Have you ever said the following: "If I just knew _____ Then it wouldn't be so bad, I would be alright."? Yeah, I think everyone at one point in their singleness has said this. I've filled in the blank with just about everything: how much longer, who it was, what he looks like, etc. The only thing is that as I reflect, would it really be better? Would my life really feel more complete if I knew any, all, or part of the things I've requested. Probably not. If I find out who it is, all that would happen is that I would waste my life away waiting for them, or moaning the fact that we know each other, but he isn't ready for a relationship. Or if I Knew how much longer, I would just feel crazy waiting for the final tick of the clock to bring him to me, or if I knew what he looks like, it would be a perpetual game of wear's Waldo, trying to find him every where that I go. Yeah, none of these seem like a better alternative.
Nope, it's definitely better this way. Yep God has the right idea, it's better to be in torment of not knowing, than the lost life that results from knowing. Not to mention, mystery and romance go hand in hand, so if you ever expect that in life, don't expect to know the future. And then there is the fact that it just makes you trust God, which always strengthens that relationship. And when you have a strong relationship with God it makes every other relationship better.
So yep, I'm glad I'm a fortune telling flop, it makes life more simple.
