Need The Right One....

The devil's gimmicks can just be very enticing to a single believer. It's just the way he wraps a wrong thing in a nice fancy package.

That moment when you meet someone who is crazy about the kind of music you like. They know the lyrics to all the songs of One Direction and Coldplay and you're like "okay, this might be it. Me liking you already."

Then they start talking about New Edition and how much they love the song 'can you stand the rain'.
Excuse me am crushing on you sweetheart. Thank God I have finally found someone who is set apart from all this shaku shaku generation.

Then you find out they like Taylor swift, and one of their favourite song is 'stay with me' by Sam Smith, and the mother of them all they actually know Earth Wind and Fire talking about 'I can't find a reason' 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️ yè!!! Then they go "do you know the O'jays?" And you are like "are you kidding me?"

My favourite song from the O'jays is 'last night me and my woman cried together'. Oh my God! How about 'you've given me a reason to love' by Maze feat Frankie Beverly?

At this point you know you are completely won over, but because you are a believer you try asking spiritual questions, but this time they are just for formality, you are careful not to spoil the mood by going too spiritual of them, so instead of asking deep things you start asking surface questions like
"What church do you go to?
Who is your pastor? Are you a church worker? You are scared they might say the wrong thing and show you a red flag, something you're not ready to see right now, let's just keep going first, cos if you miss this one you will have to go through a thousand shaku shaku to find another one that knows about Imagine Dragons and 3 Doors Down.

Hurts so much to finally find someone who shares your passion and likes the kind of things you like, only to let them go because they have no evidence of Christ in them, not even in sprinkled deposits. The 'step out of the line' kind of person, that perfect weirdo partner you thought never existed, just as crazy as you.

But deep down, deep down in your heart you know stepping in will be a wrong ship for you. Even when you try to fight it, even when you try to trick your spirit by staying friends, hoping they would change. Even when you try to encourage them to chase God as a friend, and it turns out like you are forcing a horse to the stream, you know you have to let go and keep trusting God for the ONE.

Pals, one of the hardest things to do as a single person is having to say no to all the wrong ones that looks good for you, while trusting God for the right person to come.

They just have to be RIGHT for me, they just have to be, because am not standing on the LEFT
