La importancia del tiempo de Dios en las relaciones

“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.” Eclesiastés 3:11 (NLT) 

I know that sometimes it’s so hard to believe in the accuracy of God’s el tiempo en las relaciones because, most of the time, it just doesn’t match ours. It’s especially hard to believe in it because you think that your love life suffers. 

Cuando nos enamoramos de alguien, queremos empezar una relación con esa persona enseguida porque nuestro único deseo es estar con ella todo el tiempo. 

The problem is that we are so impatient. We don’t know how to wait. We don’t understand why we should wait. 

I know we believe that God is Almighty and everything happens by God’s will, but still, sometimes it is really hard to believe in God’s perfect timing. 

We rush through life. We don’t have the patience for anything anymore. That word just doesn’t exist in our modern-life vocabulary. 

Unfortunately, that’s exactly why we go through so many painful heartbreaks in our lives. Todo está en el Todopoderoso God’s hand. Our whole lives, our fates… everything. 

No creer en God’s will y God’s perfect timing siempre te llevará a desamor. 

Do you trust in God’s timing in relationships? If it gets hard for you to believe it sometimes, follow these next steps and it will surely help you believe in God’s time again. 

Pon tu esperanza en Dios

“We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone.” Salmo 33:20-22 (NLT)

If you put all your hope in God, you don’t have to worry about anything. You are safe. All of your prayers will be answered and God will fulfill your biggest dreams and wishes – in due time. 

Most people consider hope only a feeling, but it’s not. It’s much bigger than that. It’s much more powerful. 

La esperanza es algo que nos mueve. Esperamos un mañana mejor. Esperamos un futuro mejor y más brillante. Esperamos un amor puro y sincero. 

It’s what makes us alive. It’s what makes us positive and optimistic.

Even when it seems like the world is crashing down around us, like we aren’t strong enough to keep going, our hope keeps us going and in those moments, it pushes us to fight even harder. 

We as Christians place our hope in Jesus Christ – that He loves us and is faithful to shower us with Sus bendiciones.

Believe in God’s plan

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘planes de prosperarte y no de dañarte, planes de darte esperanza y un futuro.‘” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

God has a plan for all of us. You see, we all have our books in heaven. Those are books of our destinies. God has written them before we’re even born. 

You may also think that it’s hard to believe in God’s plan sometimes because we don’t know where it actually takes us, but that’s how faith actually works. You have to believe in unseen and unknown things. 

That’s how God wants to test your heart. To see if your faith is strong enough that you’ll even believe in some unknown and confusing things. 

That’s in fact when you have to prove yourself and your faith – to trust God’s plan no matter how unfathomable it may seem to you. 

The road that God has planned for you may be unclear and difficult, but trust me, the destination will be incredibly beautiful. When you get there, you’ll understand that it was all worth it. 

A veces, lo que Dios ha planeado puede diferir totalmente de lo tuyo, pero aun así, tienes que creer que Sus planes son lo mejor para ti. 

He wouldn’t make you suffer ever. Even if he doesn’t answer your prayers always or his timing is a little slow (according to you), His only purpose is to protect you from heartbreak. 

Si encuentras algún obstáculo en tu camino, considéralo una tentación. Él hizo tu camino difícil sólo porque quiere ver cuán fuerte es realmente tu fe. 

Trusting in God’s plan no matter what will be your shield against evil. Your faith will protect you from heartache and disappointment. 

Ten paciencia

“The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentaciones 3: 25-26 

Don’t be so impatient. Stop focusing only on your love life. There are so many other things and important parts of your life that you can affect, and you should pay attention to those also. 

God knows the perfect time to send the right person in your life and He’ll do it only then. That’s something you can’t affect too much. 

The first time you ask Him for something, He may not answer your prayer. But, don’t give up. He’ll answer it sooner than you think – of course, only if what you asked for is good for you. 

Así que no te queda más remedio que esperar pacientemente. Presta atención a otras cosas en tu vida que son igual o incluso más importantes que tus citas. 

Reza

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24 (NIV) 

Todos los días, todas las noches, REZA. It might take some time, but you’ll get the answer you need. Your prayers will pay off. 

No matter how strange God’s plan for you might seem, always look for something positive in it. Treat every situation as a blessing or make a lesson out of it. 

Be always grateful to God. Don’t forget to thank Him for everything in your prayers. He may close some doors for you, but at the same time, He’ll open some new ones. Be grateful for all of it. 

Tu destino está en tus oraciones. Tu oración es tu salvación. 

Evalúese a sí mismo

If you have doubts about God’s perfect timing, then examine your past and your life. Start from the time you were just a teenager in high school, and take a good look at your life journey. 

How did you choose your partners? Were they always the best choice for you? I’m assuming they weren’t because you would still be with them. 

¿Quiénes eran tus mejores amigos? ¿Siguen formando parte de tu vida? ¿Has traicionado alguna vez a tus amigos o viceversa? 

¿Fuiste siempre fiel a Dios? ¿Creíste siempre firmemente en Su voluntad? ¿Pusiste tu esperanza en Él y confiaste en Su tiempo perfecto, o hiciste las cosas en tu propio tiempo? 

¿Has seguido siempre a tu corazón en lo que se refiere a las relaciones? ¿Has estado siempre agradecido a Dios, pase lo que pase? 

Take some time and do this self-evaluation. It will help you with finding the reason why God’s timing in your love life is a little bit slow for you. 

Maybe you aren’t ready for dating yet. Maybe you’re still holding onto some emotional baggage from your past. 

Otra razón podría ser que tu pareja no te conviene y God doesn’t want you to suffer. Perhaps that relationship you’re praying for would only lead you to heartache. 

I’m sure there is a good reason that God’s timing is taking so long. God always has a reason for everything. 

It’s up to you to evaluate your life and relationships, and find out that reason. The only thing I know for sure is that He’s always trying to protect you. 

Reconsidere su relación

Okay, you’ve done the self-evaluation, now it’s time to do the same with your relationship. Examine it. You have to ask yourself some questions that will reveal if your partner really is the right guy for you. 

Piensa en la primera vez que conociste a tu pareja (o interés amoroso). Qué pensaste de ellos la primera vez que los viste? 

¿Recuerdas tu primera cita? ¿Cómo fue? ¿Se enamoró inmediatamente de ellos tras esa única cita? 

What are your partner’s goals for the future? Are those similar to yours? Do they mention you when they talk about their future? Do you actually see them in your future? 

¿Cómo trata tu pareja a tu familia? ¿Trata a las personas cercanas con respeto? ¿Quieren salir con ellos o siempre tienes que obligarles a salir contigo y tus amigos? 

Todas estas preguntas pueden ayudarte a saber si tu relación es auténtica o no. 

Antes de empezar a rezar a Dios para que te ayude en tu relación, debes tener en cuenta algunas cosas. En primer lugar, debes estar seguro de que tu pareja te quiere tanto como tú a ella. 

Entonces, asegúrate de que quieres estar con esa persona para siempre. Si realmente es tu alma gemela, Dios hará que vuestros caminos se crucen. 

You know that both partners should put in the same effort to make the relationship work. If you’re the only one who’s putting in the effort, then you are in a one-sided relationship. 

If you’re sure that you have found your soulmate then you have to wait a little and trust God’s timing. I’m sure He’ll answer your prayers and bless that relationship sooner than you think. 

Accept God’s timing – It’s never wrong

Always believe in God’s perfect timing. Even in the times you most doubt it, you have to accept it and place your hope in Him. 

Not knowing the exact timing may be frustrating, but it’s how God wants to teach us to trust Him. 

When you learn to accept God’s timing, you’ll start living in hope. You won’t bother about when something is going to happen because you know that God is already working on that. 

If you have faith in Him, you know that He’ll make your prayers happen, and it won’t be important when it does happen because there is no need to rush – you have your whole life ahead of you. 

Accepting God’s perfect timing will bring peace into your life. You won’t bother about timing and it’ll allow you to focus on some other things that you can actually influence.  

Reflexiones posteriores

“This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.” Habacuc 2:3 (LBLA) 

This bible verse explains it all. Sometimes, you may think that God’s timing in relationships is a little bit slow, but the important thing is that will come – because it always does. 

Trust God. He knows what’s best for us. He knows it better than we do. Put all your hope in Him and reza por Sus bendiciones cada día. 

Sometimes we aren’t aware that the other person doesn’t love us in the same way and we pray to God for the wrong person. Don’t worry.

God knows it and that may be the only reason He won’t answer your prayers about that love. 

Él ya ha escrito tu historia de amor y He’ll send you true love at the momento oportuno. You just have to trust in God’s perfect timing and wait for it.

You’ll be so thankful to Him because that person will be more than you have ever even imagined. 

Be honest with yourself. You’re probably praying for your relationship because you love your partner, but do they feel the same about you?

Is your love really enough to make your relationship work? It might just not be – or ever be. 

And when God answers your prayers, that doesn’t mean you should stop praying. It means that you are quitting. 

A person who is sure that they’ve found the right person would never give up on that relationship. 

Until then, you don’t have to rush anywhere. Enjoy your singleness. You may miss that part of your life one day. 

Sé que Dios responderá a tus oraciones. Sólo tienes que confiar God’s will y ejercitar la paciencia. Mayo Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu amor.
