REAL TALK from KB:
Jehovah-jireh- ehovah-jireh (or Yahweh-yireh, will provide).
Remember this phrase there will be a quiz later….
So, I’ve been
pondering this question: How do you know that you’ve found “the one?”
Now, I could give you
the answers that my secular (fleshly being) would give….when you think of the
other persons happiness above your own, when you can disagree on something and
still come together for a common goal, it just “feels” right, the sex is great
(keep it real y’all…some of us base whole relationships on sexual tension and
compatibility.) I’m sure if I could expand and expound on this list if I think
about long enough…trouble is I can’t because if I consider any of these
separate and apart from God I’m setting myself up for failure; hence, the
opening sentence….Jehovah jireh.
I used to focus on the
immature cornerstones of relationships…you know, looks and feelings and I had
the nerve to act surprised when my cornerstones didn’t support what I called
myself building.
I have learned to stop
trusting kismet, fate, the stars, and myself (not that I can’t make a decision
but I know that the brain often stops working in affairs of the heart). I trust
God to provide THAT’S IT AND THAT’S ALL! I can only go so far on feelings and
fate; I make my petition known to God and I trust HIM to supply according to my
need….REAL TALK Y’ALL what we often want can kill us….
How do you know you’ve
found the one? – TRUST GOD!
