So, here is a part two blog on “A love worth waiting for…” This is a guest post from my good friend Sharon Amanda Muvara. So many words could be used to describe her, but I would just say this: she is wiser than me and it’s always a pleasure to hear the words of her heart. I enjoyed these sweet, down-to-earth words of hers and I hope you do too.

 Love, Love, Love. It’s funny how this four letter word simply turns this world around. Many young adults are running around trying to give it meaning in their lives. We break our hearts and hurt others just because we are longing for that soul that can make us feel special and that can love us; and because of many deceptions: that person that couldn’t make you ‘the one’ for more than a month or year, those dreams that got crushed, that bitter truth that came to light- everything we once believed about love turns into lies. Because of all these, because of all the expectations that were never met, young people’s lives are taking a different road, a road that is heartless and hopeless, just to feel better ‘for a while’.

But the truth is, it has never been easy. As young people, we say that nowadays things have changed. But let’s admit this, we don’t want to wait for anything, we don’t want to fight for anything, we just want a tic tac life. And the God we always claim to believe in is just a portrait in our lives. We think He can’t be involved in our love life not because He can’t, but because we think He won’t be as fast as we want Him to be or won’t give us that person we deeply adore. Yet we forget that He told us to cast all our cares on Him for He cares for us. We may be thinking that it’s part of our responsibility to handle our love life but He said it well, cast “all” your cares. Just like we expect the person who really loves us like our parents to care for what we care about, to value our dreams as if they were theirs, and to love our friends just as we love them, how much would we expect from Our father in heaven, who knew us before we were even formed in our mother’s womb, who purposely created us, gave us all our strength and shaped us, and who silently always brings us to a place where we need to be? What would we expect from His great love? A kind of love that gave us His only begotten son, what would we expect from those heavenly eyes that watches over us night and day? His love surpasses every kind of love we could ever encounter and it is here to stay, it’s not going anywhere. 

So chill out my friend, if He wants you to learn how to stand alone, obey and be glad in it. If He’s asking you to wait, He’ll surely provide strength for each and everyday, for He does it all that for your own good. He’s protecting you, shaping you, molding you in to the ‘best’ person that somebody out there deserves. He’s equipping you with everything you’ll need on your love journey; He’s filling you with everything that person will expect from you; He knows there will come a day where all the love and spark will vanish and troubles will come your way. He thought of that, that’s why he’s teaching you how to be patient, that’s why he’s revealing to you what matters most in life, giving you enough strength and maturity, and most importantly enough of Him so you can love like He loved and still love you.

Stop looking around, stop worrying, stop creating some shortcuts just because the future isn’t clear enough. For no matter how far you can stretch your arms, you can never have all the things your heart desires, but in Him you’ll find contentment for the little you have. He cares for you, He cares for you, He cares for you. Cast ALL your worries, confusion, impatience and weaknesses on Him and He will surely come through for you! He may not come as soon as you want Him to but He will not delay, surely He will come on time and all the things you had to endure will be worth it.
