I was just playing my game of 2048 earlier tonight when a friend of mine texted me asking for me to pray for him, as he is going through one of the hardest situations he has ever been in. After praying and exchanging a few texts I felt a pull from God to tell him that he needs to surrender it all to Him. I sent him:
"She doesn't ignore it; that's not what karli does. She's overwhelmed right now and i think it's because of trey. It's a lot to take, and honestly, I'm not going to let her go out with trey. I don't want to jeopardize me and her friendship but she's told me things and I'm not going to let her do that. I'm not saying I'll force her to like you cuz that's not right but I'll do everything I can to keep her away from trey. Not for you, but for her. But Brandon, if you really like her, then you are going to have a hell of a time getting over her. And I don't think you'll be able to do it. I know you love her. It's not a choice, it's a must. It's a blessing and a burden. It just is. You love her. And if she takes a long time to realize how much you mean to her, then she might have to take time. But I believe that all you can do right now is to trust God. I'm trying to explain this, and I'm praying for the words. I'm going to try. Life is only so long, and god has a certain and specific plan for YOU. God, the marker of the world and you, has a plan. There are obstacles along the way, and maybe they are from satan, but God will not allow you to go through something you cannot handle. He may give you the hardest situation in your life, but it's only because you can get through it. There comes a time when God has to prune you. Just like a tree is pruned (cut back) it grows to be so much stronger. No matter what the outcome is, just know that God will use it. If karli chooses trey, just think about it and bear with me, then you will know that God has saved you from the wrong girl, which is one less heart break to find the one He has for you. If she chooses you then you two get to find out what plans God has for you two. Both might end up bad, or good, but the real thing is that no matter what, your going to be okay, it might hurt, or it might be amazing, but God is working through you and through others to get you to who you are to become. Does that make sense at all?"
He then said he feels a lot better, thanked me, and went to sleep. Even though I was never in that situation, I feel as if God was speaking to me as well, telling me that things in my life may not work out the way I hope they would, but he has a path and a plan for me. Through everything, God is the one that I can talk to about everything, and he is the only one that may understand everything I'm going through and everything I feel. Jesus is like a friend. Someone I can be totally myself around: well it's not like I have a choice, but if I did, I would choose to be me. The Holy Spirit speaks to each of us in different ways. We may not actually hear a voice, but we may feel something from God, or maybe even experience something.
Psalms 37:4 says, "Delight yourself also in The Lord, and he shall give you the desires of your heart."
Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares The Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future."
We live not for others, ourselves, or this world. We live for Jesus.
