Jehovah-Jireh

I arrived home to find myself lonely. I could talk to my sisters, mother, or girl friends as much as I desired, but that was not what my heart longed for that night. I wanted the company of three specific males.

I went to talk to God in the desire to quench my loneliness as I have learned to do. I told Him about what I was feeling, how I wanted to be around these three guys. His response was what surprised me. After I poured out my heart to the Lord, He asked me "Why?"
"I don't know, Lord."
"Ask Me then. Ask me why you want to be with them."
"Lord, why do I so desire the company of these three guys."
"Each guy represents a relationship with guys that I designed you to have. The first man represents your father relationship. The second represents your brother relationship. The third represents the husband you desire, and your marriage. Each of these relationships I have designed you to need and desire."
"Okay, so what now?"
"Trust Me. Seek Me."

I can't say that I was completely satisfied. I was still lonely. However, I was reminded of God's faithfulness. He will provide what I need. I have already seen those relationships strengthen since this night. I know that as long as I remain in the will of God, He is sufficient to provide.

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." --Philippians 4:19
