very well what I desire (He put those desires there, by the way) and that all I have to do is delight in Him and in His timing, He will lead me to the RIGHT man. 

The God story does not end there.  I picked up a book (

) from my bookshelf, that I knew I should read.  Inside, I found a letter written to myself, that I had wrote more than a year ago.  It read, “...Nothing you try to arrange will work. Let God work! Stop worrying. God knows your desires to be married and find a real love one day, but He has you single for a reason. Seek His kingdom first”

Needless to say, the puddle of praise on my pillow was accumulating to a point of uncleanliness. But I did not care!  My God was speaking to me loud and clear: Trust in ME, I know your desire to be loved, Let me love you first.
