"All the good Christian guys are already taken or will never notice me"
How it sounds in your head: You watch couples at youth group hold hands and wonder what's wrong with you. The boys you like never see you that way. You're invisible to the ones you want and visible to the ones you don't.
"You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you."
-- Isaiah 62:4-5Enemy assignment to make you settle or give up before God's best arrives
Every cute guy at church is either dating someone or interested in your friend. You've been the 'nice girl' who gets friend-zoned while watching less committed girls get asked out.
Before Abraham's servant finished PRAYING for a sign, Rebekah appeared - the exact answer walking toward him. She went from watering camels to wearing bracelets of gold in minutes, engaged to a man she'd never met who would cherish her.
I REFUSE the lie that all the good ones are taken. IT IS WRITTEN that I am called Hephzibah - God's DELIGHT. The BARAK blessing of Abraham is mine through Christ - the same blessing that brought Rebekah gold before she even knew Isaac's name. My Father rejoices over me as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, and He is preparing someone with that same heart. IT IS WRITTEN that I shall no longer be called Forsaken. I am SEEN, DELIGHTED IN, and worth crossing deserts for. The right one isn't taken - he's being PREPARED.
Your Father is running toward you with the RING of His delight already on His finger, ready to place it on yours. He's not waiting for you to be prettier or skinnier or holier - He's preparing a love story that will make you weep at His goodness, and the boy is the BONUS, not the point.
