Sometimes I sit and wonder...

Sometimes I sit and wonder about love and marriage. During those times I wonder how I will know and when I will know for certain God has brought "the one" He's chosen into my life. You may have similar thoughts too. Perhaps you are having those thoughts right now. And if you are already married, you may have had these thoughts one time or another before you said,... "I do." I admit, trusting God is not easy for me, and in fact, I sometimes even doubt I have been trusting at all, yet knowing He has brought two people together in a life long marriage must be a wonderful experience. Thankfully as Christians we can rest in knowing that God's timing is different than ours but two people He has chosen can focus on His word together and be brought even closer to the one who Created us and saved us from sin and the wrath to come. Together, two people God has chosen can experience His love and what He wants for us on earth all the while being brought closer and closer each day. Two people can challenge one another and help each other to grow in the Lord. Two people God has chosen can support and uphold one another through Christ Jesus who strengthens us each individually. Assuming Christ leaves us here a bit longer on earth and He allows me to experience marriage, I hope I will be able to fulfull and experience these requests. You may be hoping for the same. I pray for the moments in which such things can be shared and experienced. Sometimes I sit and wonder about a relationship wrapped in the love of Christ, where two people chosen by God can both share a life together and share in life as He ordains it.
