“Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone; to have a deep soul relationship with another; to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God says,
No, not until you satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me alone, and with having intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone, discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found; only then will you 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 else, exclusive of any other desires or longings, I want you to stop planning,
stop wishing,
and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing, one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow me to bring it to you.

You just wait. That’s all.

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 think you want.

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 far more wonderful than you could dream of. You see, until you are ready (I am working even at this moment to have both of you ready at the same time), until both of you are satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have planned for you, you won’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me; and this perfect love.
And, dear one, I want you to have this 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 everlasting love that I offer you with Myself. Know that I love you utterly. I am God. Believe and be satisfied.”

I think this speaks for it's self. I first read it in "The Theology of the Mind and Body for Teens" and it continues to speak to me and encouage me. Waiting can be so hard. Especially when friends and finding boyfriends (or girlfriends) and you see couples all over the place and it feels like no one has ever given you a second thought. But God is in control of my love story. He'll bring the perfect man for me when the time is right. And it will be even better, becuase I waited.

  1. Grace, if you could see things from my perspective (30 years in advance of you), you would see that there's so much more to life and romance is only one part of it. And while a year or two can seem like a century, you are so young and your quote is right, there is so much more you can offer in and through a relationship with a special guy if you've grown as a person in relationship with God first, then, when the time is right, if that is God's plan for you, you will meet that person.

  2. Thanks, it really means a lot to hear from someone who's been there before.
