Timing Part 1

It is often stated that "timing is everything."

I used to think timing was bogus. If you were going to love someone, then love them. God made you to love them, so why can't you love them right now?
It is our wise Father, however, who controls not just who we love, but when  our love can be fulfilled.
I think many teenagers get confused about it. If you are told not to date when you are younger, or not to talk to the other sex, then you may grow up thinking you can never do that. Then, when we finally find ourselves in our twenties, we don't know what to do with ourselves. Or, we think that our liking someone when we were a teenager was somehow wrong. We are hardwired to care for someone special, it's the timing that is the issue.

It is a glorious thing to have even our timing ordered by the hand of the Creator.
"Do not stir up nor awaken love till it pleases."--The Song of Songs
