A letter...

Back in 2002 i went to Australia to work with IMB in helping a church with their youth group program. I didn't realize then how much God would also be working on my heart. Today while reading in my "travel" Bible, i call it this cause of how small it is, i found a paper my partner, Kellie, gave me.
At that point in my life i had never had a boyfriend, and not the stuff that goes along with it. Kellie gave me a letter, explaining it had come from God for me. Now i would like to share it with you. It explains what God has planned for us, and even if we slip off the trail, He'll get us back on track.


"Everyone wants to give himself to someone completely, to have a deep down relationship with another, and to be loved throughly and exclusively. But God says to a Christian, "No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me alone; until you are willing to give yourself totally and undeservingly to Me; until you have an intensely personal, 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 other desires and longings. I want you to stop planning and stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing----

One that you cannot imagine. Please allow Me to bring it to you . You must wait, that is all. Don't be anxious. Don't look at the thing you want. You just keep looking up to Me or you'll miss what i want to show you. And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love more wonderful than any of you could dream of. I am working even this minute to have both of you ready at the same time. You must both be satisfied exclusively with Me and the gift i have prepared----

For this exemplifies your relationship with Me and this is the perfect love! I want you to see it in the flesh, a picture of your relationship with Me and the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that i offer you with Myself. Know that I love you utterly. I am the Almighty God. Believe it and be satisfied."


Now sitting here after all that i've been through and what i know do i still believe this letter is true? And is it just about an external relationship?

I do believe this letter is quite true. I believe God, if we let Him, will and does prepare us for all things in life. He does this so we'll be more like Him. And being able to reread it, i see it's not just trusting God with our spouse, its about every aspect of our lives. To allow God to direct us in everything and all the while focusing on Him and being more like Him every minute of every day.

Is this easy and can we be perfect? No we are just humans, but the great news is God is and He continues to take us back and put us on His path.

Want to make God laugh?... Tell Him your plans :)
