Earlier today I was spending some time with the Lord and during our dialogue, I began to think about the man I will one day marry.
I think about him often. He comes to mind during random moments throughout the day. Hopeful wishes form as I journey through life and think of what it would be like to have a supportive partner by my side. There are many things that bring him to mind and I eagerly anticipate the day I will finally know who he is.
Today as he came to mind, I felt like I wanted to hear the Lord tell me more about him. I wanted to know what the Lord had to say about this man who holds a piece of my heart.
So, with my pen in hand, I vulnerably shared my feelings and asked the Lord, “What do you want to tell me about the one you have for me father?” and this is what He said:
“He will be patient and supportive.
He will love your passion and spur you on to greater goals.
He will love you well.
You will be his favorite thing.
He will beam and light-up when he sees you happy.
He will admire you when you share your heart with others.”
As I penned these words in my journal, these futuristic words I thought were describing the man I would one day marry, an image of Jesus in a crowd listening to me speak came to mind. I was overwhelmed with emotion. My question to the Lord was brought forth by a desire to know more about the man I would one day marry but that’s not what the words of my hand wrote down.
How sweet of my Abba to set my mind on the things above and remind me of the eternal. How loving of my Abba to refocus my attention on the one who loves me yesterday, today and tomorrow. The one who cherishes and adores me now.
As you read these words, I just want you to know how God feels about you. I want you to know how much you are loved. How special you are to Him. How much He beams and lights up as He looks at you. He is so proud of you and He wants you to know how much He cares.
This is what God says about you:
You are My masterpiece. (Ephesians 2:10)
You are accepted. (Romans 15:7)
You are loved beyond measure. (Romans 5:8)
You are My beloved child. (Galatians 3:26)
You are My friend and I want to spend time with you. (John 15:15)
I am with you always. (1 Corinthians 6:17)
I know who you are and I love your heart. (Psalm 139:1-2)
I have called you to do great things. You have a purpose. (Romans 8:28)
I will never leave you, I am with you always. (Isaiah 41:10)
When you are hurting, I am here. (Psalm 147:3)
