When Love Feels Delayed

We don’t like waiting. Singles hate waiting for the right person; couples hate waiting for a change in their partner. But love, real love, always passes through seasons of delay.

Abraham waited for Isaac. Hannah waited for Samuel. Joseph waited for freedom. Yet in the waiting, God was forming something deeper than desire—He was forming trust.

Singles, don’t rush the waiting season. God is not punishing you; He’s preparing you. Waiting is not wasted when it builds wisdom.

Couples, be patient with the process. You may not see change today, but growth often happens quietly, beneath the surface. Keep watering your relationship with prayer and kindness, even when you don’t see instant fruit.

Love that endures waiting becomes stronger. It stops being about timelines and becomes about trust.

In God’s hands, delay is not denial—it’s development.
