Learning to Fall in Love

I love me some girl time, it's simply amazing, and it's something I'm learning that is a necessary part to my life. God's blessed me with some amazing girls and I'm beyond thankful for them. Today my friend Haley and I were talking about dating and our thoughts on it. In that conversation she shared with me this prayer (posted below) that God has for us. As humans we normally choose to pick what our heart desires, not Gods. Lately God has been revealing to me a lot about past relationships I've been in and what my heart should desire.And that is to love God alone. I need to learn to fall completely in love with God before someone else.

Wait until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me alone,
with giving yourself entirely, unreservedly to Me alone.

I love you, My child, but until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another as you desire to be until you are united with Me, exclusive of anything or anyone else; exclusive of other desires and belongings.

I want you to stop planning and stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan that exists-one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the very best. Please allow Me to bring it to you.

Just keep your eyes on Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing that satisfaction of knowing that I AM. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you.

You must be patient.

Don't be anxious.
Don't worry.

Don't look around at the things others have done.
Don't look at the things you want.
Just keep looking at Me, or you will miss what I want to give you.

And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than you could ever dream. You see, when you and the one I have for you are ready, when you are both satisfied exclusively with Me, and your relationship relflects your relationship with me...this is perfect love.


I hope that I will never forget the plan God has for my life. His ways are higher. His ways are better than I can ever dream of. He has a plan for me, the perfect guy for me, so in the meantime I will fall head over heels for my Father in heaven. I will worship and sing him praise. I will get lost in His ocean of love.
