waiting...

What would you describe as faithfulness?  Is it a commitment to your significant other?  It is never straying away from your beliefs?  When should you practice faithfulness?  Yesterday? Now? Tomorrow?  How about all the time?  Having faithfulness for something or someone is extremely hard and can be trying at times.  But, what about in relationships?  What about BEFORE relationships?  Eric Ludy explains that we should not only be faithful to our spouse but we need to be faithful to them BEFORE we ever even meet them.  For those of you who are a little confused, it is what us single people waiting for our true love call waiting.  I KNOW!! We need to wait! I'm sure you're thinking, "I've waited long enough! I want it now!!"  My question for you is, don't you want to wait and be given the best God-centered relationship of your life?  When has anything been good for us if we have not had to wait for it?  I am totally on the boat with you, though.  I understand.  I have cried myself to sleep at night because I really want that relationship and love that every engaged or married couple always talks about.  Honestly, it's getting a little frustrating.  However, I have made that commitment for my future husband on learning to wait for the perfect man that God has set aside, just for me.  This is waht faithfulness is all about.  We need to be faithful to our future spouses by being patient and allowing God to work through us and through him or her in order to get to where we need to be for each other.  How do you think you will learn faithfulness with your spouse if you do not already know how to do it before you meet them?  Start practicing now!
