Feel free to compose a love letter to the one God has prepared for you even if you haven't met him/her yet. I didn't write this one but I wish I did!

A Letter To the One that God has Prepared For Me

I am wondering at this very minute if you are thinking of me, if like me, you are wondering what is taking us so long to find each other. Many times I thought I finally found you only to be disillusioned by the fact that my wait has not yet ended. I get up each morning hoping, dreaming, longing to meet you.

I am thinking of how we will meet, would it be as romantic as the ones I have seen in movies? Or is it possible that I have known you all my life but we have yet to realize that we are meant for each other? Oh how I wish you were here right now because you are the only one who has the answers to all my questions.

Sometimes I ask myself if I have ever really known "love". I do not have the answer to that question either but I believe that, more often than not, we will never really know what love is until we find that right person.... and since I have not found you yet, then maybe I do not really know what love is!

You just don't know how often I dream of finally knowing what it feels like to be in your arms. Even at this very moment I am imagining how you will simply sweep me off my feet! Perhaps I would be drawn to you by your smile, or your eyes, or maybe even how you manage to make me laugh by your silly little ways!

I don't really know for sure but I am praying that God will help me recognize you when the right time comes. I think of all the pain that I have gone through in the past and of how much I have cried since the day I began my search. I just wanted you to know that I find my strength in clinging onto my vision of the beautiful life ahead of me --- the life I shall spend with you. In my mind and in my heart I know that you are worth all that pain and sacrifice.

After all, the tears have become a part of my life and I believe that they are slowly washing away my flaws so that I would become perfect, not perfect in its truest sense, but perfect --- for YOU! I wonder if you've gone through so much pain as well. I wonder if you've been hurt so many times along the journey.

But my dearest one, please don't ever give up because I am right here... patiently waiting for you! I assure you that when we finally find each other I would slowly heal those wounds by my love.

At night, I would look out my window and stare at the beautiful sky, hoping that somehow you are also looking up and wondering about me. I utter a silent prayer and send all my cries to the heavens above thinking that in time they would reach you. And when I feel impatient, I just close my eyes and believe that you are on your way and that you are longing to see me as well. It is funny but when I finally fall asleep, it is still you that I think of, for you are always in my dreams. It seems that, for now, that is the only place where I can hold on to you, long enough to tell you how much I love you. In my dreams you would kiss away my fears and wrap me with your arms of love.

And this, all the more, makes me want to wake up and face the new day ahead with the hope that soon enough, you will no longer be a dream but a reality and once again I am assured that you are worth the wait. And when that time comes, everything will fall into its place, just as I had imagined, just as I had thought and dreamed, just as I had believed it would be! By then, I would simply look back and smile at all that I have gone through, in spite of the pain and amidst the simple joys of life --- and I would be very thankful because they all led me to you!

In the meantime, take care of yourself for me. Hold on to our dream and don't even think of letting go. Believe in your heart that we will find each other no matter what happens. God has planned the course and it is up to us to follow the directions. Don't worry, don't be afraid about getting lost, God saw to it that all the roads, no matter which one you choose to follow, lead to me.

I don't have the right words to express what that letter means to me, it's like you read my mind with your posts. Where do you find these things? Your posts always end up giving me chills, it's amazing how much your posts speak to me.

Hi wvmtnkid! Isn't it a wonderful feeling knowing that you are being prayed for by the same person you are praying for? So awesome when you think about it.

Anna, hey! Maybe it's because God has transformed our minds so that we think on the same wavelength? When I come across essays like this which convey so well what I'm feeling inside, I realize that we all share the same experiences while waiting for the right one. Our prayers are the same, our burdens, our tears. Methinks the waiting game is a universal experience for all Christians. :sorry:

I don't remember anymore where I got that essay. Most of the stuff I've posted in this forum were forwarded to me by friends.

I would want to tell her not to give up, I would tell her to stay strong and persevere.
I would want her to know that I will be waiting for her at the end, and that when we do finally meet each other I will never let her go. She would need to know that our present suffering pales to the coming glory. She should realize that our lives WILL work together for good because we both love our God and are called according to HIS purpose. She should know that no matter how she feels, what people may say or what fashion dictates to me she will always be absolutely beautiful, for who she is and how she lives. She should know that anything worth having is worth fighting for and that I am fighting for her every day of my life.

Finally, I would simply want her to know that she has a love waiting for her that knows no bounds. She has the pure love of Christ that lives in within and is given out imperfectly but plentifully through this willing vessel that is called "I".

- Amen :)

In the form of a prayer:
I pray that you are surrounded by some good fellowship and that the Lord is developing you in the same ways He's been me this year. And that as we are both growing in our character, we may use each day of our Singleness to glorify the Lord, be a Salt and LIGHT to the Lost and build up/edify those in the BODY of Christ. May the Lord protect you as you face spiritual battles and be blessed with the discernment to see opposition within the body of Christ as from the enemy and not the individual. I pray the Lord is developing you into the leader you need to be both in your future marriage and within the body of Christ, I pray. Until the day you are revelealed, as with me too, stay strong, fight the good fight and allow humor to be your relief for the trying.

Dear Unknown,

Please don't do anything stupid like get married to the wrong person before we meet. I've only been following the Lord for a few years, so Him and I are catching up on ALOT right now. Also, he is teaching me to be more patient and forgiving. I know for sure I'm not ready to meet you just yet. Please be patient and wait!!!! I know God is teaching us both alot right now. I'm sure you are a very interesting character indeed. I have much more to say. I will write another letter later.

:doh:oh man, I never got married to the wrong person, but I got into a live in girlfriend relationship and had a kid out of wedlock, I wonder if other women are thinking like you especially with guys in my situation.

I don't think having my daughter was a mistake though; she is incredible, she exceeded all my expectations in a kid.

If God can forgive you, so can a future spouse. Maybe she had a live-in boyfriend and a kid out of wedlock too, and has repented and is following the Lord.
