The closer I walk with God, the more sensitive I become to his prompting. I've learnt to become less stubborn and listen more.
Recently, a well-meaning tried match-matching me with her bf's friend. I wasn't all that interested but I wasn't adverse to it either. It doesn't hurt to go out a couple of times to see how things might turn out.
Well, after 2 dates, I started feeling rather uneasy. During a quiet time, God gave me a verse.
"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?"
(2 Corinthians 6:14)
I don't consider myself extremely staunch or religious. But as this verse kept appearing in my mind over and over again, it has to be a sign.
Maybe it just isn't time for me yet. It is just as well.... I just have too much things on my plate at this time. If I had the time, I wanna spend more time with my loved ones. Especially when a very close friend has been in and out of hospital lately...
No one knows what tomorrow may bring... I would rather live for the present moment so I won't have future regrets. When the time is ripe, things will just naturally occur.
Afterall, there's a time and season for everything.
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
