When God Writes Your Love Story

I have been transformed by this book I have been reading: "When God Writes Your Love Story" by a couple named Eric and Leslie Ludy. The book gives an honest account of what the world perceives as love and what love should actually be. They remind both men and women alike that God wants more then anything, to write your love story and that everything is truly in his hands. The problem is that society doesn't want to wait, we want now and when we quickly become anxious. Society tells us its okay to just "go for it" and if it makes you happy then "try it out." But all these actions have dangerous consequences which we may only realize when it is too late. I have been praying to seek our God's will, for him to remove my anxiousness, my need to know things ahead of time and to just find peace in where I am at life. I am at an amazing school, surrounded by amazing friends who love me and want only the best. I may not have a boyfriend or a fiancee or husband to share my life with but I do know that my man is walking around, somewhere on this world and that one day God will cause our paths to meet and write one phenomenal love story.


Here is one more excerpt from the book: 
"Women can all too often become manipulative, flirtatious and self focused when relating to men. They can play games with a man's heart. They use their priceless pearl of purity for temporary pleasure. While it may be hard for godly women to believe that a Christlike knight exists, it's often equally difficult for a man of integrity to trust God for a princess of purity. To experience a God-written love story, our standards cannot be determined by our culture. Our standards should be radically higher than the rest of the world. Not that we are going to be perfect or have a perfect relationship, but we should be aiming our arrow at the right target- applying the very nature and character of Jesus Christ in our attitude toward the opposite sex. Many Christians simply don't feel this is a possibility. Their standards sink dangerously low. God's heart must break when He knows the beautiful things He had planned that we often miss because of our foolishness."
