Recently, I let go of someone I care about. I had helped lead her to become a Christian, which I am so thankful for. But as our relationship went on, I started having my own doubts about us. When I sought godly counsel about this, the majority of friends, families, and mentors thought I should let her go. One mentor, whose words particularly stuck out to me, said that she seems to identify herself by who she dates, so she needs to be alone to truly find herself in the Father -- without a guy in the picture. Because of my own doubts and the advice I was being given, I let her go.
It's been very hard. I've missed her tremendously. But yesterday, in reading a book for my church small group (What Now? by Hannah Duggan), I came across the following passage:
I was absolutely shocked and amazed at the timing and relevance of this. I knew it had to be God. This brought me an enormous amount of comfort, and even though I still miss her and worry about her, I know the best thing I can do for her now is to pray for her and trust God with the rest. May God's will be done in both our lives.
It's been very hard. I've missed her tremendously. But yesterday, in reading a book for my church small group (What Now? by Hannah Duggan), I came across the following passage:
"Guys, I know you're waiting, but that girl that He's chosen for you is working through some major insecurity issues right now. She has never been more alone and more in need of someone to remind her that she is beautiful, but right now, that someone is not supposed to be you. Brother, your God has got your back. Because He knows that if He brings you that special girl right now you will become her everything. She will seek all of her worth in you. She will see you as the one who saves her out of her troubles. Then a day will come when you can't save her from that monster of self-hate. When that day comes, she will resent you. God is fashioning a woman that finds her worth in Him. When you meet her, you will be her husband, her partner, and her protector, but God -- and God alone -- will be her Savior."
