Yeh, at 46, still looking for "the love of my life".... or am I?
Over lunch the other day I was telling a story to my friend and she said, "could be the love of your life." "Yeh, right, of course." I thought. As I was driving home though I was listening to some of my music (i.e. Christian) and was listening to the words of a song. It was all about how he (the Lord) loves me. It was then that the two thoughts connected:
Jesus is really the love of my life!
Who else knows me better? Who else loves me more... faults, scars et al? Ultimately, who already died for me, not who would 'take a bullet' for me? JESUS. JESUS. JESUS.
Now that I realized the love of my life, I suppose the next question is am I in love with Him? Do I know Him better than anyone else? Do I love Him more than anyone else? Would I give anything to be with Him?
Can I say with the psalmist, "...my soul longs for you Oh God..." (Psalm 42:1) ? Hmmm.......

Maureen, everything is God's will. It's not our will, God's will. There will be time where we struggle and things don't go the way we want, but God has a reason for it. Rather or not you find the love of your life, it's all up to God's will.
My pastor used this following prayer a few weeks ago. I thought it was very inspiring and made me realize a lot of things. I hope you pray this prayer as well.
"God, Your will. Nothing more. Nothing less. Nothing Else. Amen." -Bobby Richardson
Jesus loves us all!
