A Story That Will Stay With You…
Her name was Ada.
A soft-spoken, brilliant young woman with a heart completely sold out to God.
Everyone who knew her said the same thing:
“She is destined for greatness.”
Ada served God faithfully.
She led prayers on campus.
She encouraged others to wait on the Lord.
But her test came quietly… wrapped in a smile she couldn’t resist.
His name was Daniel.
Handsome, confident, always carrying a Bible.
He prayed loudly in fellowship.
He quoted Scriptures impressively.
He looked like everything Ada thought a godly man should be.
She felt something strong for him… and she assumed it must be God.
She didn’t pray.
She didn’t wait.
She didn’t ask.
Her emotions drowned the gentle warnings in her spirit.
“God cannot be against something this beautiful,” she told herself.
The first cracks appeared after the wedding.
Small, almost invisible.
He stopped joining family devotion.
He complained about her church activities.
He said she was “too spiritual.”
But Ada kept hoping marriage would change him.
Then came the real storm.
Daniel started coming home late.
He stopped praying completely.
He mocked her for fasting.
He began to cheat, boldly and without apology.
One night, when she confronted him respectfully, he shouted,
“Did I ever tell you I wanted a prayerful wife? If you don’t like this marriage, get out!”
Ada froze.
Her tears fell silently.
Her heart broke loudly.
But the worst pain wasn’t his words.
It was the realization that God had warned her, gently, quietly, repeatedly…
And she ignored Him.
She remembered the dream where she saw herself crying.
She remembered the scripture that kept coming:
“Be still.”
She remembered the lack of peace she pushed aside.
She remembered the elder who told her, “My dear, wait.”
But she didn’t wait.
She didn’t listen.
She followed her heart… and lost her future.
Now Ada wakes up beside a man who is physically present but emotionally distant.
She attends church alone.
She hides her bruises behind smiles.
She cries on her pillow every night.
And the words that haunt her the most are the ones she whispered to a friend:
“If I had known God’s will, I would never be here.”
Dear reader, pause and think.
How many Adas are suffering today because they rushed into love without asking God?
