Truth be told, I can't remember what it's like to like someone romantically, much less like someone enough to be with them everyday for the rest of my life.

Feels overwhelming sometimes, waiting and anticipating the many ways it won't work out. Suppressing the green eyed monster. And dreading being the last one standing.

Everyone longs to give himself to someone--
To have a deep soul relationship with another;
To be loved thoroughly and exclusively;
But God, to a Christian says:
"No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content
with being loved by Me alone;
with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me alone;
with having an intense, personal, and unique relationship
with Me;

Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found,
Will you be capable of the perfect human relationship
That I have for you.
You will never be united with another until you are united with Me;
Exclusive of anyone or anything else;
Exclusive of anyone to hear desires or longings.

I want you to stop planning, stop wishing,
And allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing--
One that you cannot imagine.
I want you to have the best!
Please allow Me to give you the best.
You just keep watching Me, experiencing the satisfaction
That I am.
Keep listening and learning the things I tell you.
You just wait, that's all.

Don't be anxious; don't worry.
Don't look around at the things others have gotten
or that I have given them.
Don't look at the things you think you want.
You just keep looking to Me, or you'll miss what I want to show you.

And then, when you're ready.
I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any
you would dream of.
You see, until you are ready, and the one I have for you is ready.
(For I am working even at this moment to have both of you
ready at the same time);
Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me, and the life
I've prepared for you,
You won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your
relationship with Me.
(For this is the perfect love.)

And, dear child, I want you to have this most wonderful love.
I want you to see, in the flesh, a picture of your relationship
with Me.
And enjoy, materially and concretely, the everlasting union
of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you with Myself.
Know that I love you utterly. I am God; believe it, and be satisfied.
