"When you let God be the writer of your love story."
It can be a little cliché to hear people say:
“Wait for God’s timing.”
“The Lord knows the perfect person for you.”
“Keep serving God, and in His perfect time, He will bring someone into your life.”»
And honestly, sometimes, waiting can take a while.
There may even come a point when you get tired of waiting and start thinking, “Maybe I should just find my own way. Maybe I should take matters into my own hands and find that person myself. Maybe nothing would happen if I didn't do anything.”
But when you read the Bible, you’ll notice something beautiful about the way God brought people together.
Take Rachel, for example. Rachel didn’t have to go looking for Jacob. She was simply living her ordinary day. She went to the well—and at that seemingly ordinary moment, Jacob saw her.
She wasn’t desperately searching for someone. She was simply living her life, and God allowed their paths to cross at the right time.
And then there’s Ruth and Boaz.
After Ruth lost her husband, she didn’t go looking for another man. She focused on what she needed to do that day. She went to a field to gather grain and provide for herself and Naomi.
But God had a different plan.
Out of all the fields she could have gone to, Ruth ended up in Boaz’s field. It wasn’t just a random coincidence. God was intentionally directing her steps toward the person He had prepared for her.
And the rest is history.
So today, let this be a reminder: you don’t always have to find your own way.
Yes, waiting for God’s plan and timing can be exhausting. Sometimes, you’ll wonder if anything is ever going to happen. Sometimes, you’ll be tempted to take control and write the story yourself.
But trust Him.
Because when you let God write your love story, you may not know how the next chapter will unfold—but you can trust the Author.
When the Lord is the writer, the story will always be better than anything we could write for ourselves.
