saved from my selfish desires. 

From Our Daily Bread:

"Now God is not out to ruin us. But He will destroy what could ruin us. So when it seems as if God isn't cooperating with your agenda, consider the possibility that He's trying to save your from YOURSELF. Sometimes He mercifully frustrates our best-laid plans for our own good."  

Thank You, Lord for always reminding me of my values and Your standard. I totally understand everything and I accept wholeheartedly all your decisions for my life because I know You only want what is best for  me and for that I am definitely more thankful. Thank You! ♥

"No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening - it's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way." Hebrews 12:11

and from sheenalovessunsets:

If I could leave all you beautiful girls with only one piece of (love) advice, it would be this; to let Him write your love story. Let Him write it without you manipulating the situation, without you hanging on to a past love, without you refusing and disobeying. When He says let go, let go. When He says wait, just wait. I know letting go is hard (especially for all you romantics, like me!) and I know waiting is even harder (especially for all you impatient girls, like me too!) but I promise you, truly, if God asks you to wait, He will make sure the wait will be worth it.  

Trust me, you want a man who’s fighting battles not only for you but also for God. You want someone on the right side… on God’s side. Because we know when the King of Kings is on our side, who can ever be against us? :) (Romans 8:31)
