Aderinola Makinde is a beautiful lady with a beautiful heart and she is loved by everyone everywhere she goes. She is the only child of her parents and her parents have an amazing marriage. She admires their marriage so well and she has always hoped that she will get married to someone who would make their marriage be as great as that of her parents.
The Makindes love their daughter so much and she is their only biological child so they have poured out all of their love to her (as can be seen from the dialogue from last week). Although they are very loving, they are also very disciplined and they ensured that they did their best in bringing up their daughter correctly. They have never troubled her about bringing a man home but Aderinola seems to have set a target for herself and because she has not been able to meet up with this marital or relationship target, she is losing her mind and about to give up.
She expressed missing a marital target to her dad and he was not happy to hear that. He reminded her of the fact that it is God who knows who and what is best for her and that it is not necessary to set a target for marriage or beat herself up when things do not go the way she wants. He further told her that himself and her mum always pray for every area of her life and although her marital life is part of that they are not in a hurry and would never put pressure on her. "At the end of the day, we are more concerned about who you get married to than when you get married" said her dad. Her parents love her, they are praying for her and are not putting any undue pressure on her.
This is just to encourage someone who is giving up or about to give up. Maybe like Aderinola you have set a marital target for yourself and the man or woman does not seem to be co-operating or coming forth. Please and please do not beat yourself up about this. The fact that it has not happened is for a reason but don't put yourself under undue pressure. The right man or woman will come for you so please stay calm and trust God. Man may fail but God never fails. Take your desires to Him and he will grant them in His own way, at His own time and in accordance with His will. If your parents are part of the pressure or the cause of the marital target, please get a mentor or if you already have one, seek advice from them. Don't get depressed over what might be a blessing to you.
It is better to get it right late than to get it wrong early
