Good things come to those who wait
You are so very very precious to God, and he WANTS to spoil you, as a father spoils a favourite daughter.
I haven't written here for a while and my only excuse is that I've been so busy, and at the same time really really happy. God in His great love has introduced me to the man I've been waiting for all my life. And now he's here, I realise the 26 years without him, the wrong boys I've been with, the pain, the heartbreak, though I sometimes wish I could have been spared it, it's all been worth it. I'd wait another 26 years for this man. He fits me like a glove. God is so good.
I don't want to sound condescending or patronising to any of my readers who are still waiting for the man or woman God has for them, but please humour me and allow me to offer this simply as an encouragement. I know how hard it is to be waiting, I know how you feel when you've just had enough of the wrong men (or women). For you, dearest readers, God's heart is yearning for you far more than you have ever yearned for your other halves. Let Him love you, let Him lavish you with all the affection only He can give. Because I assure you, even when you meet the person who is so perfect for you you simply know they were made to order for you, even they will let you down, even they will have days when they don't love you as they should, but God, the wonderful Lord, He shows you nothing but the best love. It is His love that will show you the kind of love you should expect.
And believe me, when He does bring you together with the one He has made for you from the beginning of time, the one whose side you were taken from, or the one who was taken from your side (in the case of the men), the one who was made from the same lifeless lump of clay, well, your "ideal man/woman" will pale into insignificance beside them. God knows better than you know yourself who you want and need. He made you, and He made them. NEVER stop believing it. But let Him love you first. He so desperately wants to. No one else can delight his heart like you can.
"But now, this is what the LORD says - he who created you, he who formed you: 'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are MINE. You are precious and honoured in my sight, and I love you." Isaiah 43:1, 4b
"You have captured my heart, my treasure, my bride. You hold it hostage with one glance of your eyes..." Song of Songs 4:9
"Wait for the LORD. Be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD." Psalm 27:14
"Delight yourself in the LORD nad he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
