He's just that enthralled with you!

Friday night a group of us gals went to dinner and a movie to celebrate the birthday of an amazing friend. We took in the new flick He's Just Not That Into You, along with the rest of the world... I say this because 1) we had to sit in the very front row of a very large theater and 2) the movie grossed over 10 million dollars on Friday night alone. 

Anyway, as I sat through this movie I was impressed with the stellar ensemble of  actors, I laughed here and there, but between the beginning and the end my heart broke. As I began to drive home, I could not shake the feeling of sadness... I soon realized I felt like someone had just broken up with me. As a somewhat newly married that felt TOTALLY out of place. I soon began to recognize that what the movie offered about love, commitment, relationships, sex, and marriage originated from a culture, a world that I am to be in, but not of.  This world is not to be my pattern, nor am I to conform to all that it offers. So, my heart was breaking... it was broken... for a world, a man, a woman, a child, any and everyone who does not know Love Himself. 

My heart also broke for those dearest friends of mine who are still waiting for that future relationship, for that Godly man to come along... and I want to remind you ~ he will come! 

I want you to know that you know that you know that you are the exception, not the rule... that the God of Psalm 139 who fearfully and wonderfully made you, knows your deepest longings and desires - when He skillfully wrought you together in the secret place it was Him that placed those desires within you. He will not forsake the work of His hands. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is enthralled by your beauty, you make His heart beat faster. You never leave His thoughts and He has written your name on the palm of His hands. He is crazy in love with you. 

I know our God does not change ~ He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He was faithful to me, to my heart, to my wait...  I know it easy to doubt, question, lose heart and wonder why... I vividly still remember the tears of singleness... but I know that I know that I know that God has someone set apart precisely for you... and I am praying for you...and that blessed man! 

Now, stop for a moment and think of Love Himself - and How He Loves Us...
