My dear one,
I thought I had might have met you once upon a time. There was a young man (a few years younger than I, to be honest), who was godly, intelligent, respectful... a diligent student, and a kind son and brother! I knew his family before I really knew him. The father hinted several times that I would be the "right kind of girl for his son," but nothing ever developed. I waited and prayed for several years, and I cried when I received his wedding announcement. But God makes no mistakes. He has us (you and me) in this prolonged time of waiting until the right time for our relationship to blossom.
There are several single guys in my circle of friends right now, but none that I want pursuing me. Sometimes I'm afraid of being mean, especially when guys are genuinely respectable and mature. But I'm waiting for you to come into my life! I will know you when I see you, I'm sure of it. Your godly wisdom, confidence, and eloquence will no doubt make me feel unworthy of your attention. But your humility, sensitivity, and selflessness will reassure me and make me comfortable in your presence. I will be nervous but eager to introduce you to my friends and family.
Tears spring to my eyes even now as I wonder if and when God will give me such a man. Yet I must never place you as an idol above the Lord. Only He can supply what my soul craves. Only He brings true satisfaction. Only He is worthy of my worship. May our love for one another and our gospel focus bring Him all the glory due to His Name! Soli Deo gloria!
I will continue in service to the King while I wait for you!
Sleep well, sweetheart.
