For Him… Part 4

I received your letters and the main thing I took away from them is that there is so much for me to learn. This explains why I haven’t met you yet: because I’m not fully ready to receive all that you have to offer. The capacity for love that flows from your words is sometimes overwhelming to comprehend. Follow me for a moment:

We as humans are created in God’s image. His likeness. We are not his duplicates yet we possess all he possesses on a lower level. Understanding this makes the thought of God’s love for me so wonderful. He designed you to love me to the best of your ability and even that love is so minute in comparison to His love.

When I think about my dear friends and family, I know I know what love is. I see it. I feel it. I can display it to others. But somehow your letters have literally opened my eyes to a new capacity and possibility of love. As I prepare myself to one day meet you and become the wife you’ve been praying for, I anxiously await relearning everything I THOUGHT I knew about love and my role in your life. Yesterday at church, the pastor preached about the parable of the 10 virgins, 5 were prepared with extra oil for their lamps and 5 thought they were. All were living righteous and in position to receive their bridegroom, but the women who really took the time to prepare enjoyed all the benefits of the wedding banquet and were not left behind.

I do not want to meet you and be unprepared to be the wife you need. I truly hope that you are already proud of me and you are looking forward to the joy we will share in our future lives together because we took the time to properly prepare to enter our covenant with one another.
