"I'm too old now; the good women are all taken or damaged."
How it sounds in your head: All the quality women married in their twenties. What's left are either damaged goods or there's a reason no one wanted them. I missed the window and now I'm shopping the clearance rack.
"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust."
-- Joel 2:25World's scarcity mindset that assigns value based on age and relationship history.
The dating pool at 35 feels like slim pickings compared to college. Every woman you meet has baggage, past relationships, sometimes kids. The enemy whispers you're settling for leftovers instead of a feast.
Moses was 40 years old, a murderer on the run hiding in the desert, when God brought him Zipporah. He was a fugitive with a criminal record, yet received a wife and family in his supposed 'wasted' years.
I REFUSE the lie that I'm too old and the good women are gone. IT IS WRITTEN that God restores the years the locust has eaten. There is no scarcity in the Kingdom—the Father has abundance, not leftovers. IT IS WRITTEN in Ephesians 3:20 that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all I ask or think. Moses met his wife at 40 as a fugitive. Isaac was 40. The BARAK blessing doesn't expire with age. I declare the Father has someone SPECIFIC prepared for me, and His timing is perfect. The best is ahead, not behind.
The Father isn't handing you leftovers—He's been preparing someone specific while you've been growing. He's running toward you with a love story that will make the wait make sense, proving His timing is perfect.
