Why Hasn't God BroughtMe the Love of My Life?The evening began routinely enough. The team producing myweekend seminar in Cincinnati and I were out to dinner. We discussedlighthearted things as we ordered our meal. It was more amoment to stop and catch our breath than to have life-altering discussions.Little did anyone know what was about to take place.'I never thought I'd be doing what I'm doing now at this pointin my life,' Lillie said, innocently talking about her work.'What do you mean?' I asked.'Well, I always thought I would be married and have childrenby now.'Oh, I thought to myself. That makes sense. A lot of women feelthat in their mid-thirties. I understood what she was saying, untilshe continued.'But God hasn't chosen that for me.'My ears perked up. I wondered what she meant. While I believethat God leads us and guides us in life, I also wondered why sheblamed her situation on God. Both the psychologist and the theologianin me bristled, wondering what responsibility she might beshirking regarding her undesired singleness. I knew her well enoughto know she might have some issues contributing to her single state.'What do you mean, 'God hasn't chosen that?'' I asked.'Well, I believe God brings the man into your life you are tomarry, and he hasn't brought that man to me yet,' she replied. Thatwas enough to get me going, but her next line really did it. 'Or, hehasn't given me the feelings I would need for the men he hasbrought into my life.''God hasn't 'given you the feelings?' What does that mean?''Well, God gives you the feelings for the person he wants youto marry, and that hasn't happened with any of the men I know.''Whose feelings are they---yours or God's?''What do you mean?' she asked, sounding a little bugged.'Well, it just sounds like you blame God for a lot. How do youknow he hasn't brought ten great men into your life, but you havethings inside of you that make you incapable of feeling what youwould need to feel for them? How do you know your issues aren'tgetting in the way of recognizing and falling in love with a good manif he did come along? Why do you just assume this is God's fault?'I felt as though I was on a bit of a mission, defending God's honor.'I disagree. God will bring the right man to me, and until then,I just need to wait.''How is that going?''What do you mean?''Well, how long has it been since you went on a date?'She hesitated, looking embarrassed. I didn't mean to put her onthe spot; in fact, she had been so assertive in stating her case and soaggressive in coming after me when I challenged it that her sheepishnesscaught me off guard.'Two years,' she said.'What?' 'It has been two years since I have been on a date,' she confessed.How could that be, I wondered. She was outgoing and attractive,a real people person of the highest order---traits that usuallymake dating come easily. Then it occurred to me. Her lack of dateshad to be a combination of her sitting back and waiting for the manof her dreams to come and find her and some personal dynamicsinterfering with her desire to be married. I could think of no otherreason someone who actually wanted to have a man in her lifewould be that stuck.Then something changed in me. Up until that point, Lillie andI had been in a friendly debate. Everyone at the table had gottencaught up in the banter. But, when I saw the reality of the situation---an attractive young woman in the prime of her life, yet unhappy---Ifelt for her. I wanted to help. And if I were right, I knew I could. So,I issued a challenge:'I will make you a deal, Lillie. I will be your dating coach. Iguarantee that if you will do whatever I tell you, you will be datingin six months.'She looked at me, stunned. 'What?''Just what I said. I'll be your dating coach, and if you will dowhatever I say, I guarantee you'll be dating in six months. But thereis a catch. I demand total obedience. You have to do everything I tellyou, no questions asked. And I promise I will not ask you to doanything immoral, unethical, or illegal. But you have to do whateverI tell you.'Everyone at the table fell silent. I could see the others wonderingwhether or not they would subject themselves to such a mysterychallenge. And I could see Lillie weighing the same thing. Did shereally want to do such a crazy thing? Agree to conform to a totallyunknown plan, just like that? I could also see that she was ticked atmy challenging her 'way' of thinking about dating. She wanted toaccept the 'bet' and prove me wrong. The latter attitude, I suspect,is what won out.With the others hanging in suspense, she growled at me: 'Fine.You're on.'I didn't really think she'd accept my challenge, but I was ready.I jumped right into it.'Okay, here is your first assignment. For one month I want youto keep a log of all the new men you meet and email it to me at theend of every week. Send me the names so we can count how manynew men come into your life and have a chance to ask you out.''Are you joking?' she said. 'I don't need an assignment for that.I can tell you right now. None.''What do you mean, 'None'?' I asked.'Exactly that. I never meet anyone new. Every day I go to theoffice and see the same six or eight people. Then I go home, eat dinner,and watch TV with my roommate. Then on Saturday, I runerrands and hang out, and on Sunday I go to the same church andsee the same people I always see. That is what happens every week.I never meet any new men to go out with.''I don't care. I still want you to keep a log. And for the men tocount, they have to fulfill three requirements. First, they have to benew men you've never met before. Second, they have to haveenough of an interaction with you to want to ask you out. And,third, they have to have enough information to ask you out, suchas your name or know how to find you. No pressure to have anydates right now. I just want to understand your situation. If thenumber is zero, that's fine. We can work with that. I just need toknow what the picture really looks like.'
