My Endless Vow =)
IDEALISMS 2002: Just A.S.K. =)
Years ago I asked God to send me a husband,
for the Bible says “you have not because you ask not"
I told the Lord not just that I wanted a husband
but even explained to Him the kind of husband I was looking for.
I told Him I wanted someone who is kind, tender, gentle, compassionate,
loving, sincere, peaceful, generous, affectionate, understanding,
passionate, warm, intelligent, humorous, sensual, and trustful.
I even mentioned things I wanted him to be physically. And as time passed, I would add more things
to this list of my heart desire for a husband.
Then one night in prayer God spoke to my heart and said…
“Daughter, I can not give you what you’ve asked me for"
I said, “Why not, Lord?“
He replied, “For I am a just God and a God of righteousness and
all I do is just and right.“ I said, “Lord, I don’t understand
why I cannot have what I have asked you for."
He replied, “Then I will explain. It would not be just and right for me
to grant to you your wish for I cannot give unto you something that you are not yourself. It would not be fair for me to
grant unto you a person that is loving if you can sometimes be hateful,
or someone that is kind if you can also be mean, someone that is a forgiver
and yet you can still carry a grudge, someone that is sensitive
and you are yet so insensitive… etc.
He said unto me, “Instead of wasting time trying to find someone
or hoping that I will give you someone with all these qualities you seek, you should rather allow me to take this time
to allow you to become all it is that you are looking for. For I cannot give to you that which you are not."
“And if you allow me to work up on your spirit and to shape and
mold your heart as I choose then when you see the one I have for you, you will be able to say like Adam said…
“She is bone of my bone and she is flesh of my flesh"
for you will see yourself in her for you both will be one flesh.“
Keep this in mind…
" God made woman from man’s rib –
not from his head to top him,
nor from his feet to be walked upon;
but from his side to be his partner in life,
from under his arm to be protected by him,
and from near his heart to be loved by him.
