Who has been guilty of laying in your bed late at night and decided to stalk really cute couples on Instagram and then gets really depressed? Then you begin to think, "What am I doing wrong?"
I can say I am very guilty as this has become a nightly thing. In today's society, there are no more "cute diner dates" where you share a milkshake and then go dancing. Today, there is a lot of "relationships" that aren't really real relationships. Loyalty is hard to find, and it also seems hard to find a decent guy out there (sorry guys).
I know that going into college I expected to go in my first day of class and instantly find "the one" and fall in love quickly and then live happily ever after. Wrong. Although I am only a freshman in college and the semester has just started, it is easy for me to get discouraged because it seems that every guy I meet has something wrong with them. Whether it's them being a cheater or just extremely creepy. I have had nights where I just mope around and think, "I'll never be good enough for someone."
But then I remember this verse: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths" Proverbs 3:5-6.
This verse is very comforting to me by knowing that God will provide someone that is super perfect for me, and if that verse isn't enough to reassure you, try this one: "For where your treasure is, there your heart may be also." I know that this verse relates more to what we will have in Heaven; however, here on Earth, the same rule applies. God wouldn't put us with a guy that we didn't like.
I know I've worried thinking, "What if God pairs me up with a loser?" This is such a terrible thought, but I'm a worrier. However, this is silly for me to worry about because I know that God is going to bless me with such an amazing man that truly loves me with all of his heart! God will even provide a man like that for you. One that treats you like a princess and always makes you feel like you deserve the world. He will not break your trust, he will be loyal to you, and he will be such a great father (if you decide to have children).
Patience for this is extremely hard, but just know a lot of girls struggle with the worry of never finding someone, as well. God has designed someone specifically for us and only us so why should we be depressed? Even if you're really into this guy that just seems perfect, but then he breaks your heart by doing something completely stupid, just know that God has someone even better than that to call your soulmate! God's timing is perfect, so do not be depressed about being single or it just not working out with other guys.
I know that one day I will become a bride in the perfect gown walking down the aisle to the perfect man (hopefully he cries) and then all of the heartache and sadness will be gone and it will be irrelevant because I will finally be able to say, "I have found the one whom my soul loves" Song of Solomon 3:4. I absolutely cannot wait for this day and I know that it will all be worth it in the end. Therefore, whoever you are, do not be sad because God honestly has our best intentions at heart, and you can find a multitude of verses to back that up. You will find your "Mr. Right," and he will be worth the wait.
