There is this person, I feel strangely attracted too. I knew this person for over five years, he is a Christian and he is my friend. The weird thing is I always saw something beautiful inside this person. I feel weird because I do not know if God wants this for me or what. I cannot love or desire to love someone God does not really approve. How can you tell who really put those thought in my head.
Hi Yolanda,
That is an interesting question. I can tell you only of myself. I first wrote to my wife as we were both in a pen pal club. She in high school and I in the Navy. But the first time that I went to see her, I knew as soon as I laid eyes on her that I was in love with her. That was over 51 years ago. and five children. We married after she graduated from high school.
Now as I read you post, there is a little story which came back to me, that I think that I should post here just for you.
There was a flood in one area, and as the water rose, the man climbed to the second floor of his house. As the water was reaching him, there came a boat by which was picking up people. But he would not get in the boat, telling the people that God was going to save him. The boat left, and the water kept on rising, so the man climbed out on the roof. Then another boat came by and the man again refused to get in the boat saying that the Lord God was going to save him. That boat left, and the waters kept on rising, so the man climbed up on top of the chimney, and the water was up to his waist. then along came a helicopter that tried to pick him up. But again he refused saying that the Lord was going to save him. The helicopter left and the water rose so high that he drowned. And when he stood before God, he said, God, I thought you were going to save me! To which God said " I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more do you want???"
I guess my question is, how many men does the Lord have to put in your path before you will accept one?? Will you keep on turning them down saying that the Lord will send one to you???
St_Joel gave you a good answer and a good question.
Now the ball is in your hands, what are you going to do with it?? Does that man have any idea that you might care for him?? Or will you wait until he gives up on you and goes off and marries another? Only you can answer these questions. It is your decision, and whatever you decide, you will have to live with it for the rest of your life. But that is true of virtually every decision that we make in life.
If you love him, go after him. If you do not love him, set him free. It sounds to me that from what you have written that he has some feelings for you.
