Yes...
God does know us and what is best for us.
We just sometime think that we know better than God about that.

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou comest out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a profit onto the nations.

He so loved us he sent us his only begotten son . Jesus Christ to teach us
How to return to him. Only we must exercise our free will to make the right choices.
Remember this :
No one or thing has power over us, unless we give it freely. Keep praying earnestly and faithfully and listen to your Spirit and then you will hear clearly the answer to your question.

Good post.

All I know for SURE is... if the Lord Jesus had given me the man I thought I had to have... I would have been very unhappy. I loved this guy a lot! It is weird because this man loved me and wanted me but it never worked out. The Lord stopped it because it makes no sense otherwise. To this day the guy claims to still love me... but he was not what the Lord wanted for my life... and I am so glad I followed Him... and not my heart. The Lord knows what is best for me... I believe that because the Lord said so. It is easy to say now that 25 years has past but... I can give this advise... the minute I gave the matter over to the Lord and told him to have his will in my life concerning this matter... the hurt and longing for him stopped. I am married now with 3 wonderful boys and I never looked back.

I guess I understand what you are saying. But , the guy I'm with is not showing me great love; and he is Christian. I am trying to be a good girlfriend; and do the things he says it takes to be a wife; but he's not always so nice to me. I still am friends with the guy I love; it just feels so right with him. It's hard to to remember that we are not in a relationship. I feel so at ease when I talk to him. I don't understand God's plan at times.

Kia,

Remember... you are a GIRLFRIEND.. not a wife. If it doesn't FEEL like love... or maybe better said.. if it doesn't Feel like he is doing, giving, being, loving to you.. then he ISN'T. I don't CARE if he is a Christian or not. Unfortunately, being a Christian or calling yourself one, doesn't make you a great partner. The Lord Jesus wants you to be happy, loved and cared about. There are Christian men out there that CAN and WILL love you the way the Lord wants them to.

One last thought... only listen to the Lord Jesus and what HE says takes to be a good wife. If you are uncertain, then ask a Christian friend.. pastor or someone here. Not all "Christian" men are created equal... sad but true. Rule of thumb... if actions from your boyfriend do not seem or feel loving.. then trust your God giving instincts... they AREN'T.

Kia,
I must agree with classyT
