Love
He Waited and Waited…Find Out What Happened in This God-Centered Love Story!
Written by T.M. Gaouette | November 1, 2014
Ladies, our culture is so lost in immediate gratification. We want what we want and we want it now, no matter how it may negatively affect our future. This is often the case when it comes to relationships. We rush into them because we want to feel loved and worthy. Oftentimes, we rush into them because we just don’t want to feel left out.
But we all know that rushing into a relationship for the sake of being in one often leads to a breakup. And we all know the famous saying “All good things come to those who wait,” right? Well, ladies, if any story is about waiting, this is it.
In fact, it’s an amazing story about love, patience, strength, patience, courage, patience and faith…oh, and did I say patience? It’s a long clip, but I urge you to watch the whole thing—it’s so worth it.
And don’t forget to come back and share your thoughts in the comments below!
Ladies, what did you learn from the story of Max and Bonnie-Kate?

This video is extraordinary! Their story is so inspiring and I’m so thankful to PI for posting it. I’ve watched it several times and it never fails to amaze me. God’s work in their relationship is evident and I’m so glad they chose to make him a prominent part of the video.

That’s really sweet 🙂 🙂
It’s really inspirational.
The world says, “Live a little while you can.”
It says, “You can do whatever you want and there won’t be any consequences for what you do.”
But there are consequences. If you allow yourself to be patient (I admit, a lot of times, I’m not) and wait for those things that God will give you, you will find a more prosperous (if not materially then at least spiritually) life awaiting you.
So this is for me and for all of you, please be patient my dear sisters. Whatever comes to pass, let us wait upon the Lord who strengthens us to work through us. Though death itself block our path, let us cry out to the Lord for he is mightier than all who have ever and will ever stand in our way. If only we rely on him and wait.

Just wait, people. It is SO worth it in the end. That’s what I learned. 🙂

That was so great to watch inspired my faith beyond belief. I am again reassured that waiting patiently on God to bring whatever HE may is the best option ever. God bless them both and all of you on your journey.

This is beautiful. All those heartfelt and whole hearted things he said about his wife were incredible. It blew me away how long he waited and was willing to put in every effort to serve her.

WOW! How amazing was that?! Sjoes, I desire a love story like that! Sacrifice, patience, mutual adoration and above all God’s guidance and sovereign 🙂 Yes please. I wish them happiness and success in their marriage and life together.

This is so amazing

To add to my previous comment, but this is more proof that doing things God’s way is the best way. Trust God. I feel like this quote from God’s NOT Dead applies to Max and Bonnie Kate’s story:
~ He [God] gives us what we’d ask for if we knew what He knows ~
I’m sure Max and Bonnie Kate would not have asked for a lot of what happened to them, but they trusted God through it all. Max believed that Bonnie Kate was who God had for him, so he waited. So amazing and encouraging.

Bonnie Kate is so pretty! She reminds me of two sisters I know. I pray God makes me worthy of pursuing like Max said. I pray I am worthy of the Godly man that I dream of.

Posted by Speak4Elohim on November 2, 2014 at 07:37
Oh gosh! I’m just sitting here smiling and crying. That is so beautiful! I know that someday, if God wills it, someone will be willing to fight this long and hard for me. <3

That video just makes you want to be the person that someone would fight so hard for.

It may because my period’s coming, or that I’m just a helpless romantic/forever alone, but this made me cry <3
