If you were to meet this wonderful male friend Joy who comes and communicate this one specific thing to you. That is, �Drawing you even closer to God (not that there's anything wrong with how you currently relate with God) is his ultimate mission to accomplished!�
Now this turns out to be more than just words as time passes by and your relation with him is deeply God cantered. Slowly but surely you start noting his skill of leadership that doesn't only lead you to God (since you already had your relationship with God long before he came forth) but rather he silently leads you to your female gender calling.
Further more he encourages you to go find what makes you happy, what brings self discovery to you and pursue that. As for him, his willing and ready to embrace what you willing to share with him after you've discovered yourself and where you'd wanna place him in your life. With time you realise that he actually makes you happy inasmuch as he keeps sending you away to find your own happiness else where.
Last but not least you eventually notice and get amazed at his confident of releasing you instead of reserving and keeping. As he releases, that keeps you drawn back to him at the end of the day. As for the happiness found in him you still wanna share it with him.
How do you go back to his pending request that was placed on the table in allowing you to decide where are you placing him in your life? How do you communicate your feelings and decision in this regard?
This question turned out longer than I thought, hope there's sense in it :waving:
My friend...I don't know if you deliberately or inadvertently gave example to what any Blood bought child of God would want from a prospective mate:
1-Someone who is completely sold out to God
2-Someone who encourages and supports your gifts and talents
3-Somone who gives you space to grow and who ultimately loves you unconditionally...
...because if that's my understanding of the type of person you described, well the only thing that I would have left to come back and do is to..."ask him to marry me" LOL(smile)!!!
Seriously though, that statement/question of affirmation you opened up with in your original post really says it all!! For me as a women who desires to be in a relationship where we BOTH want to help draw each other nearer to God...well hands down, that's a relationship worth exploring, giving all the opportunities affordable to nourish and take care of by the power of The Holy Spirit! Thank you my friend for letting me imagine how that could be anyway(smile)!! God's peace be with you...
Thank you for writing back sis, and even glad if you were able to find yourself in this whole scenario! However it's not just an example that I pulled in my mind when wondering what to ask or share with you but rather reality taking place on a 'fast' pace which kinda concerns me. Just yesterday I was enjoying having me to myself then in no time someone just happens to step in and take charge like that. I'm hesitant to embrace just incase he too disappears on me when I'm now familiar with all this.
�The only thing that I would have left to come back and do is to ask him to marry me� :nahnah:
Well Sisy...first and foremost, I am truly, truly happy for you(smile)! Happy because you have been given a wonderful opportunity to test and prove, all that The Lord has taught you and bought you thru in your life, thus far!!
You see, I don't see an individual who thinks they may not know how to handle this potential blessing because of it's unexpected timing, but a strong women who loves God and wants, no deserves a chance for happiness! You know, I'll always recommend bringing an individual of interest before The Lord to anyone first without question, but I also desire to trust that your past experiences, whether good or bad, will be a "guide" so to speak, as to what and how you'll make your decisions and choices!
The Holy Spirit, coupled with your gut instincts and intuition, should never lead you astray! But most importantly my friend, try and enjoy this journey! Learn all you can from it, while getting to know this brother better of course(smile)! Take one glorious day at a time and you never know...this may truly be the start of something big(smile)!
@@Side note---I believe you'll know exactly how to respond to his original statement...when the time is right(smile)! That, in faith, I'm counting on:applause:!! Blessings my friend...
