Love Awaits You

The other night I had an 84 year old man take me by the hand, look me in the eye and tell me that I am beautiful and worth the wait. Yes, I had heard this so many times before but it was nice to hear again. Sometimes in this "gotta get married asap" world you get weary wondering if that prince charming will actually show up at your door step. This man reminded me how important it is to wait on Gods timing, and not to rush into something. Marriage is a serious thing, not something to mess around with.

Psalm 37:4-7

"Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in himand he will do this. He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes."

The same 84 year old man also pointed out this verse to me and told me to underline the bold words in my bible. I need to trust, delight myself in Him, commit my ways to him and be still and wait patiently for whoever that man is.

"A woman must be so lost in God that a man has to seek Him to find her"

Dear Lord,

While I'm waiting make me patient, allow me to find every opportunity to serve you and mold me into the woman you would have me to be. If it be your will, could this process accelerate a little?

Love,

Your impatient daughter
