Who was my boyfriend at that time and I decided to ask God to confirm our relationship, meaning to make sure it was within His will that him and I be together... To be honest, at the beginning I was like "oh God bless my relationship and if it is not within your will break us apart" and then I'll continue praying for something else. I wasn't even thinking about what I was really asking God! After my boyfriend asked me if I was receiving an answer from God, is when I realized the weight of what he and I were asking God to do! After that I remember having deep conversations with God about that specific subject... But there was one afternoon, as I was walking inside my apartment, I felt God's authority over my life and it was in that moment I asked God, crying, that I just wanted my life to be aligned in His will that it didn't matter if I suffered, cried, or even if later I ask him to change his mind... That whatever He need to do to align my life to be in His will that I was letting Him do it... It was one of the most honest, open heart, pure prayer I have say to God. Moving weeks forward, I received a word from God. A crystal clear answer. God told me, through a guy I don't know at all, that the guy I was in a relationship with is not the right one for me, that He has someone better for me and that God wanted to keep my heart pure... Hearing that made me feel so so sad... I wanted to receive confirmation from God not that word I got... So, we broke up...
I'm not writing this so you can feel sad for me or that you see me like wow she is such a good Christian following His will. No, I'm writing this to let you know that there is a God, He is so alive, He answers prays, He is helping me and I'm sure he is helping my ex through this sad and hard moment, but in the midst of all the mixed emotions I'm feeling, one thing I know for sure that our obedience will bring blessings! I may not see it now but I know God is changing the atmosphere and moving pieces so that our blessing may come! I don't know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future. And my soul rests upon that! I'm letting God be God in every area of my life and I encourage you to do the same! At the end, we are HIS.
prayers about "align my life, Lord" are dangerous! lol. So powerful!

Very well written, you can feel the emotion in your writing. Is there a way to get confirmation before spending 8 months with the "wrong" person?
ReplyDeleteOf course. we just need to trust in the Lord and ask Him.
