That was me to a single friend when she called me on Saturday telling me about a “relationship contract” she drafted for someone she was dating. The person didn’t sign it, but I told her that if she had to go to that great length to see if this person was serious about her, it was NOT the right match.
And minutes after talking to her, God had something to add to our conversation when this post showed up in my Instagram feed:
“The wrong person makes you beg for attention, affection, and commitment. The right person gives you these things because they love you.” – @knoteasilybroken
I immediately sent her a pic of this because I believe this was a message from Him to her: You don’t have to beg anyone for a commitment, My girl. See how intimately God is involved in our lives? He had the perfect message cued in my feed to share with her.
She also told me about three job interviews she had in one day. The first two didn’t feel right, but the last one she was so excited and enthusiastic about, I got goosebumps just listening to her tell the story. She accepted the job offer on the spot, no doubt that it was the one for her.
And this is what dating is like, I explained. You will KNOW without any doubt that this is the person for you. When my husband met me, he got on his knees the second day afterward and said a prayer, “God, thank You for helping me find my wife.” I gave him a book a week later that said, “I know and I know and I know that we were meant to be together. We will be the world’s most perfect couple.” That was almost 19 years ago, and we’re still going STRONG. We ain’t perfect, but we’re damn close! (SMILE)
My dad gave me the name “Oneka” meaning African Princess. So when my African Prince showed up in the Bahamas to meet me, I knew it was a Divine connection. I said even if God had come down from Heaven and said this was not my husband, I would have argued back with God, ‘This is my husband!’ That’s how sure I was about us. When the devil comes around, I just have to say, “GO AWAY! God Himself connected me with my hubby! Ride or die chick all the way!
So, start listening to God in every decision! That excitement, joy, and peace are what we should look for before making ANY decision. Any sign of stress, doubt, or uneasiness about moving forward in a particular direction is God saying, ‘DON’T DO THAT!’ Kk? Listening to God’s intimate and specific direction has guided my life on a very beautiful path. Amen.
