Letters To My Bride

Lately, I have been seeking out God and very prayerfully asking him to prepare my heart and mind with what I am "looking for" in a wife.

This is not something I am going to take lightly.

The "process" that I am in ( "the journey" I call it) has stretched me beyond belief; it has taught so much, while bringing me more "in-step" with the Holy Spirit that is indwelt inside of me. (Not running away, not turning my head, just fully surrendering my heart, mind, soul, and body. Everything)

My future bride is the daughter of the creator of the universe. For that reason, and that reason alone, I cannot mince words and I cannot play games. I, and any other male for that matter, would be an absolute moron to play games with the daughter of the Father of everything we see. The God that flattened Sodom and Gomorrah? Uh yeah...I'm not messin' with that!!!!

With that being said, I began writing to her. Who? Her, my future bride.

If I am fully obedient then that means whatever, whenever, and however. If He thinks (check that, if He knows) that it will prepare me for the day I am joined in Holy Matrimony by writing to "her"; then so be it. This isn't my idea, it's His.

So it begins.

Guys (and I am no exception) are not always the greatest of communicators. And for that, I will ask for your prayers: prayers that I will fully communicate to my wife how much I love her; prayers that I will fully show her, before I know her, what she means to me; prayers that I am fully obedient and faithful to her, yes, even before I know her.

Like this blog, these letters will not be planned other than this: I will pray my heart out before writing and after I am done, the letter will be sealed and filed away -- only to be opened in the event I actually do get married.

And definitely pray for Her! Marry me? Heaven help!

Single dudes, if this sounds like something you are interested in doing by all means do it. Remember, it's an idea inspired by Him, to prepare me to fully honor, love, and respect Her, his daughter. This isn't something I am going to do for fun. And though it will make for a great gift for Her on our wedding day, it also isn't something I am doing for the "sweet-factor". This deal is for real.

All the Glory to God.

Ephesians 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
