A Heart That Listens to God
I never thought I would create an account on a dating site. I believed true relationships should begin naturally—at work, at church, or among friends. But one evening, while praying for patience and guidance, I felt in my heart that it was worth trying. I signed up for justsinglechristians.com, hoping that if it was God’s will, I would meet someone special there.
A few days later, I came across her profile. Victoria. Even her name caught my attention. Her description wasn’t long, but it was honest—she wrote about her love for volunteering and how she believed that love is best expressed through serving others. It sounded exactly like what I had been searching for. I sent her a message, and when she replied, the conversation flowed easily, naturally.
We began sharing our favorite Bible verses, our dreams, and the things that brought us the most joy. I discovered that both of us felt most fulfilled when we could help others. So when Victoria suggested that we meet for the first time while volunteering at a soup kitchen, I immediately agreed. It seemed like the perfect place—not a café or a movie theater, but somewhere God’s love was lived out in action.
On the day of the meeting, I arrived a little early. I saw bowls of hot soup being served, children smiling as they received bread and tea. There was more meaning in that simple scene than in many grand speeches. And then I saw her. Victoria—dressed simply, her hair tied back, with a smile that lit up the whole room.
We greeted each other shyly, then quickly got to work. I handed out meals, while she spoke with those in need, offering them comfort and encouragement. I watched how tenderly she looked at each person, as if every single one of them mattered deeply. It was more than kindness—it was a testimony of her heart, a heart that truly listens to God.
After a few hours, we took a short break with cups of coffee in hand. We talked about how important it is to live faith actively—that it shouldn’t end on Sunday after service but should show itself in daily deeds. Victoria told me how volunteering had become not just a duty, but also a joy and a way of life.
- When I serve others, I feel closer to God. - she said.
I listened, knowing her words came from the depths of her heart. And my own heart beat faster, because I realized I was sitting next to a woman who could become part of my life.
When the day’s work ended, we stepped outside together. The air was crisp, twilight settling over the sky. We walked quietly for a while, until I found the courage to say:
- Victoria, you know you’re an answer to my prayers? I don’t know yet where this will lead, but what I saw today felt like a sign from God.
She smiled and replied:
- I prayed for this too—for someone with whom I can not only talk about faith, but live it every day.
That evening, I went home with a heart full of gratitude. I knew I hadn’t met Victoria by accident. She was a gift—the fruit of courage to trust God and take a step into the unknown.
Today, as we serve together in different ministries, I see even more clearly that love grows through action. Our story reminds me that it’s worth waiting and listening to God’s guidance—because when His time comes, hearts that are ready will always find each other.
