Her Faith Was the Light That Guided Me
We met on justsinglechristians.com, a place that for me was a last hope. After years of loneliness and disappointments, I began to understand that a true relationship is more than just feelings. I needed someone who not only loves but also believes — someone who would be with me through good times and bad.
Anna came into my life like a quiet light that slowly but surely began to dispel the darkness of doubt. Her letters were full of calm and faith that did not require words, but simply was present, alive, and authentic.
After a few weeks of exchanging messages, we arranged to meet. I chose to go for a picnic in a nearby park. I wanted it to be natural, without rush or pressure. I brought a blanket, a basket with simple food, and some books, including favorite Psalms Anna had written about in her messages.
When she arrived, her smile lit up the whole park. She wore a simple dress, and in her eyes, I felt warmth and sincerity I hadn’t seen in a long time. We started talking about ordinary things, but soon it became clear we shared something deeper.
- You know, Ken, - she said as we spread the blanket, - faith is like a compass for me. Without it, it’s easy to get lost.
I nodded. I felt this was exactly what I was looking for.
As the sun gently warmed our faces, we talked about daily struggles and joys, about moments when I felt I could rise from falls only thanks to prayer. Anna shared her experiences, and I listened with growing admiration.
-Sometimes I think God leads us to people who become guides for us. - I confessed quietly.
She looked at me and smiled gently.
- Yes, and we should learn to walk together, supporting each other on this path.
Her words made me feel special. It wasn’t just an ordinary conversation — it was a prayer without words that connected our hearts.
After a moment of silence, I reached into the basket and took out the Bible I always carry with me. I opened it to a Psalm that had helped me so much in moments of doubt and read a passage aloud. Anna listened carefully, and when I finished, she looked at me with such tenderness that I felt the world had stopped just for that moment.
- I wish we could often share moments like this. - she said.
Our conversation continued, and with it, our bond grew stronger. I realized she was not only the partner I had found but also a spiritual guide with whom I could walk through life without fear.
While birds sang in the background and a gentle breeze swayed the leaves of the trees, I felt hope and peace growing inside me. Anna was like the light that guided me through uncertainty and loneliness, reminding me that true love is not only emotions but also daily choices and shared prayer.
When it was time to say goodbye, I looked into her eyes and said:
- Thank you for being here. I feel that together we can do more than alone.
She smiled softly and replied:
- With God, everything is possible.
That picnic was the beginning of our journey. A journey that won’t always be easy, but I know that with Anna by my side and faith in my heart, every step makes sense. Because her faith was the light that guided me — not only to her but also to a better version of myself.
And though we hadn’t yet said the word “love,” our hearts spoke it quietly, in prayer and in mindfulness of each other. It was more than words — it was a true closeness that grew stronger every day.
