My Dear

"I love you my dear. You are everything I ever wanted, everything I ever needed!"

Everyone has the desire in them to be loved and to love. Every girl longs for the day when the man of her dreams is going to come along and sweep her off her feet. A lot of girls wait hopelessly, getting into any relationship she can to fulfill this desire, even if it's only for a short period of time. Truth is, every one longs for someone that they can share their life with. We want someone to laugh with, cry with, and to simply just live life with; to be with someone forever, someone that will always love us no matter what-someone that we can love with all of our being. 

As I found myself longing for love, God began to show me that He is all that I need. Now this isn't to say that dating is bad, but that we shouldn't be longing for that earthly relationship more than we long for God-our true Beloved. When I was longing for a boyfriend, I was so unfulfilled; it left me unsettled. But once I began to look to God and allow Him to take over this area of my life, peace came. I know that I can trust Him with the deepest desires of my heart. Once I began to hand over all my desires of finding a boyfriend/future husband, God began to reveal to me yet another thing about Himself. A Bethel song says, "I love you my dear. You are everything I ever wanted, everything I ever needed". God is my dear, and I am His dear! Just as we sing that to Him, He sings it back to us! I don't have to worry about finding fulfillment in a relationship, because I know that as I continue on my pursuit of God, He will bring the right guy around at the right time. It's so important for us to entrust our relationships and desires into God's hands because He knows who the perfect person is for us, and He has perfect timing! I know that He is preparing my heart for the person that He has for me, along with his heart.

Allow God to guide you whenever you're entering into a relationship, because He knows whether it's the right one or not. Now I'm not saying that everyone should only date one person, then marry that person. I'm just saying to keep God involved in your dating life, because He cares about you and He has some real good input, if you allow Him to take part! He created you and formed your heart in His hands. He planted your desires in you, so don't you think He knows how to fulfill them? View God as your beloved and pursue His heart and getting to know Him as you would a boy you like. Let God fill your thoughts and time. Allow Him to be first in your heart. 

I am my Beloved's and He is mine!
