God sends people our way, but sometimes we reject them.
I just want to paint a different perspective with this post. I'm guilty of doing this too so don't come with your pitchforks at me 🤣 How many times have you heard someone complimenting a person and then listing one single physical "flaw" that a person might have, which ends with them rejecting said person? I will list some examples:
- She was... (lists 10 positive things about her) BUT I didn't like her natural hair color, blonde for example.
- He was... (lists 10 positive things about him) BUT he was "only" 5'8.
- She was... (lists 10 positive things about her) BUT her voice was too "manly".
- He was... (lists 10 positive things about him) BUT he was balding.
Did we forget that God created those people this way? I purposely listed physical characteristics that can't really be changed and not something like skinny or fat. This might have been people worth pursuing, worth fighting for. We keep praying every day to God to send a good partner our way but God looks at us and says "I've already sent 3 of my beloved sons(or daughters) your way this year, yet your rejected all of them"
We often seem to be looking for someone perfect, someone who checks all the boxes, but you aren't perfect yourself, nobody is. So why are you looking for somebody who is perfect?
