True Love Waits

True Love Waits

That moment…that special moment when your whole life changes, that moment when you find the one person made just for you…

As a teenager, I wanted what my peers had: I wanted a boyfriend. I daydreamed and desired that desperately. Finally, one evening I was talking to my Dad about it and then he prayed with me for that desire to be filled. God sent me what I had asked and I fell in love; I thought I had something that would last forever…as probably most young people do. In the end, all I ended up with was shattered dreams, a broken heart and too many tears to count.

After that, I changed my outlook. I wanted something more; I didn’t just want a boyfriend but I wanted a husband, someone I could spend the rest of my life with, someone to experience the good and the bad. A few young men caught my eye and I had a few that liked me, but none ever worked out and I have to thank God for that because they weren’t who He wanted for me.

To me, it seemed like a lifetime since my last relationship and, by that point I was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with me, if I just wasn’t loveable or if I was destined to be alone… It surely seemed that way to my foolish self. By the point, I was giving up…

God truly is amazing, you know? Really, just as I was giving up, He was sending me someone that would fulfill that role in my life. If we give everything to God, He will take care of it, that’s a promise! He knows the future and He has timing for everything, we just have to wait for it.

Okay, so I had a little crush on Justin and I even thought he might have felt the same about me…but I never really expected anything to come of it. I’ll never forget the moment he asked me out, how I felt…yes, I might have even danced around my living room in excitement, but that’s beside the point.

This relationship hasn’t been perfect, although I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Nothing in this world is perfect, but it has been God ordained and I know that the devil cannot destroy something God has ordained.

I got what I waited and prayed for; I got the man that the Lord wanted for me, the kind of man I wanted…and so much more. God doesn’t just answer our prayers, but goes beyond that and gives us more than enough. Truly, He is an awesome and wonderful God!

For those of you seeking a special someone, do not lose hope! God will bring you the perfect person in the perfect timing! Simply wait on Him.

God bless,
