All I Want Is Forever (11 page)

Then one day it finally hit me. 
I realized I had allowed those men to uncover and tamper with my intended purpose when God had something better planned for me.  It was true because He said it in Jeremiah 29:11.  I realized that all the time I was looking for someone to love me…someone already did.  It was true because He said it in John 3:16.

Strange things began to happen.  People started disappearing out of my life, which
was a good thing; it was what I prayed for.  The more I stayed in Him, the more my prayers and dreams of long standing started to finally come to fruition.  He started granting me the desires of my heart.  God hears the cries of His daughters and He answers them according to His will. 

God knew where I was and He knew what I needed.  When I stopped looking for love and accepted
the love, which was being freely given to me, from the one man who never wanted anything more than my love in return; all the things I wanted from those men that I never received was being given to me.  I simply had to shift my focus.

I
know some of you are probably saying, ‘it’s not that easy,’ and I know it’s not.  I’d be lying if I said that it was.  What I’d like to do is challenge you.  I’d like to challenge you to stop trying to make ‘man’ love you.  I’d like to challenge you to stop waiting on ‘man’ to love you when there’s already a man who does and actually loved you first. I’d like to challenge you to stop selling yourself short and recognize when you have a good man who is willing to love you pass your pain, help you deal with your insecurities and assist in ridding you of old baggage.

There’s a man p
atiently waiting and wanting to love you. Give him a chance.  Stop looking for reasons to stay sheltered in your cocoon. Once you begin to love Him back, He’ll send you an earthly companion who will be more than you ever imagined he could be.  You have to be patient.  So, it’s time to begin molting. I hope you’re prepared to spread your wings and fly away.

Oh, and when He does send “the one
,” I pray that your heart is healed enough to receive the love that he has been equipped to give. And just to let you in on a little secret:  I waited a long time for my ‘one’, but he was nothing short of worth the wait.  Sometimes you have to stop pursuing what you want so that God can send you what you need.

Thank y
ou for your time and attention.  May God bless you all.”
