Surrendering to God's Will
Testimony★★★★After my wife passed away, I committed to no relationship for a year. But after 3 months, I met someone who was perfect for me. Despite the chemistry and mutual interest, I stuck to my commitment. Just before my year was up, God moved her to another country. It took years to get over it, but through grief therapy, God helped me see that I had been idolizing this woman. After understanding this, I appreciated the experience despite its pain.
