It's okay to wait for the right kind of pursuit.
Trust me, I get it. Sometimes pursuit of any kind feels like an opportunity that could be missed, if not grabbed.
I'm in that season now, so I fully understand. I've had friends tell me to "just go for it", to "relax", and to "trust myself", in less than God-honouring relationship opportunities
and I have often doubted myself.
In the midst of all that, however, I have had a strong sense of rootedness, a need to stay the course, a need to take God at His word. I have had a hunger for a love that looks just like His for me, and its been so hard to settle for any thing short of that.
Maybe its just the season i'm in, but it feels like such wondrous Grace that the Love of God lately, feels so memorable to me, almost as if i can trace the outline of it like a pencil on paper because I have spent such beautiful hours immersed in it.
His love has been so easy to find, His love has been too good to be true. And for all those reasons and more, I feel the need to wait for the right kind of pursuit, for the one that looks just like His.
