Powerful promise from HIM

The news from my girlfriend bout breaking-up with her boyfriend whom she dated for 3 years has struck me recently....

3 months ago, she told me they were planning to get married after completion of university. When she told me about how she and her boyfriend gone through a very serious consideration and lots prayers before starting the relationship, I was so convinced that they were meant to be together for the rest of their lifes. And now what has happened on them were totally unexpected by any of their friends, including myself. She said to me that it is a lesson of "submission" that she's learning right now.

I can imagine how she's experiencing right now, as I also went through such experience a couple years ago.....it's very tough, always full of frustration, confusion, disappointment, hopelessness and darkness in the mind. When can I see the light again? I do not know....

But I know I can depend on Him. As long as I have faith in Him, I know He has His plans and He will prepare the best for me. This faith is not illusion, rather it is as real as a solid. I tell you this based on my experience.

To my friend, I give her the following:

What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later....Now that we are saved, we eagerly look forward to this freedom. For if you already have something, you don't need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don't have yet, we must wait patiently and confidently. Romans 8:18-25
