These Years

Three years ago, on May 20, 2020, I returned to God. After my return, I realized I was deeply wounded, and God began to reshape my life. Consequently, in 2021, I embraced singleness again and started relying entirely on God to navigate life. Throughout these years, whether in joy, anger, or sorrow, I poured out my heart to God. He responded to my prayers through the brothers and sisters around me, gradually making me feel the love of God so real. I realized that the love I had been searching for so long came from God; He is the source of that love. If it weren't for God rescuing me from the darkness, I wouldn't have believed in the beauty of God's love. Initially, God wanted me to entrust my emotions and marriage to Him. I firmly believed He had prepared someone for me. So, I waited, waited for the person He had prepared for me. I waited for two whole years. During this waiting period, God was preparing and equipping me, healing my inner self, and granting me a brand-new life.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 KJV

He Finally Appeared After Two Years

On September 1, he walked into God's house, HOC, introduced by a passionate brother. From that day on, various people told me, "I see him, I think of you." Before we got together, seven different people told me this, and the most unexpected one was my older sister. She mentioned that two years ago, when she heard me say God would arrange a man who loves God for me, WeiJing's name popped into her mind. However, she didn't say it out loud because she felt we had no connection and it seemed impossible for us to know each other. When she found out he was at HOC, she became excited and confidently said, "It's him!"

In the early mornings of September, the Holy Spirit miraculously woke me up and inspired me to pray about relationship matters even before dawn. In these prayers, He revealed many things about him to me, including that he would be my life partner. Therefore, throughout our communication, we surprisingly found delightful harmony. Not only did we have common interests in many aspects, but this also greatly promoted our deep understanding of each other. To our amazement, our core values were so remarkably similar.

The Holy Spirit Reveals About October 10th

Three days ago, on October 7, while I was driving alone, suddenly I heard that we would be together on October 10. At that time, I didn't think it was very likely, considering we had only known each other for a month. But I thought, regardless of whether it was true or not, I would write it down as a record. I typed it into my Google Keep while driving to serve as proof.

On October 10th

I didn't dwell on this matter too much; I believed that if it was God's will, it would happen. Around 7 PM, WeiJing suddenly mentioned that if we were to be together, we would need six months to get to know each other, or we could wait for three more months until December 25th, Christmas, which is also a good day. At that moment, I already had an answer in my heart. I thought the Holy Spirit said it would be today, but I just smiled it off. At 8 PM, we both went to our respective Bible classes. After class, he pointed at the date on his phone, saying today was a special day, and it happened to be 10:01 PM on October 10th. My heart skipped a beat, but I remained calm. At this critical moment, he said God had given him this revelation and asked, "Today is a special day; will you be with me?" I showed him my note from three days earlier, where the Holy Spirit had already told me we would be together on this day.

God, Who Precisely Answers Prayers

After we met, I recalled that two years ago, I had prayed to God and detailed my expectations for a future partner, listing 40 criteria. When I read these criteria next to him, I felt excited because I discovered that these 40 items perfectly matched WeiJing. This experience made me feel that God had truly answered my prayers, even though I had doubted multiple times if such a person existed (perhaps I was being too greedy 🤣). In these two years, I had considered giving up, thinking that such a person might not exist, or perhaps my list of 40 criteria was too demanding. But God's response to my prayers was beyond what I asked or imagined. He even exceeded my expectations in some details, such as height. I had asked for 178 cm, and he was 187 cm tall. Broad shoulders, thick eyebrows, love for sports, and white teeth 😬—every criterion matched perfectly. Most importantly, he loves God. As Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. When the time was right, God truly fulfilled His promises according to His words.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33 NKJV

Moving Towards Marriage

On the journey of seeking God's kingdom, God imparted to me the concept of sacred marriage. When we discussed marriage, we found our beliefs aligned. Marriage is not an endpoint but a starting point. Love is not merely an emotion; it's a choice, just as Christ chose to love us when we were still sinners. On our sixth day together, God confirmed December 25th, this beautiful day, through people around us and signs.
