I will wait... for You.

"Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."

Proverbs 31:30

I have always heard people say, when referring to their future spouse, "I will wait for you." 

I completely agree with everything this statement implies, to a point.  Lately, God has really been working in my heart about relationships and what the future holds.  For a romantic like myself, this has been a tough topic.  But God is faithful! And though the things He has shown me steer away from our worldly view of romance, I assure you that He has shown me there is such a thing as a divine romance in which we fall madly, completely, and wholeheartedly in love with the Savior of the world.  

For me, the change in my heart can be reflected with the change in the case of one letter: "I will wait for you" turned into "I will wait for You."

You see, it's so much more than just finding "the one."  Its about finding the Lord, and walking in His ways, letting Him lead you down the path towards a life of marriage, or even a life of singleness.  Its not about finding a relationship with the one I'm meant to marry, its about finding a relationship with the One who knows if, when, and who I will marry.  

I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for my life.  If that includes a husband, I have so much joy at the thought of getting to fall in love with him and grow in the Lord with him.  If not, I have so much joy at the thought of getting to grow old in the spirit of Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 7.
