Love in God’s Time
Megan flipped another page in her planner, but her thoughts wandered far away—toward the hope that she would finally find someone who shared her values and faith. She had long been active in church life, praying for genuine closeness and a deep, spiritual connection. When she heard about a dating site for Christians, she was initially skeptical, but decided to give it a try. “Maybe this is God’s will,” she thought as she logged in.
Andrew, on the other hand, had long been searching for a partner with whom he could share both daily joys and faith. Attending Mass and services brought him peace and a sense of community, but he lacked someone with whom he could share reflections and Bible discussions. When he came across Megan’s profile, he felt drawn to her—her honesty, her smile in the photo, and her passion for living a life of faith.
Their first conversations on the site were cautious but curious. They exchanged favorite Bible passages, quoted Psalms, and shared reflections on recent sermons. Megan wrote about how much she valued the quiet of prayer, while Andrew described how he tried daily to notice God’s guidance in small events. Each message felt like a small gift, slowly building trust that wasn’t just in words, but rooted in shared faith.
After a few weeks of exchanging messages, they decided to meet in person—in a natural, safe place for them: at Sunday Mass. Megan felt a slight flutter in her heart as she saw Andrew sitting across the pew. He, in turn, smiled shyly at her, feeling relieved that they were finally meeting face to face.
The Mass passed in reflective silence, yet both felt something beginning to bloom between them. After the service, they went for coffee at a small café near the church. There, the conversation flowed naturally—about values, favorite Bible passages, and how God guided their lives. Megan shared her favorite Psalm, 37: “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture,” while Andrew admitted he often returned to Philippians 4:13: “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Their words, though simple, carried profound meaning.
Over time, their meetings became more frequent. They attended services together, participated in Bible study groups, and joined community prayers. Each step they took was full of mutual support and patience. Even small differences in perspective became opportunities to grow and better understand one another.
One day, after praying together in a quiet church, Andrew looked at Megan and said,
- I feel like God has been leading me to you from the very beginning. Your faith, patience, and heart make me want to build a future with you.
Megan felt warmth in her heart and smiled, replying:
- I also believe that God’s will brought us together. Sometimes we have to wait, but patience is worth every moment.
Today, Megan and Andrew are together, sharing a life filled with love, faith, and mutual support. Their story shows that true relationships form when patience, prayer, and shared faith meet at the right time. The site where they met became the start of their spiritual and emotional journey, and each shared service and coffee conversation strengthened their bond. Love in God’s time—as they both learned, sometimes you have to wait to find a true partner to walk through life hand in hand, heart to heart, guided by God.
