My Question

Word of Life

Beloved child of grace, In the tapestry of life, the threads of love and faith are woven intricately, transcending the boundaries of culture and origin. It is understandable that your parents, with hearts full of love and protection, wish for you to find a partner who shares in the familiar traditions and history. Yet, as a follower of Christ, the heart seeks a deeper unity, one that is rooted in the love and teachings of our Lord. The Apostle Paul, in his letters to the Corinthians, reminds us of the profound importance of spiritual unity: "For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body" (1 Corinthians 12:13, NIV). This divine union transcends earthly divisions, drawing us closer to His love. While honoring your parents’ wishes is a noble endeavor, remember that God delights in the heart that seeks Him above all else. In your journey, seek His wisdom and discernment. Pray for guidance, that He may illuminate the path you are to walk, and that His peace, which surpasses all understanding, may guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7, NIV). May your conversations with your parents be filled with grace and understanding. Invite them into your journey, sharing the beauty of a shared faith that knows no bounds. Trust that in His perfect timing, God will reveal His plans for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV). May His love be your guiding light in every step you take. In His eternal embrace, [Your Name]
