Letter to My Future Husband

My lover, my dear future husband,

I have been praying for you for 12 years, or even more. My family and friends have been praying for you too, so you do have a lot of people to meet when you become part of my life!

I don’t know where or when I will meet you, or how we will meet but I am confident that just as God brought the freshly created Eve to Adam in the Garden of Eden, our meeting will be in God’s perfect timing.

Meanwhile, I will continue to enjoy and celebrate life. I have a tight knitted family and close community whom I enjoy spending time with. I have hobbies to keep me occupied. I am trying to accomplish a few interesting dreams of mine too. I understand that I am complete in Christ (Colossians 2:10), and I am not depending on you to complete me. But, surely, your presence and giftings will bring much joy and complement my deficiencies.

I will continue to develop my gifts too, so that when we are together, it will be a celebration of our different gifts and a partnership of our lives together.

I will also keep myself pure so that my purity will be the most wonderful present for you.

I can’t wait to finally meet you and to hear what God has been doing in your life too!

Your Future Wife,

Candy

Place me like a seal over your heart,     like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death,     its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire,     like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love;     rivers cannot sweep it away. If one were to give     all the wealth of one’s house for love,     it would be utterly scorned. (Song of Songs 8:6-7)
