A letter from God

I know so many single women who get down on Valentine’s Day. This year I tried to think about what God would want us to know as we go through yet another year of singleness. I think if he wrote us a letter it would sound something like this:

Dear Daughter,

As Valentine’s Day approaches know that I have not forgotten you. I know sometimes it may feel that way because all your friends are married, but remember not everyone is worthy of your love. The man I created for you is special. He will be nothing like you thought but everything you wanted because you cannot imagine the man that I made in my image just for you. It is easy to get wrapped up in age and biological clocks but be reminded that I am not limited by what I created. There is a perfect time and place that I have ordained for you to meet the one I set aside just for you. I am shifting attitudes, mindsets and lives to prepare for your arrival. What I’m doing in your life is bigger than what you could accomplish alone, so you can’t be with just anyone. I have created someone for you with your past, present and future in mind and when the time is right I will introduce you. Keep your eyes focused on me and you won’t miss him. Learn to be comfortable in my presence and allow me to develop you. The man that I am sending to you is so great that an ordinary woman won’t do.

I know you are looking for the one I have for you and I appreciate your help but I don’t need it. I don’t need you to go on 100 dates to try to find someone. I don’t need you to wait around on someone you know is not right to see if they will change and I certainly don’t need you to lower you standards. Ignore what the world has told you. I am the standard. The reason you are single is not because you’re too picky.  It is because I’m picky. I am the God of details. All the little things matter where you are concerned. I created you for purpose. I made you, your future husband, and your marriage to glorify me. So if you marry just anyone it not only affects you but all the lives that will be touched by the ministry of your marriage.

Before you were ever formed in your mother’s womb I knew you. I know your likes and dislikes. It makes my heart glad to see you happy. I know the nights that you have cried and I have bottled up your tears. It’s disappointing to continue to meet new people only to discover that they are not it.  I also know it is easy to hold on to something for fear that you won’t find anything you like better. . I know it’s hard to wait. I can tell you that there is not a person who has ever waited on me and was disappointed. Hold fast to your belief in me. Trust me, you will not be put to shame.

I have promised your future husband the same thing I have promised you. A mate that is better than anything he could think to ask me for. You are no ordinary woman. Allow me to bring to the surface what I put in you from the very beginning, a heart for me. Pursue me. Spend time in my word. Follow me and you will find him because the meeting place is where your heart for me meets his heart for me.
