from a future husband, to a future bride
Please, I know its hard. I know its unbearable at times, but
please just wait for me.
I know you are lonely and you want someone to hold you,
someone to tell you that you’re beautiful, for someone to make you feel like
the luckiest girl in the world. I desperately want to be the one to do that.
You look around and wonder when you are going to get your “happy
ever after.” You will, just hang in there!
I’m here. Trust me, I am. I’m looking for you too. I’m lonely too.
But the places you are going looking for “love,” the things
you are doing to feel “love,” they are breaking my heart babe.
Those guys aren’t me… Those guys aren’t able to give you the
love I can. The love you were made to need. They give you tears, regrets and
insecurity. They make you feel dirty as you walk home after another night, all by
yourself. They make you feel worthless and you wake up with yet another
hangover wishing that what you know happened didn’t actually happen. Again.
They don’t care about you. You are just another girl. You
are just a fix. You are just a means to an end. Its fake! Don’t you see! Can’t
you see! They don’t love you!! I do…
I’m here. And Its killing me that I can’t be with you and that
you are torturing yourself like this.
When you do the things you are doing, go the places you go,
looking for me, you aren’t the girl I’m looking for. You won’t find me there, cause thats not the type of man you want. Thats not the type of man I am. Matter of fact, your wasting yourself away and becoming the opposite. I’m begging you. Please, stop.
And that love that you are looking for, that other half that
you so desperately want. It’s not even something I can give you. its something
that you first have to receive from Jesus. We can only love because he first loved
us. we have to receive his love.
So please, hear me out. I’m begging you. stop the torture. You may feel
numb, but you are
killing me. Its breaking my heart that you are throwing your precious pearls to
the pigs. And one day, you won’t feel numb as you tell me, the man of your dreams, all these things that you’ve done, your tarnished past, and watch as the tears stream down my face.
Seek real love. Get lost in that love that surpasses
knowledge and fulfills you in ways that will make me fall even more in love
with you. Be the girl you want me to marry even though we are yet to meet.
I’m here. I’m waiting for you. My heart longs for you.
Well said!
Wow….so good!
This touched me right in the soft spot of my heart. Right in the most sensitive area. You know, that place that most Americans like to pretend they don’t have 90% of the time. I can’t even tell you how beautiful and encouraging this is to me, as a young woman seeking satisfaction in Christ, yet still yearning after a husband. So thank you for sharing.
Well said Ryan. Godly men are looking for godly women and let me tell you, they will wait for you. I wish I could tell all women, don’t settle, don’t get impatient, seek God and He will show you a man of character. Plus God is the only One that will ever totally fill the whole in ones heart. Even the best spouse can never do that. Keep preaching the Word 🙂 Love ya
Where are you???????????
ryan, you’re such a romantic. it’s adorable. hope you’re doing well, bro!
This was amazing Ryan. Such an amazing point that needs to be drilled into the minds of so many girls my age.
POWERFUL!!! Thanks for this post, brother!
Saving this blog for those days when waiting for him seems unbearable. Thanks for writing this. Such an encouragement for a woman who often believes the Godly men like you are few and far between.
Thank you so much for this. I have been praying and praying that God will hold my heart because it so easily slips between my fingers. I pray with everything in me that my future husband is waiting for me. It’s hard, I’m lonely, but I know if I hold on just a little longer God has a plan for me that is far more then I could imagine. Your words gave me hope to hold on a little more. Thank you.
