I would just like to share this e-mail i received from an officemate, about growing with someone, love is in the air na ulit kasi, well at least for me it is… ;D
Growing with someone
Keep this in mind. This is for all: the recently married, the ones who have
been married, the soon get married, and the ones who are still
looking…………
Years ago, I asked God to give me a, spouse…………, ”You don’t own
because you didn’t ask” God said. Not only I asked for a spouse but also
explained what kind of spouse I wanted. I want a nice, tender, forgiving,
passionate, honest, peacef,ul, generous, understanding, pleasant, wa,rm,
intelligent, humorous, attentive, compassionate and truthful. I even
mentioned the physical characteristics I dreamt about. As time went by I
added the required list of my wanted spouse.
One night, in my prayer, God talked to my heart: ”My servant, I cannot give
you what you want? I asked God why? God said ”Because I am God and I am
fair.
God is the truth and all I do are true and right”
I asked ”God, I don’t understand why I cannot have what I ask from you?
“God answered, ”I will explain. It is not fair and right for Me to fulfill
your demand because I cannot give something that is not your own self.
It is not fair to give someone who is full of love to you if sometimes you
are still hostile, or to give you someone generous but sometimes you can be
cruel; or someone forgiving, however, you still hide revenge; someone
understanding, however, you are very insensitive….
“He then said to me: ”It is better for Me to give you someone who I know
could grow to have all qualities you are searching rather than to make
you waste your time to find someone who already have the qualities you
want.”
Your spouse would be bone from your bone and flesh from your flesh and you
will see yourself in her and both of you will be one. Marriage is like a
school. It is a life-long an education. It is where you and your partner
make adjustment and aim not merely to please each other, but to be better
human beings and to make a solid teamwork. I do not give you a perfect
partner, because you are not perfect either. I give you a partner with whom
you would grow together.
