Waiting on the Lord for a Godly Relationship

I had people say I was crazy or foolish for wanting to keep myself till I get married. That I wasn't being realistic in this day and age. I didn't always live this way, let's be real, but by His grace, I remained patient; I obeyed God in telling me to cut off the people he knew weren't for me. I stayed in the Word, resisted the tempting text messages, pictures and phone calls that would lead me out the door & laid up in some man's bed.
Some nights I would come home from work (I get off at 10:30 pm) and I would literally study the Word and allow the Holy Spirit to teach me new things for 6-7 hours straight! Don't believe me?--I have TWO former roommates that can testify to getting up & ready for their 1st shift jobs and I would still be up or just going to bed. I was hungry for JESUS!!

Staying focused on building my relationship with Christ allowed HIM to make me over in some areas of my life (not the other way around). I believed God's word that says He's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:3) & it paid off. He's blessed me with someone who's perfect for ME & just as much about the Lord's business as I am. Was it an easy process? No.. Did I still make mistakes along this journey? OH YES!! I wasn't always a godly woman; in fact, I was quite "ratchet" before that word even existed LOL!!

Nonetheless, I pressed forward and when I began to know my worth in Christ FIRST..., THEEENNN I was able to properly guard my heart & what that did was hide me from those who could not find me without looking through HIS lenses. Don't be weary in well doing & don't waste your single life idolizing on a husband or wife--WAIT ON GOD!! Trust me when I say his timing is PERFECT.

Hi there! :D I find your post very reassuring. Currently, I am like the "previous" you... waiting for love to come. I am at a cross-road right now as the guy I like "most probably" (I don't know for sure) is not a christian. And boy, I am really struggling big time to let go and let God. As I search in His Word and for fellow believers like you about what the biblical point of view about this is, I found your post. And for that, I would like to thank you. Aside from reminding me of God's promises, you gave me a credible example of the reality of the struggle and triumph when it comes to waiting on the Lord in love. I am happy to hear that by doing so, you are now enjoying loving someone and loving the Lord at the same time. God bless you and your family more and more! :D

Thank you for sharing your testimony about God's love & faithfulness. I am also waiting on God for a relationship with a purpose to glorify Him. I am 34 years old and hace recently discovered that I have uterine body masses that are big and need to be removed. And then one get commebts that "you better make babies quickly".. It is fustrating at times. .. but I will wait on the Lord!
