Perfect Love

This was given to me by a college boyfriend named Andy when we were dating. It's kind of ironic that he would give it to me while we were dating, but he was a bit of a deep thinker and over-analyzer like me. I honestly have no recollection of the circumstances under which he gave it to me. I only remember that he said his aunt had given it to him.

My mother must have kept it (the woman has files for everything!) and gave it to me a while back when I was struggling with feeling alone and had lost hope that I would ever find anyone. I read it out loud to myself to help it to really sink in, and I re-read it from time-to-time to keep me focused on the positive. I keep it in my bible.

I don't know the author, nor does the sheet I have list a title for it. I did find something on the web with the title "God's Mate Selection," but I don't like it. It sounds way to sterile and pragmatic for something that has seemed a bit magical to me. So I'll try to forget that someone gave it that title.

Here it is...

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.
