What If....

They say true love conquers all, but what if….that love was truly never meant to be?

Two people can really love each other, but no matter what they do, there is always going to be those barriers that drive them apart, no matter how hard they try to overcome them.

God has a special plan for us all, but yet our selfish wants try to force something that isn’t part of the plan that God set forth for us to begin with.  It can sometimes be confusing and even sometimes discouraging.  But if we set aside our idea of what we think we want and let God handle it, we will later learn that Gods plan was the right one all along.  God has carefully placed certain things, obstacles and even people in our life that are all a part of the master plan that he has for us.  So maybe the person that you think you should be with is just someone that is helping you prepare the way for that true special someone.

We all think that we know what we want or need in our life, but yet the truth is, we really know nothing.  There is a country song that Garth Brooks sings that pretty much sums it all up in a few words “Unanswered Prayers”.  If God gave us exactly what each person prayed for, then we may have really cheated ourselves of true happiness.  God never promised anyone life would be easy, but he does promise that if you put your faith in him then he will provide us with everything we need.

Have you ever been with someone, even in your younger years and you prayed to God that nothing would ever separate the two of you, but yet here it is 2, 5, 10 years later and now you couldn’t imagine yourself with that person.  Now what if God had answered those prayers???  Where do you think your life would be at this moment?  Maybe we should be still praying to God, but just reword what we really want. For instance, instead of saying “God please keep so-n-so and I together”, maybe you should say “God, please take control of my life, and do what you think is best for me”.  I am certain God will answer your prayers, it may not be tonight or tomorrow, but it WILL happen!!!

I believe that Gods master plan for me is by far better than anything that I can imagine.  I just have to keep my eyes and heart open to hear his voice, to know which path to follow.  God will speak to you, if you listen.

I believe that all relationships require hard work and compromises from both people, but sometimes it doesn’t matter how hard each other works, in the end it still may not be meant to be.  I will not  dwell on the what if’s or could have been’s, I will only accept the will be’s.  Do not blame the other person or yourself for the parting of the relationship, because each person tried to make it work to their personal capabilities, but sometimes it just isn’t ever enough, because it may just be milestone on the way to your master plan.

Don’t give up on your marriage, relationship or love, merely turn it over to God and let him decide what is best for you.  Listen closely and God will lead the way.

If after several years you’re still doubting the decisions you have made in life, is it truly meant to be or is it a figment of your imagination?  Ask God, he will tell you.
