Word of Hope for Today with Bro. Rolly Custodio
RUSHING A DECISION IN RELATIONSHIP (Part-1)
‘… not to awaken love until the time is right’ Song of Songs 2:7 NLT
Today’s Insight
You’ve loved, you’ve lost, you’ve considered becoming a nun or a monk (for two seconds) and bang! – you’re in love again! But are you really? If you’re head over heels before you’ve even deleted the ‘you’re dumped’ text, chances are you’ve found the perfect rebound relationship. Know what? Rebounds are often a dangerous way to prolong a hurting situation and involve another unsuspecting victim. The person you’ve got your eye on now could be more of an elastoplast than a soul mate.
Jumping into your next relationship too quickly is sure to spell trouble. A toddler doesn’t go from crawling to driving overnight, nor should you go from heartbreak to wedded bliss overnight. Sure it’s nice to feel ‘wanted’ again, but at what cost? Repeating the same mistakes as last time? Using another person’s emotions to flatter your own ego? Using intimacy to feel desirable? You shouldn’t rush your own feelings nor try to force God’s hand.
Solomon writes, ‘Promise me not to awaken love until the time is right.’ Don’t be in such a hurry to take the edge off your pain that you run ahead of God. It takes time for Him to make you into the person He wants you to become. While He’s working on you, He’s preparing the heart of the right partner to show up at the right time.
So what now? Do you need to do something about a situation that’s out of hand or you will follow your heart again and don’t use your mind? I believe that God put the head above our heart in order to be wise in making decisions especially when it comes to relationship. Ask God for wisdom.
Parallel Verses: Matt 6:5-15, Matt 26:36-46, James 5:13-18, 1 Thes 5:16-18
