Not Destined For A Life Of Loneliness

To whom it may concern:

Jer. 29:11

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

 Gen 1:20-22

“..But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.”

 Gen 1:24

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

 ”Life is full of disappointments.” We have all heard this time and time again. As I contemplate this phrase, my heart is filled with a strange sense of peace, because disappointments are to be expected. The upside of all this is that, where one disappointment lies, a better alternative can be found just around the corner.  Love seems to be one of the greatest inspirers of all time. We see all over the map of this world; writer after writer conveying this beautiful being named “Love.” Lately, I have been consumed by this very concept.

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”- Christian (Moulin Rouge)

“Love? Above all things I believe in love! Love is like oxygen. Love is a many-splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!”- Christian (Moulin Rouge)

 Those quotes, though from an interesting source, speak deep to my heart, but they are bleak! The reason God created us with such a strong desire to find someone to give our hearts to and the desire to know and feel love in return isn’t merely for an earthly spouse. Could it be perhaps, that this very concept instilled in us was created for a heavenly spouse? For Him? He even went as far as to sacrficing His Son so that we could have the ability to do so. There are many reasons for us to love in this world, but if we forget who our first love is; it will defeat the whole purpose of loving at all. And how could we forget? God is love.

Romans 8:28

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

 For once in my life, I can honestly say that I’m not afraid of the future. I still wonder how everything will place and fit together, but I am one of the many that are called according to God’s purpose. This means that, if something is meant to be by God’s will, it’s going to happen. As I am human and inside the box; I can only catch glimpses of what is outside of the box. If I shove God in this box with me, I’m only restricting what He can do.

Some day God will bless me with a precious gift. I don’t know her name, nor what she looks like, but she’ll be mine to hold and to cherish above all the precious materials of this world. She will be more than my world, and I will be able to give her all this love stored within me, love greater than the universe itself.. the best love man is able to give. I will belong to her, and her to me.

 Hebrews 11:1

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

 I will have faith in my God.

 So right now, it may be the greatest possibility that I am to be romantically lonely. This could be the case, or maybe that corner is closer than I thought, I can’t know for sure, as God is outside this box. I look to my future with hope, faith and above all, love, ingrained deep within my heart because..

I am not destined for a life of loneliness.

Like Adam, a piece of me is missing, but someday God will return it to me.
