It was my sisterʼs wedding day. I had dreamed with her about this moment for so many years. I had walked through her journey to find true love and prayed and cried with her each step of the way. Now, the day weʼd both been waiting for had finally come. It was a perfect day. She was radiantly beautiful, and every detail of her love story had been faithfully scripted by God. With happy tears I helped her into her wedding dress and smiled up to God with thanks for answered prayer. Yet, even as I did so, the enemy attacked, and unwanted thoughts leaped into my mind.
“Why are you standing here helping your younger sister with her wedding dress, while you are still single?” the voice of self-pity began to badger me. “I bet Godʼs completely forgotten you when it comes to love.”
Years ago, Iʼd surrendered this area of my life to God. I had joyfully embraced a life of singleness for as long as He desired it for me. And He had been more than faithful to me each step of the journey. Now, the voice of my “surrendered will” began to take a stand against the tempting voice of self-pity.
“God has not forgotten me!” I shot back with conviction. “Not only do I think He can do this for me in his own perfect time – I am sure He can do even better than anything I have yet dreamed!”
“But look, Mel – youʼre older than your sister!” Self-pityʼs voice was relentless. “And you arenʼt getting younger. Donʼt you think itʼs a bit too late now?” Old fears I had thought were crucified and nailed to the cross were obviously not so dead after all. But I continued to meditate on the faithfulness of my God, and stood my ground.
