While You're Waiting For The Love Of Your Life, Let God Be Your One True Love

Lord, please, keep making me.

While You're Waiting For The Love Of Your Life, Let God Be Your One True Love
Ally Mishell Smith

Recently, I've been living in a state of loneliness. Not in an "I don't have any friends" lonely, but like an "I want to have someone to walk through life with" lonely. Whenever you're going through something like this people always tell you, "Your future husband will come, just be patient." or "Keep praying, He'll come." While those are true and I fully believe that my God will send my future husband to me, it's hard. It's hard to remain patient when everyone your age is getting engaged or getting married.

Recently, I had the pleasure of getting to go to a Sidewalk Prophets concert. Before the concert, I knew a few songs but not enough to get me super excited about going. I was mainly excited to spend time with my family and just to have a good night with Jesus at the center. One song, however, caught my attention and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The song is called "Keep Making Me" and here are a few of the lyrics.

"Make me broken so I can be healed
Make me empty so I can be filled
'Til You're my one desire
'Til You're my one true love
'Til You're my breath, my everything
Lord, please, keep making me
Make me lonely so I can be Yours"

When I first heard these lyrics, it immediately rocked my world. It was one of those God moments where you hear a song that speaks exactly to what you're going through and instantly calms you down. Ever since I heard the song and I get in a period of loneliness that get so overwhelming its hard to breathe, it reminds me the truth.

The truth that God is my one true love.

The truth that even when I'm broken, I'm being broke to be healed.

The truth that if God stays at the center of my life in every aspect of my life, then He will put everything into place, including my relationships.

"In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch." —Psalm 5:3

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
