A LETTER TO THE MAN THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR ME

My Dearest,

Because we are separated by time, I am writing this letter as a way of reaching into the future – to tell that I have been waiting for the right time to finally meet you.

Even though I don’t know exactly who you will be yet, I’m confident that you’ll be the best man I will ever have. Not because we were attracted and in love to each other but simply because we were partnered by God. I’m filled with excitement to know you! Did our paths already cross? Have we spent time together? Are you excited just like how I feel? Are you thinking about me too? What did you like about me? How I wish I can fast track the days so you can answer all these questions, but for now, I will wait… patiently.

It’s a strange feeling to love someone whom I do not even know. But, in a way that I can’t explain, I love you now and I promise to love you for the rest of my life. I always look forward on the day that I can finally say these words to you in person. That real moment when I can hug you, hold your hands and memorize everything about you – your face, your voice, your traits – the whole you.

Recently, I have been thinking a lot about you. I have been imagining what it feels to be loved by you. I have been dreaming on our future together. And with this, I yearn for you, I eagerly long for you. My prayer for now is that this longing will draw me closer to God because as much as I want to be with you now, I will always want Him more. I believe that His grace is sufficient to sustain all my needs, all my wants. And I pray to God that you should feel the same way – that you should put him first in your life because this will draw me towards you and this will make our bond stronger.

Someday you and I will talk about our past – our life. There may be laughter, pains, thankfulness and even regrets. You will discover some things about me that you will not actually like. It may hurt you. But darling, please don’t give up on me. Please do understand. Same thing with you, if there is anything, anything at all in your past that might hurt me, know that you will have my forgiveness. You do not have to earn it; it is yours. I do not want our future to hold any hatreds or bitterness. Let God be our example. How he forgave us. How he accepted us. How he loved us. How he fought for us despite of all the wrong things we have done. Let him be our guide.

Though the season of waiting is not easy, just think of this as a preparation for the future. God is molding us, turning us into a more matured man and woman. So when the right time comes, we are both equipped to face the challenges that the world has to offer. Yes, we will face those together. Just remember – our love for God should be stronger than the love that we have for each other because He will hold us together when the world tries to tear us apart.

In the meantime, take care of yourself for me. Hold on to our dream and don’t even think of letting go. I am just at the end of the road, smiling, patiently waiting for you to come because I know that every second of the wait will be worth it.

I love you so much, my dearest.

Yours and only yours,
Genine
