My Long Journey Might Be Your Short One
Some people are blessed to meet their first love and eventually marry them. Others, however, may journey through seasons and engaged to what feels like “all the Sons of the Prophet” before finally meeting the one God ordained for them. While this path may seem confusing or even frustrating, it highlights an important truth: our journeys are not the same.
As believers, it's crucial to understand that God writes unique stories for each of us. What works for one person may not be your path and that’s not a sign of failure like it is generally believed. The goal is not uniformity but right standing with God.
Never compare your life with someone else’s. The Bible reminds us in Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
Our journeys are different. One person may find his spouse early; another may walk through multiple seasons before true alignment comes and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean you’re flawed or unworthy. Again, I emphasize: be rightly positioned with God.
Psalm 37:23-24 affirms this:
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.”
So, just because Brother Jude married the first person he proposed to doesn’t mean your story must follow that script. Be sensitive to God’s voice. Even if the person seems right, never stop seeking God’s confirmation—right up to the day you say, “I do.” God keeps speaking, and you must keep listening.
Remember this: God’s timing is perfect, and His plans are precise. Trust Him, walk in obedience, and allow your story to unfold according to His will—not societal expectations.
My long journey might just be your short one.
