A womans heart..

As I was sharing a quiet moment with myself and God yesterday I came across this quote, "A womans heart should be so lost in God that a man must seek him to find her."

How often do we settle? Settle for someone who we think will make us feel complete? Who will make us feel less alone? Or who, for a moment, makes us feel loved? .....Just when I vowed not to settle, ever again in my life, I realize that once again, I am. In the past year I have faced challenges of many kinds. Relationships, loss of ones I love, and the hard truth of who I really am inside. After all of this I told myself I will never settle for anything less than what I deserve. But, patience has gotten the best of me and I lost sight of what is important. Instead of giving my life to God and letting him guide me, I have tried to guide myself and my heart. As I was talking with God yesterday and asking him to give me a sign I came across this quote that I had taped in my bible. "A womans heart should be so lost in God that a man must seek him to find her."

I do not believe in coincidence. I believe that God has a part in every step I take and this was no coincidence. I have become impatient with finding, "the one" so much that I have lost sight of the true "one", God. He should be the basis of my heart and I should not settle for anyone that doesn't have that same view. Sometimes, I am afraid in this world to stand up for what I believe in. It can be scary to walk around in a world where "God" is a word that a lot of people cringe at. But, to me, he is the word. He is the one that completes me, loves me no matter what, and who makes me feel less alone. And the beautiful part is, even when I turn my back on him, he would never turn his back on me. If I never marry, or find the love of my life, it is ok, because it is the plan that God has for me.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.~Jeremiah 29:11.....I am not perfect, none of us are. I have turned my back on the Lord, one too many times. Out of impatience or restlessness for the future but I take comfort in knowing that as many times as I lose hope in him, he never loses hope in me. Everything that is meant to happen for me, will happen, in Gods time. We should all try to trust this a little more. Sure, there are people who will try to distract you from the word of God, but don't let them, pray for God to give you strength and do not settle for a prince, wait for a king who's heart is also so lost in the Lord that you too will have to seek his word in order to get to this mans heart. Just because something that you want isn't happening right now doesn't mean it will never happen, it just means it isn't the right time yet. I am confident that when I meet the man of my dreams, God will have a big part in our coming together. These things cannot be forced, and I will not try to guide my life anymore. I will surrender my heart to the Lord and he will guide my life in whichever way he wants. Because his plans for me are so beyond my wildest expectations that it only makes sense to let him guide my life. And when all of my dreams come true, it will all be worth the tears, and sacrifices because it is the life that GOD intended for me.

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."~Mark 11:22
