I know it’s very late right now, but I had this thought which I thought I should post. The origin of this thought came from a discussion with a friend.
It’s seems like our love life is one hundred percent and totally out of our control. There are some things in our lives which we can control to a certain extent, where we can work hard to achieve a certain goal and eventually accomplish that goal, but it seems like our love life is not one of these things. It’s not like I can act a certain way, say the right things all the time, or follow a strategic plan to get the girl I want, it just doesn’t seem to work that way. Why does it have to be this way? Why is it like this? I asked myself these questions, and the answer that came to me was that: maybe this is the way things are suppose to be. Think of Genesis, and the story of Adam and Eve.
“And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him… …But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him… …and He brought her to the man.” –Genesis 2:18-22
Is it a curse to us that we should have no control over our love life? No, since it’s God who is the one who will “[bring] her to [us].” Although, it surely is frustrating at times. But here’s an observation I made about this idea tonight:
Since our love life is out of our control, we can’t screw up true love–acting the wrong way, not saying the right things all the time, or following an ill developed strategic road map to love, won’t mess up our future relationship with our true lover. That’s awesome!
