Hi, my name's Jordan, I'm 17.
This is my first time using this site so I apologise in advance if I'm doing something wrong!
I'm here asking for advice, because I feel completely lost as to what God is calling me to do.
So it started in fall last year, I've lived in France for the last 11 years and have never had many true friends because foreigners aren't really liked in my area. I was fed up with always being alone, so I prayed to God asking/begging him to save me from loneliness, I asked him to show me how I can fix my existing relationships and how to create new ones.
Then, a few days later a new girl arrived at my school and I immediately fell for her. I truly believed that God had sent her to save me because everything seemed so perfect: she lives in the same small town as me (which is crazy because the school is miles away), we carpool together everyday, we knew each other when we were little, her Mum works with my disabled brother, we share the same interests and life goals and she seemed interested in me (which has never really happened to me before).
I thought for sure that she was God's answer to my prayer, that God had it all planned out for me and that he wanted me and her to get together.
But then I discovered that she has a boyfriend, I don't know much scripture but I'm almost certain God tells us not to want a taken woman.
So why did God bring me to her? Why did he make me feel this way? Is this just a way for God to teach me how to control my feelings or something like that? I know God works in strange ways sometimes but this just feels like torture.
I know that nobody can tell me why God did this, or what his plan for me is. But can someone please help me understand, or guide me towards what to do, because this situation is destroying me...
