Relationship

by Catherine
(Washington)

After a relationship ended, and a few rough patches, the gentleman I had dated and I have reconnected in a basic friendship way. I have felt throughout the relationship that God is leading me toward this man through scriptures brought to my attention and what I believe is the Holy Spirit guiding me. This man had, when we were dating, felt God lead him toward me as well. However, since the end of the relationship (which ended because of satan's attacks) this gentleman does not think we would ever 'work out.' I am fearful of revealing what I believe the Lord has revieled to me as it may push him away. At this time I am working hard to allow him to connect with me rather than me persuing him. While this friendship of sorts has allowed us to open up to eachother without the fears of rejection or expectations, I worry that the friendship role will not progress and I will be hurt significantly. It seems odd that God would reveal to me a purpose for us, rather than the male. I am not sure how many barriers he has erected because of what he thinks will 'not work' as related to him listening to God or his fears. I continue to actively pray, which God has definitely led me to do, but my doubts remain. I also do not know what role I am to take on in this incidence.
