[Faith-talk] Worries of the VI/Blind finding mates....

[Ldfelix2 at aol.com]

Hello All: 
 
I hope this is not too bold to post, but it has been on my mind lately, and  
I see how it is negatively affecting people, including myself.
 
I want to encourage both men and women who are VI/Blind and are  single, but 
wish to have a life-long mate.  I realize that there are  concerns that the 
sighted woman would want the "good-looking guy" with the fancy  car (not my 
priority), or whatever it is that interests women of these  days.  Likewise, that 
sighted men would want a "good-looking woman" with  whatever it is men think 
is ideal these days.  But know this...those things  don't matter.  There are 
people out there who look at the heart of a person  and consider that more 
important than all the world has to  offer.  Be encouraged, and I speak to myself 
as well for other reasons,  that if God wants you to have a mate, he will 
provide you with one.  I must  keep believing this myself.  I strongly believe that 
if a person has the  desire to be married, that God, in His timing, will 
provide that need,  regardless of your circumstances.  If you fall into this 
subject of which I  speak, begin, if you haven't already, preparing yourself for 
your future  mate.  Get yourself right with God, because that is most  
important.  The closer to God you become, His desires will become your  desires and you 
will be better prepared for that mate.  Now, does that mean  that we have to 
be perfect for God to provide us with someone to live the rest  of our lives 
with?  Absolutely not!  But we must not give striving for  what is good and 
right.  God could very well provide your mate in the midst  of chaos in your 
life.  But don't let that stop you from getting to know  God more, learning to 
love Him more, and doing what is right.  He could  provide someone for you at any 
place in your walk.
 
Be encouraged, for God loves you and "works for the good of those who love  
Him".
