Baby, You Can Drive My Car
How do people walk hand-in-hand if they aren't going to the same places? Amos 3:3 tells us the truth: they can’t.
If you and your best friend pile into a car together, it would be a normal thing to agree on a destination. What happens if your friend is planning to travel to a place you don't wanna go? Well, you just don't get in the car.
Do you know your life's destination? Your dream? Your purpose? You may need to answer this question before romantic love enters your life with Christ. Don't get into the “car” with someone who is not going where you are, including other believers.
What is a good indicator of where God plans to send you in your life? Here is what I experienced. In my younger years I knew deep down that I had a purpose from Heaven for my life. It seemed that I’d get general clues as to what it was, but it wasn't until God revealed it by shining a bright light on it that everything came together for me. I saw it vividly, and the entirety of life now made sense to me. The truth was, I had already been walking in degrees of my purpose, but once God spoke to it, my focus was sharpened. God took my love and experience for music and theatrics and embedded it into His redemptive work of healing my broken experiences with romantic love and the truth I was learning from His word about it. This was why I existed at such a time as this.
Now that I understood God had made my life a message of His truth about our romantic desires, I continued to walk in my purpose, but this time with a wife in mind. Several opportunities came before me to pursue women in the romantic realm. As I observed them, I was learning none of them were moving me to the same place I was going. This made it clear that I would not get in the car with them simply because we were not headed to the same destination. Knowing my purpose for my time on earth helped to narrow my discernment about whom God was planning for me to walk with.
As these years went by, developing my presentations of the message He was making me become, I seemed to hit a wall in my destination. What was happening? I began to understand that I had gone as far as I could in my purpose by myself. God knew then that it was time for me to see who was going to the same destination I was. It was then, when I had done all I could do on my own, that He sent the lady that made me better and more dangerous to God’s enemies than ever. Of course, that was my sweet girl, Kim. We got into the car on November 17th, 2017, and we have gone farther together and reached more people today than we ever did alone.
If you want God’s choice, He has them in the same schooling as you. It is not for you to go find them. Proverbs 18:22 says, “…he who finds a wife, finds a good thing…” The Hebrew word is maw-tsaw’ meaning “comes forth,” “appears,” “to be handed over,” and “discovers.” Adam, Issac, and Boaz were men busy about their purposes when they “discovered” the one God had been lining up for them.
Pay close attention to your dreams and purposes in Christ. It will help you discover who could be getting in the car with you.
