Greetings,
I was praying this week and suddenly something happened... My prayer was answered in being unaswered. I prayed something like this:
"Surely, O Lord, You have prepared a wife for me. It is unconcevable that I should be left alone in this world. With trials and tribulations everywhere, and not to mention this horrible tyrany of celabacy, surely You would not make me face this alone in this life. I need someone to talk to after I come home. I need someone to love, and to be loved by. Someone that I may serve and honor. Someone to help in times of need and distress, someone who can understand me and..."
It was here that I stopped. I could go no futher for I felt to do so would be utter foolishness. Why should I look for fullfilment in this present life of these things whe they are already fullfilled. When I am alone, I am truly not for there with me is Christ. When I come home, I have Christ that I may speak with. It is Christ that I must love, and Him that I must serve. Who could better understand me than the one who created me? I speak of this personal experiance of mine to hopefully get you to look at yourself. Whatever need you have, it is meat in Christ. He alone can fullfill all the longings of your heart. Your mind will only find rest in His Word. Lean upon Him, O you who Love the Lord. Find in Christ, thine all in all. Amen
