A Girl Waiting: wait silently
“Waiting silently is the hardest thing of all. I was dying to talk to Jim and about Jim. But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God.”
— Elisabeth Elliot, Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ’s Control
This. This. This. I cannot agree more.
There is NOTHING wrong with NOT TALKING about a man you are drawn to. Mary pondered what God told her in her heart. Jesus drew away, in silence, in private, to commune with His Father about what was on His heart. I am telling, ladies, keep your mouths shut and your hearts bare before the Lord. The world need not know about all your gushy, romantic, senseless affection lavished upon a man who deserves not the effort you put forth. Set your sight upon Christ and He will accomplish His plan. He does not need your sentimental posts to further His already orchestrating song for your life.
Convicted myself.
Heavenly Father…THIS
