For The Future

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord Determines his steps."-Proverbs 16:9

We had it planned out as we saw fit. We thought we knew what God had in store for our future. We were wrong, but we've been given another chance. No matter what plans we make, God will determine our steps and place us in the lives/situations/relationships we should be. He determines where we will be at the end of day.

Don't put boundaries on God!

I don't want to set my heart on a course that I'm not suppose to/will not be going on. I don't want to put my heart strings towards a future that won't happen. If we allow God to work, in our lives, surrendering our all to him, he will make our paths straight, whether or not it is with each other.

Instead, I think, we must love.

Sherlock wrote some VERY amazing stuff on love and so I'll just give in short what I think.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 1When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

My favourite part is that Love "always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always persevers." AND " Love never fails."

How good and awesome is it to be able to trust in a Lord who's love never fails. It will always be there.

I don't need to entertain a future with you or pretend that I know what God has in store. God gives friends, and relationships in good time. Wait for his spectacular time.
