When your “Akala ko siya na” becomes your “Buti na lang hindi siya.”

How many of you have been in a long term relationship wherein you’ve planned your future together; how many kids you want, building your ideal house, preparing for your wedding, and just waiting for that day to come. Then suddenly, something comes up and you need to give up your relationship. Dahil may isa nang hindi masaya, may isa na hindi na lumaban at tuluyang sinuko ang pangarap na binuo niyong dalawa.

There were sleepless nights that the only thing you want to do is cry at paulit-ulit mong sinasabi na “akala ko siya na.” But you know, as the days go by you will understand why God let that happen. He will reveal to you kung bakit Niya kinailangan alisin sa buhay mo ang taong yun. At ang sasabihin mo na lang sa sarili mo ay “buti na lang hindi sya.” God loves you and He wants to give you a man na higit pa sa inaasahan mo. A man who is after His own heart. All you need to do is trust and wait. Because your beautiful love story is written by God. A God-centered relationship and a relationship that honors Him.

So if you are reading this I want to encourage you with this verse: “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13:7 ESV)

God will give you a man who will lead you to Him. A man who will pursue you. And a man who will endure all things with you. 😊
