I thank God for the gift of life, the gift of salvation, and the grace He has given me to walk in His ways. Since I became born again in November 2020, I made a deliberate decision not to date casually, but to wait for the right man God has destined for me. I have been single since then, and though at first I wasn’t sure about marriage, I have, over time, started believing God for it. Since last year, I’ve been intentionally praying about marriage, trusting Him for His perfect will in my life.
This morning I woke up to a bad call that really disoriented my day. I felt weak, unmotivated, and even had to leave work early. When I got home, I couldn’t even bring myself to pray. I was simply sad and drained. Eventually, I took a nap and it was in that sleep that I had a dream.
In the dream, I was pregnant, but not married. I was keeping the baby, but I knew very well that I had messed up. In reality, I am a minister at my church. I teach teenagers, and one of the core values of our ministry is holiness inside and out. As a child of God, I know I have no business engaging in sex outside marriage.
In the dream, I was painfully aware of this truth. I knew such a situation would bring reproach not only to me but to God’s kingdom.
When I woke up, the weight of the dream hit me hard. I broke down in tears and cried out: “Holy Spirit, please help me. Do not let me embarrass You. Do not let me bring shame to Your kingdom. Everyone knows I am born again, and I do not want to misrepresent Your name. Please help me live to glorify You, not to dishonor You. I long for marriage, and I long for children, but let it all come in Your perfect order, at the right time, and within the covenant of marriage.”
That was my honest prayer. The dream reminded me how deeply I desire to walk uprightly before God, and how much I long to bring Him glory in every area of my life, including marriage and family. I don’t want to do anything that would cause embarrassment to the kingdom of God.
So, even in your waiting, hold onto him. The world offers attractive alternatives but the end of it all is destruction.
