Trusting God to Lead You to Your Spouse

Photo by Dominic Chasse

Here at Becoming the One, we believe the following three truths:

1. The Lord loves you.

2. He’s excited about your future marriage.

3. He wants to lead you to meet the right person.

Those simple statements can raise a whole bunch of questions and leave people very confused!

Do you know you are loved? Do you know your heavenly Father gave His one and only Son so you—you specifically—could be with Him forever? Does your heart, not just your head, understand that His never-ending, steady, always-faithful, always-enduring love is for you?

I love you people
    with a love that will last forever.
I became your friend
    because of my love and kindness. (Jer. 31:3 ICB)

Do you know God cares about your future? The Bible is very clear about His heart for His kids and that He has good plans for us—plans to give us a “future filled with hope” (Jer. 29:11 CEB). You never need to worry that your future doesn’t matter to the Creator. It matters more than you think, and He is excited about you and the person He has for you.

Do you trust God to lead you? Much pain in life comes because we think we know what needs to happen next. “I need to go here. I need to do this thing. I need to accomplish this.” Without realizing it, we can start to rely more on our own thoughts and plans than we do the Lord’s. But He is the only One who holds the holy map of our life, and He knows exactly where we need to go and what we need to do next. When we follow His gentle, loving leading, we will always reach our destination—in this case, marriage to the right person.

This week, spend some time with God listening to His beautiful voice. Write down what He tells you. 

Talk to Him about your future, specifically about your marriage. Ask Him the questions listed here: 

1. “Do I really know I’m loved?”

2. “Do I know in my heart that You care about my future?”

3. “Am I allowing You to lead me?”

Beloved child of God, get ready to see His goodness! He can lead you where you need to go to meet the person He has for you—someone who will love your heart and be compatible with you in beautiful ways.
