What?? Only 27? That's late already.
Did I hear you say that? Lol. You're definitely right speaking of society and the time that I set for myself, so it's fine. Lol.
| Whose Timing? |
Society would definitely say it's getting late once you're approaching a certain age. Even my teenage self is probably screaming that as well.
I wouldn't blame her. She had dreams. She had really wholesome desires. I mean, nothing wrong with desiring to be married at 23. That was actually my timing. A time I set for myself.
Nothing wrong with that if it aligns with ABBA's will for you.
Walk with Me, I can be trusted
In my walk with God, I've come to realize that my life's journey is mapped on His palms, and I'm only late when I'm behind His timing and intentions for me. I figured out He planned my life in seasons and that every season is unique and beautiful.
Here's the gist, I've come to realize that age isn't the yardstick when it comes to marital timing . So you could be getting married late at 24 if God intended for you to be married at 21 for instance. God is the one with your life's clock. He is the one that gets to say if you're late or not.
Now, don't be late on Love!
May we embrace quickly that our life's journey is a unique path. May we learn to relent comparing our pace in life with others.
May we walk our one-of-a-kind path hand in hand with the One who authored it. The One who knows the best route. The One who is Alpha Omega. The One we can trust.
The One who sees us, EL ROI.
Now, don't be late on love, reminiscing failed attempts, failed relationships or swimming in self doubt, uncertainties, anxieties or worries.
We sure can be late on Love when we fail to know what God is saying about our maritals at the moment. We can also be late on Love(GOD) if we do not embrace love when God is saying it is time!
A.k.a. When you're not open to receiving love. A.k.a You think you're open but then you aren't so ready mentally, psychologically, emotionally, financially, spiritually, etc.
I am definitely not saying we would be 100% ready in all of these areas before God brings or sends us love. We should however be in a space where we are intentional about our wholeness, because God is the greatest investor and He sure wouldn't give His son or daughter to someone who isn't ready for the weight of His glory upon their life.
[I think we should have a part two of this.😊]
"God is never late on anyone. On the contrary, the bitter pill is we are the ones who go late on God when we fail to align with WHAT HE IS SAYING NOW."
Getting married early isn't about the number, it is about His timing.
Hey dear one, it's beautiful if you desire to get married at a certain age. In as much as it isn't out of God's intention for you, why not!?
Instructions:
#1. Go to the Word
#2. Take time to ask God about His intentions for your marriage. Ask Him when He desires for you to get married. God is that detailed about our lives. He can't be more detailed about an ark (Gen 6:24-16) than He is about His children.
NB: Please do not have a way or manner in which you expect Him to answer, otherwise you'd receive an answer according to the idol in your heart.
See Ezekiel 14:3-6
“Therefore speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols,
Ezekiel 14:4 NKJV
Shalom.
