Dear Mr. Husband,
I know this isn’t conventional in any way but hey at least you get to know what is going on in your wife’s head first hand.
I will, truly speaking be your wife and you my husband, yes the husband of my choice. I know without a doubt in my mind that you are one special man. I already know also for a fact that you love Jesus and He is Lord over your life. I also figure out that you must be going through some process and season in your life; i mean how else would you explain that we have not met to date? I know that God must be getting you ready for His precious daughter as He readies me for you.
I have pictured our first meeting a million times; I have played it in my mind over and over again. I have seen your eyes light up and dance and heard your first “helloâ€; I have lingered on it for ages. I have seen your first smile just for me, saying to my heart in a million ways “I am so glad I waited, I am home at lastâ€. I have lived through our first real date, when you finally gathered the courage to ask me out.
I have seen your uneasiness trying to figure out where to take me and our first awkward meal together where the food was never really tasted, because that’s how the first dates are anyways. I have pictured the endless talk that was birthed after that first clumsy date.
I have talked to you for hours on end on my phone, simply because I found the one who “hears†my heart. I have laughed a thousand laughs at the silly things you said, and I have cherished the silent moments because it is in this quietness that you spoke to me.
My husband, you need to know that I am waiting for you. That sometimes I have frequently asked our Father in heaven what makes this process take this long. I had often wondered, why were so many of my beautiful sisters single and the years just seemed to pass by.
I never thought I would get to this point of asking the same for myself. Oftentimes in bewilderment I asked the Father where you were and what you were doing and pondered if you thought of me like I think of you.
I recently started praying for you. I must confess I never did any praying for you in the past. I am sorry. Now it’s a different story I pray for you and in actual fact I want to set a day apart for you where I fast and pray for you. I pray that when you wake up in the morning you may have the strength to conquer the day. I pray that God would send His angels to minister to you and to renew you throughout the day. Above all I must confess that I pray your eyes may be open to SEE ME and LOCATE ME (**wink wink**).
I kind of used to pray that last bit a little bit more than the others before I realized that I cannot have a prince if I am not a princess. I mean God isn’t going to let one of His sons lose on me if I am not a daughter first. And so rest assured that my prayer also is that I may be the wife you are looking for. That I may be molded from your rib, and that I may be God’s perfect match for you.
Every day I take a little better care of myself, not that I didn’t before, but now I realize your wife must be better than the rest. My generation needs a woman and a daughter of prayer. Proverbs 31 isn’t just what it used to before. I read it prayerfully seeking to be that woman whose family is her priority.
Do not be mistaken I know marriages are work, I am getting ready to give ours all I am and I know with God on our side we will make it to the end. I am so excited at the dawn of each new day, because it brings our meeting closer each day. I have “kissed†a few frogs and boy didn’t they taste so nasty!! I nearly thought that those experiences would keep me away from you, but ain’t I glad I met them because it will make knowing the real deal much easier. I know you have your own share of drama and I know those will make good stories in our sunset years, because I see forever with you.
Waiting isn’t always easy and it isn’t fun if you asked me, but for you my husband, the husband of my choice; for you I will wait and I will wait well. You are truly worth the wait.
But let me wind up by telling you this, you need to open your eyes and see me because the bible says once you find me and make me yours you will obtain favor from the Lord. I don’t want you missing out on what favor I bring! I too know that I am worth the wait.
And so until the day we meet, until that first “helloâ€, I continue waiting and trusting knowing that soon I shall be yours and you shall be mine.
Yours truly, Your future Wife .
