Now, look at the list that you have made. Who does the list remind you of? Someone perfect? Someone you think is too good to be true? Who is too good to be true? I know the list that I had from a very young age had many things on there that I know now is ridiculous but some things I still hold dear to my heart. This weekend, I found a letter that I wrote to God when I was 14 exactly 10 years ago this week. Creepy huh? Well, I read through it and I was a little naive but there were some things written that to this day, I still pray for. I longed for someone who loved God more than me. Someone who searched after God's own heart and believed with everything that they are that God will take care of them no matter what life deals them. I wrote that I wanted a man who had a huge heart for children and was compassionate and caring. Now look at all the qualities that I just named. Who does that sound like to you? If you said God Himself, you're right. I have been holding out for the man of my dreams but He has been there all along. Leslie had a friend tell her that the reason that she had listed qualities that reminded her of God was because He wants us to search for a man or woman with a character like Jesus Christ. God puts those desires in our hearts so we can know that when He has shown us who our future spouse is that we know we have not settled for the regular old guy. Instead, He wants us to pray and believe that He has someone waiting for us that is perfect for us just as we are perfect for them. Just imagine waiting for that perfect person and being able to hold that person in your arms for the rest of your life. Why waste that on other "okay" type guys when you can have the "perfect" guy?
