《Prose For The Soul》XVIII.
Advertisement
Do you crave for affection and love? The type that only one person to whom you are attracted can give? Do you long for a future with someone? A powerful bond that brings you closer to the Lord God and remains unshaken against all odds?
In shorter terms, are you searching for "the one"?
You know what your idea of a healthy relationship is. You know the qualities that you look for in a person. The question is, have you considered what YOU can offer?
What is the meaning of love?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
─ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 New International Version
Love is not self-seeking; meaning, love is not about merely looking out for yourself and what you desire. When it comes to relationships, we should not only think about what the other person could offer, but also what we could offer.
You are going to fall in love a number of times before you find the one with whom you will be forever. Inexorably, your heart will be bruised from time to time, though it is a normal part of the pursuit of love. With every heartache that comes, you are one step closer to Happily Ever After.
And in moments where you are crushed, God is ready to pick up the pieces and mend your heart.
Even when you are in a room filled with people, you can still feel lonely. Though those feelings will not last forever.
The Lord will make you go through hard times, but he himself will be there to teach you, and you will not have to search for him anymore.

─ Isaiah 30:20 Good News Bible
What do you request for in your prayers? God gives the things that we need at the right time. Hence, if you want God to bless you with a good spouse, conduct a devotional prayer to ask for it.
Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him for a thankful heart.
─ Philippians 4:6 Good News Bible
There are various types of love that you can nurture. Always remember to give importance to the relationship that you have with the Creator; for His love is greater than anyone else's.
Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
─ Matthew 22:37 New King James Version
Work on yourself; strive to be the best version of yourself, someone with something to offer. Shoot your shot; even when you are afraid or hesitant, feel the fear and do it, anyway. Do not close your doors to all the possibilities. At the same time, keep in mind that being single or experiencing heartbreak will not kill you.
And there will come a day when you will fully understand why your past relationships never worked out; because all this time, God has had something else in store for you. The perfect surprise.
