His Plan

His Plan For Your Mate

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone - to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God, to a Christian, says "No, not until you are satisfied and fulfilled and content with living loved by me alone. I love you, my child, and until you discover that only in me in your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with me - exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of other desires and longings. I want you to stop planning, to stop wishing and allow me to give you the most thrilling plan existing - one that you can't even imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow me to bring it to you. Just keep watching me - expecting the greatest thing - keep experiencing that satisfaction knowing that I AM. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you...you must wait. Don't be anxious. Don't worry. Don't look around at the things others have gotten or that I've given them. Don't look at the things you want. You just keep looking off and away up to me, or you'll miss what I want to show you.
And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love more wonderful than anyone would ever dream. You see, until you are ready, and the on I have for you is ready, I am working even this very minute to have you both ready at the same time. Until you are both satisfied exclusively with me, and life I have prepared for you, you won't be able to experience that love that exemplifies your love with Me...and this is perfect love. And dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the existing union of beauty and perfection and love that I offer with you Myself. Know I love you utterly. I am God Almighty. Believe and be satisfied."

As I was going through my keepsake box the other night, I came across a paper with this written on it. I have no idea when I got it or where it came from, but it was definitely a "God thing" that I found it. I have been struggling with this soooo much lately. It is so easy for me to worry if I'll ever find the right guy. I'm a junior in college and I'm starting to feel a little pressured to find him. I realize that a lot of people get married after they leave college but its so hard to think about when friends are getting married, engaged, or even just in serious relationships. I constantly find myself daydreaming about what he will be like and how we will meet, rather than putting my time to good use. This letter really put me in my place (in a good way). It makes perfect sense! In Psalms 37:4, it says, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." This basically just sums up that paper...I have to love and rejoice and be fully satisfied with the Creator before I can experience the love God is preparing for me.
