The question

God has bought a very special girl in my life. At the moment I am praying to find if she is the one that the Lord has chosen for me. One thing that is bothering me a little bit is that she is two years older then me. Is this enough reason to say that she is not from God?

The answer

Before making any decision, we should pray that God might reveal His will to us. God guides us by giving us signs or by circumstances that would confirm our contemplated decision. More importantly, we have to have a sense of peace regarding this decision. I see that you do not have this inward peace nor real assurance that this is God's will. Therefore I suggest that you continue praying looking for affirmative signs. Do not make a quick decision but rather give it more time to make sure that this is what God has designated for you.
