A Valentine's Note

A Valentine's Note

A year ago, for the first time in 4 years, I celebrated Valentine's Day as a single guy. I remember celebrating it without any frills. That day went by like a breeze--only colder. This time, I celebrate Valentine's Day with much hope. I see today as another Valentine's that I am without "her". But I rest in the hope of Psalm 27:14 as I "Wait for the Lord. Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Truly, God makes everything (and might I add everyone) beautiful in its own time. For now, this shall have to do.


Dearest,

I celebrate Valentine's without you beside me again. But I know there will come a time when you will be reading this and many other letters that I've written to you. I know that there will come a time when I will be gazing into your eyes and recognize the person whom I wrote all of my letters to. Just thinking about it now brings a smile to my face. Last year, I was worried about not ever finding you. But ever since I came to know who God is, He helped me and comforted me during those long nights when I still didn't know you. God changed me. And as I write this, He is making me into a better person . I'd like to think that the reason why I haven't met you is because God hasn't allowed it. But in truth, I know that God is preparing me to take care of you the rest of my life. It was probably a long wait but if you're reading this now then we both know that God's timing is perfect. This is only the beginning of my walk with God. And I know that when that magnificent day comes, as He passes amidst the crowd, holding my hand...He'll know exactly where you are and when we'll get to you. And I know that He'll find you and by the time we're both walking right with Him. He'll make us hold each other's hands--in His perfect time. Happy Valentine's.

Love,
Zeus
