Write my Love Story....

One of my all time favorite love stories is that of isaac and rebeckah. For those of you unfamiliar with said story isaac was ready to marry and he went to his father abraham, they prayed about it and abraham sent one of his servants out to find isaac's bride.

I find myself inexplicabley drawn to this servant. Here he was setting off with this impossible task... He was supposed to find the perfect woman for isaac. Let's keep in mind my technologically advanced friends that in those days there was no such thing as eharmony or match.com. No personality tests to unlock your inner psyche or keywords to help you search. He was totally flying blind on this one. How intimidating would that be? But this servant was smart... He turned to God and asked Him to make it obvious who the right woman was. He asked God for several signs and was led to a girl named Rebeckah.

The servant was certain that she was the one but the final decision was her's. Did she leave with this stranger to join in marriage to a man she'd never met or did she play it safe and stay with her family? --marry a nice boy from the neighborhood and start a family... She chose to take a leap of faith and the way i read the story when isaac and rebeckah met for the first time there was no mistaking that this was meant to be! God wrote their perfect love story.

I don't know about you but sometimes i forget that God has a plan when it comes to my love life. I find myself wanting to rush the process and that never works out well. It's easy in a society that puts so much value on relationships to forget that just because you're single doesn't mean you shouldn't be falling in love. God is teaching us something and giving us an oppurtunity to fall deeper and deeper in love with Him -to connect to Him in a way that will strengthen our future partnership with our spouse. He's telling you 'just trust me to write your love story.' Wow.

My favorite part about that beautiful love story is that they only had to do three things: pray, wait, and act. It seems so simple so why do we make it so complicated? Trust God to write your love story- i can't think of a better author.
