Some of you might recognize this essay, which was printed in the Winter/Spring ’98 issue of Dear Princess. We recently received this from a subscriber, Stephanie Kingery, and at first we didn’t think of printing it. However, we received a blessing from it again and thought that it went well with our theme this issue; hence, it appears once again in these pages.
God’s Choice
Every girl longs to give herself completely to someone, to have a deep relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and completely and exclusively.
But to His child, the Lord says, “No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me, with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone, discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, will you be capable of the perfect human relationship with another. You will never be happily united with Me, exclusive of anyone else or anything else, exclusive of any other desire or longing.
“I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plans existing—ones that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best.
“Please allow Me to bring him to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest, keep experiencing the greatest, and keep experiencing the satisfaction that I Am… keep listening and learning the things I tell you. Just wait… that’s all. And when you are ready, I’ll surprise you with the love far more wonderful than any you would dream. You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready—I’m working at this very moment to have one ready at the same time. Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me, and the life I’ve given you, you won’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and is then the ‘perfect love.’
“And, Dear One, I want you to have the most and wonderful love. I want you in the flesh to have a picture of your relationship with Me and to enjoy completely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you. Know that I love you utterly. Believe it and be satisfied.”
