A love worth waiting for...

I've been reading a book called "What to do until love finds you", by Christian author Michelle McKinney Hammond.

That book caught my eye in the Church bookstore, not only because of the bright red cover, but because of the title. This is a book that I recommend for all Christian single girls...The reason why is because, yes, most of us want to find that kind of love that will last forever, that kind of love that will make us feel alive!

In the search for that love, we might make many mistakes and probably even trip over the same stone more than once.
I came to understand that JESUS is my first and biggest love, and what a blessing to know that He loves me back as much, or even more!!!

This book perfectly describes the way I felt after I started falling in love more and more with my LORD. When you get to know Jesus, the kind of man He was and still is, and how important and loved we are for him, we realize the kind of love that we deserve from a man, the kind of relationship that He wants us to have, in order to glorify his name.

I many times thought that I could go out with a guy who's not a christian and maybe start taking him to Church...But then I realized that's not what God wants for me. I couldn't be with someone who questions why I LOVE going to Church, reading my Bible, lifting up my hands to worship my LORD...He has to be someone who shares all these things with me, a spiritual leader.

I now know God has been protecting me from getting into the wrong relationships, and what a blessing to find that out!!
I just want to leave you my sisters with a poem from that book that I LOVED...About the kind of love we deserve, and that Jesus wants us to find...ENJOY!

I want a man
not just any man
I want God's man
hand-picked
kingdom appointed
for such a woman as this...
I'm looking for a love
not just any love
I want the God kind of love
filling a heart that beats
to the kingdom's rhythm
unadulterated
Holy Ghost saturated
the kinda love that
can't be rated...
poured out
runnin' over
like water in a glass
already full of good things
smooth as silk
yet tough as a rope
wrapping around my soul
keepin' it all together
forever
with room enough for me
to be
a woman
not just any woman
God's woman
whole and free
to love you
the way I want you to love me
with a love
not just any love
but the kind of love
rich as a sinful dessert
pure as tried gold
the kind of love that can hold
onto your hand
and God's at the very same time
delivered from all other ties that bind
and yes
I'm free enough to wait...
for a man
not just any man
but the man
who understands
and knows what love means
and lives what God says...
and wants what I want
a real love
a strong love
a tall love
agape love.
God's love!
