It's Jesus

Planned for me

Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses.
He sets the time for birth and the time of death, the time for planting and the time for pulling up, the time for killing and the time for healing, the time for tearing down and the time for building. He sets the time for sorrow and the time for joy, the time for mourning and the time for dancing, the time for making love and the time for not making love, the time for kissing and the time for not kissing. He sets the time for finding and the time for losing, the time for saving and the time for throwing away, the time for tearing and the time for mending, the time for silence and the time for talk. He sets the time for love and the time for hate, the time for war and the time for peace.
-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (Good News Translation)

Clear as crystal. That is. God planned everything from even before. 💓 And always trust on His timing. Sometimes we may feel impatient for some things we want to have. No offense. Let me take this as an example:

Having a Girlfriend/Boyfriend. We all know that we're really into that thing. We sometimes feel the urge to feel that feeling of having an immediate relationship with someone. Well, it's not bad to have one as long as you still live with your purpose. Like being an obedient child to your parents, and following God. But, I always believe that beautiful things happen when God says it's time. That's true. 😊 When you ask me if I ever had one before, honestly, from the deepest of my heart, I DON'T HAVE YET ANY. There are actually some guys who tried to court me and tried to enter into my life, but I quickly cut it off. Like a rope. I am not being mean, though. I did it because I know, it'll just give me some sort of temptations. For example, you're studying and then your boyfriend/girlfriend texted you, you'll find yourself texting all the time without knowing that you almost forgot to study. The catch? You'll fail the exam, you'll get grounded. I mean, it's just too early for us guys to have a relationship with someone. You can't safely say that you'll just balance school and "love life". But guys, in this stage, the enemy will have its best to hit us so hard. When emotions get into us like creeping in the deepest parts of our veins, everything will follow. Our Pastor always reminds us Youth that we should really preserve our lives. Remain pure and untouched. There's nothing in the world to satisfy your future husband than give yourself to him pure, and clean. He always says that. And it seems, it's God who is saying on his behalf. For me? I wanted to focus first on school, my family, career (talking about my dreams in the future), and on top of all, God and my ministry for Him. 🙏 I want to serve Him while He will send someone to me. My father always saying that I have to finish my study first, get a job before that relationship thingy could enter to my life. I know obeying my parents also honoring and obeying God at the same time. It's in the bible. Ephesians 6:1. I deeply know if I'll not rush over things that I want especially with having the boyfriend, or if you're a boy, girlfriend, I'm pretty sure that someone I am dreaming is beyond I expected. I am always claiming that.

So whatever will come, whoever I'll meet in the near future, wherever I'll spend my lifetime, well I always want to live in London, or it could be in OKC, it's all up to God. He knows when, where, or who is perfect for me.

So what's your plan? If you felt the conviction within you. That's not me, that's God. Okay listen, God wants only the best for you, if you found having a relationship with someone too hard, have a break. Don't let yourself be frustrated with that. If you really want that guy/gal then if both of you are really for each other, wherever you two will wander, time will tell and you'll always find each other someday together again. GOD WANTS YOU TO ENJOY YOUR YOUTH AS LITTLE CHILDREN TO HAVE TIME TO LAUGH, TRAVEL, AND PLAY. Because the time you'll have that real and sure relationship with someone, everything will be different, but I'm pretty sure we'll still enjoy it with our future partners. Enjoy your youth and live life to the fullest. Trust His timing. In these current times, only God could satisfy us. Always pray for self-control too because even we want it or not, word stuff could tempt us too quickly. Let us always pray for it. I'm pretty sure we can be someday a successful as what we ever dreamed of when we have God by our side.

Prayer:
Lord, thanks for that great reminder. I know you only want the best for me. Give me the wisdom how to deal with my emotions and my whole life. I want to follow you, for following you will lead me to success and triumph. I know you have great plans for me. Help me to focus on You, to my school, my family, and my purpose. Thank you for everything you'll be doing. Help me to trust in your timing, because time will tell. I pin my faith in you alone. In Jesus name Amen. 💓
