I am currently in a serious dating relationship, and my boyfriend and I are fairly confident that, Lord willing, we will be engaged by the end of next semester. Although we have had occasional periods of frustration, miscommunication, and anxiety, I cannot imagine living the rest of my life without him. There will be seasons of conflict in our relationship, and there will certainly be sorrows, such as the loss of parents, jobs, and health, that we will endure together. Yet God has clearly guided our relationship, and I know that as long as we pursue Him and continue to work as a team, we will be able to successfully navigate the hard times we will face. I am simply excited to enjoy both the good seasons and the hard seasons with him. I realized today that that mentality is exactly how I should approach my relationship with God. It is often difficult to relate to God in this way, because although He is our companion through life’s trials, He is also the one who allows them to occur. Nevertheless, I want to be able to say, as Job did, that I have a relationship with Him that is so intimate that I am completely satisfied just to be with Him and to know Him, even if the world around me falls
