The Mystery of Marriage
Quoting from Mike Mason's book The Mystery of Marriage:
Real love is always fated. It has been arranged before time. It is the most meticulously prepared of coincidences. And fate, of course, is simply a secular term for the will of God, and coincidence for His grace (Mason in Joshua Harris, Boy Meets Girl, pp 219-220).
This passage reminds me of God's blue-print, the master plan that He has in His hands. Much as human beings have disrupted God's master plan; it does not disrupt Him. His plan still proceeds. Truth will still reign. God is still God of the past, present and future. Resting in the knowledge of God's divine plan is the best thing to do. As Elisabeth Elliot phrase it: It’s a relief to know that there is a divine design. And this knowledge is the secret of serenity. I truly trust in His divine plan, as my heart is His, I will watch Him cross two paths at just the right time...
