Sister Maria was beautiful in her own way. Desirable for those who can recognize true beautiful.  It was not the make up or make over thing. She had the desire of getting married early but things didn’t work out for her as she had thought it – the life of a man and it events is in the hands of God, the master planner, the author of our lives. The fact that she had delay made her become envious of young ones getting married, though she was not too old to be married, she felt she should have done hers in time past. The devil having a place in her by the vice of envy, made her become bitter. She became unhappy when she saw young couples and feel bitter toward them. Instead of thanking God for them,  she seemed to despise them finding reasons to complain about how her God neglected her to favour those who were not as beautiful as she was, those who were not as matured as she was or even financially ready as she was. Well, no one can really question God, beside the life of every one is different from one another.
        Bitter Maria remained unmarried for longer time until a visiting pastor saw her zeal in doing the work of God and ministered to her. She was serving God, punctual to church and known by many. If you worship in that church for a month you will definitely know her. She went for counsel  and he prayed for her earnestly because within his short period of visit, he had seen her service to God.   During the course of them prayer Holy Spirit revealed it all.

Pastor
My sister, the Holy Spirit said, the key to your marriage is in your hand. He said you have become bitter in your mind because of what you see as delay, you have allow the bitterness to kill the joy you should have when you see young people get married. The bitterness as also put complains and murmuring in your mouth. All these made the door to remain shut. If you want that which you truly desire you need to let go the bitterness in your mind , stop complaining but give thanks and if you want the joy of marriage, rejoice with those who have. 

Sister Maria 
Hmm! Thank you sir.

The pastor prayed for her and asked the Holy Spirit to help her change. Not long after her change, the Lord answered her with ideal man and she had joy. Don't allow what you are passing through make you bitter towards God and man. It would go a long way to stop your breakthrough.
Shalom!
