The Love God Sends Will Never Compete With Your Peace
Finding peace starts with surrendering our worries to the universe and trusting that God’s guidance will meet us in the middle of our uncertainty. Best-selling author of Finding God Every Day, Rebecca Simon, reminds us to trust God’s timing, embrace patience, and lean on His presence through every season of life.
One day, love will find you again, but it will not look like the love that came before it. It will not arrive in your life with the intention of completing you—it will arrive with the intention of complementing what God has already completed within you. It will meet you in your peace, not your longing. It will recognize the life you have built on your own, and it will want to be a constructive part of it. It will be gentle. It will be intuitive. It will be clear. It will remind you that love was never supposed to be anchored to an almost—it was always meant to be about alignment.
Until then, keep choosing yourself.
The truth is…when you learn to be alone, you stop accepting almosts
When you learn how to be alone, when you learn how to depend on your own heart, your own faith, you stop entertaining the human beings in your life who only show up halfway. You stop romanticizing potential. You stop settling for the kind of love that makes you feel like you are always waiting to be chosen, waiting to be known. You stop confusing effort with consistency, you stop conflating attention with care.
You stop giving your light and your energy to connections that feel malnourished, that leave your spirit hungry. You start holding yourself to a higher standard—not out of pride, but out of peace. You trust yourself because you have built a life that feels full on its own, whole on its own, and you have come to truly believe that anything less than mutual, anything less than honest, anything less than grounded love will only ever take away from what God is building within you.
