The Lord Provides

The Writings of the New Church teach that those who trust in the Lord are gently led by His stream of providence. "They are all the time carried along toward everything that is happy, whatever may be the appearance of the means; and those are in the stream of Providence who put their trust in the Divine and attribute all things to Him." (Arcana Coelestia 8478)

Whether we are single or married, the Lord is leading us to the greatest potential for good in our lives. We can, of course, swim against this gentle current, but those who trust in the Lord and allow Him to guide them are carried toward heaven and heavenly happiness.

Trust is also essential in marriage, not only trust in our partners, but trust that the Lord will gently lead toward what is good. Couples who approach the Lord with a sincere heart, and rely on the Lord and His teachings as their guide and source of life and love, will be carried within that stream toward all things blessed, happy, and delightful — forever, together as one.
