A Thought for Today


Just a quick thought for the weekend. 

While chilling on Pinterest the other day I came across a pin that said:

"My future husband somewhere praying that I'm not dating anyone and the Lord is answering him."

I read it aloud to my mom who was standing nearby. She laughed and then said, "That is so sweet."Her words took me aback as I had seen the pin more on the pathetic and humorous side, not necessarily the sweet one, but mom's perspective convicted me. Isn't that what I really wanted, to just date the man I will marry? Absolutely! So, why would I pity myself (and want others to pity me too) if I'm currently not or haven't dated anyone else? Isn't that what I want for my future man, to wait just for me and not treat dating like a game? 

This season has been one of great need and so often my heart has cried out to the Lord for help and relief. Last week, I received this verse of comfort,

"...If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink."
John 7:37b

Jesus fulfills. He satisfies the longings of a soul and the thirstings of a heart. If you are in that season of waiting and wondering, keep your eyes on Jesus. Allow Him to fill your heart. After all, He made it, don't you think He knows the best way to satisfy it?
