Relationships are mind consuming. Every girl has dreams of being swept off their feet by Prince Charming and being taken away to a magical castle. Alright, maybe not every girl, but I definitely did. Then you get thrown into the real world and you suddenly realize that it's not so clear who "Prince Charming" really is. Suddenly you are introduced to a world of frogs and told that you have to kiss them all and hope that one magically transforms before your eyes. Luckily, that's not how God works. Some of us have kissed frogs, blinded by our own eagerness to find the love we desire, and others have stood on the side lines out of fear. Each girl a little different but all with the same dream built up in our heads.
We can continue to kiss frogs... but, unfortunately, it will only lead to ending up with a frog. Taking a dream that we have built up over time and handing it to God can be very difficult. But remember the promises He has made. He never fails us. So considering He is all-knowing, powerful, and holy, what makes you think He can't handle finding someone for you to marry?
Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
Having Him by our side should be a weight lifted off your shoulders. He wants what is best for us and He will never leave you disappointed. He can see the bigger picture of our lives and we can't see it. So while you see frogs, He can see your Prince Charming and He is helping him grow and become the man that you need. He's also preparing you for that day. He's refining you and perfecting each detail, like a work of art, and wants to present you as the beautiful Princess that He has created you to be. As hard as it may be, surrender your dreams of Prince Charming to our wonderful Creator and you will never be disappointed. The best news yet, I can guarantee He will never require you to kiss any frogs!
