Behold, You delight in truth in the inward being, and You
teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
– Psalm 51:6
This conversation takes place a few years ago. The setting? The briefing room.
Sitting in this quiet side room after a 2 hour prayer set, my friend and I began to discuss an issue that had been plaguing my thought life. Leaning back, my face slowly began to contort in frustrated thought as my friend creatively doodled on the dry-erase board.
“Sarah… what’s wrong with him liking you?”
“Nothing’s wrong with him liking me.”
“So why don’t you give him a chance?”
“Um. No.”
“Why not?”
“He’s younger than me by a year. He’s still in school. He doesn’t have a car...
He’s just… not right for me.”
“But you said it yourself. He’s saying all the right things. He’s doing all the right things. He’s the kind of guy you’ve been hoping for.”
“Yeah. But he’s
younger than me. I’m more mature than
him.”
“Wooow. You’re
being pretty critical right now… and those aren’t necessarily good reasons. All that stuff is something he can grow in.”
“I just… don’t LIKE HIM LIKE THAT, OKAY?”
“Aaaaahhh!!! NOW we’re getting somewhere!”
