A Singles' Prayer

I am God, you must know that I love you. I even sent my only son to die for you. You must know that I will never forsake you and I will never leave you alone. I will be with you always, even when you fail to return my affection I am patient with you.

I know that you long to give yourself to another person and have a deeply intimate relationship with them. You have wanted for sometime to be loved thoroughly, exclusively, and unconditionally by another person. Please know that I want you to have your hearts desire but right now I am asking you to wait.

Wait until you are satisfied with being loved by me alone, for I am a jealous God and I must know that you will have no other gods before me. Wait until you can find fulfillment in an intensely personal and unique relationship with me alone. Wait until you can be content with the knowledge that only in me is your satisfaction to be found. When you are ready, I have planned the perfect relationship for you. However, you are not ready for another relationship until you are committed to me exclusive of anyone or anything else, even your most secret desires and longings.

My beloved, I want you to have the best. Don't become discouraged, just keep expecting great things. Keep listening to me and talking with me. Keep learning the things that I'm trying to teach you. You just wait. Don't you be anxious, don't worry, don't even look at what others have or what I've given them. Don't become distracted by the things you think you want. Just keep looking ahead and up to Me, or you may miss what I want to show you.

When you are ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would have dreamed of. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready, your union cannot perfectly reflect my love for you. When both of you are ready I will unite you with my blessing and your union will more perfectly reflect our relationship.

Know that I am God, and I love you. ---- Author Unknown
