The most frequently asked question for me these months is, "Do you have a girl friend?" Several people started inquire about these things on me. Some are from my mother's generations and some are from my generation. Men and women alike. I guess many of them asked me because they are curious and just want to know a little bit and some because they want to be one. Just kidding.Well, as you might guess... My answer is,"No... Not yet". I had never had a real girlfriend. May be simply because it's not yet time. Honestly, I am not that passionate about that but yes, of course I want to get married one day. It is a matter of time.
While it sounds simple and trivial, I think quite seriously on this matter. I can say that I am being too sophisticate and somehow choosy. I really hope that I will get a little bit illumination, patience and humility when the time arrives to really open my heart to build a loving and sanctifying relationship of man and woman, living in a Christ-like manner.
Speaking about patience and wait for the Lord to work in our life, it is such a struggle. Now I remember how Isaac met Rebecca, or how Tobias met his wife. Those stories are very beautiful and edifying. Just be cool, man! And obediently wait for the Lord's hands to guide us and place us in the best one according to His will. Personally for me, the challenge in this matter comes from my own commitment to trust the Lord for He knows and gives the wisest and best answer. Yet, many times temptations come either from 'social pressure' or from my own urge for instant gratification. But His love endures forever! I trust He deems best and May the Lord guide and sustain us even when we fall to abide and obey His will! Amen.
