*Dear Williams тАН тАУ Episode One*
Williams sat in deep meditation, pondering over the words of his Pastor again and again .
He couldnтАЩt help but replay the sound counsel he had just received.
Over and over, the words echoed in his mind:
_"My dear Williams,тАЭ his Pastor had begun, тАЬI need you to listen to me attentively. Making the choice of a right marital partner requires patience, trust, and absolute transparency before God._
_You must understand that all the battles of destiny you have been fighting thus far are not as important as this._
_If you lose it here, even the victories of the past can not make up for the loss it will bring into your life.тАЭ_
That closing statement hitted him like an RPG blast.
He had immediately sat upright, startled by the weight of those words.
Taking a deep breath, Williams looked into his PastorтАЩs eyes with profound gratitude.
The counsel he had received over the years had truly guided him into making the right decisions.
Two hours later, now seated at his reading table, those same words still rang loudly in his ears.
But something else troubled his heart even more. He had recently met three sisters on campus, and they were beautiful, godly, and intellectually sound.
тАЬMhenтАжтАЭ he muttered to himself, quickly cautioning his thoughts as the Holy Spirit nudged him to be careful - lest his thoughts lead him into trouble.
Now, he found himself confused. Which of the three should he approach?
Yet, deep within, he knew what to do.
And he didnтАЩt hesitate to do it;
He went down on his knees, bowed his head, and began to pray:
_"Dear Lord, I know You can see deep into my heart. And like I always say, there is nothing to hide from YouтАж_
_What am I even hiding? You know all things. You are the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart._
_So I will speak plainly from my heart: Lord, You see these sisters I just met. They are everything I desire in a marital partner - beautiful, intelligent, and godly._
_But You alone can help me discern the right one for me. Please help me._
_Do not answer me according to the desires of my heart, for the heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitfulтАж Ah! very deceitfulтАжтАЭ_
And just as he uttered the word тАЬdeceitful,тАЭ something stirred within him.
A sudden excitement rose in his spirit.
Then, with distinct clarity, which he has become familiar with - he heard:
_тАЬSit down. Pick your pen. Bring out your journal, your Bible, and letтАЩs talk.тАЭ_
To be continued...
