residual thoughts

I was thinking, today...surprising, I know. :P

Seriously, though, I was thinking about love. *sigh* Yes, my friend, I said it...love. I was thinking about how magnificent God's love for me is, and how thankful I am for that love. God is truly the lover of my soul. He's all I need. How flippin' awesome is that? I mean, just as I was despairing about what it means to be single...to have passed up on opportunities...to be risking abandonment...a life of singleness...loneliness...anyway, just as I was pondering such thoughts and feelings, I was overwhelmed by God's love for me. I was struck by His beauty, His care, His kindness...He is the lover of my heart and soul. He's better than any man.

Then I realized that my husband would love me like God does. He will love me as Christ loves me...or as nearly as he can. No, he won't be perfect, nor will his love be perfect, but he'll use Christ as a model. He'll find me captivating...and beautiful...he'll love my mind...my heart...my soul...and my body. It'll be amazing...don't get me wrong, though. I'm not in a hurry. I have God. I'll always have God, and that's more than enough for me.

Beautiful Takara, God's loving daughter,
A girl who makes proud her Heavenly Father.
Never feel lonely, or lost or alone.
Remember God loves you and made you his own,
With all of your skills and a beautiful face,
He made you quite captivating and so full of grace.
So don't be afraid of who you happen to be.
You'll always be perfect to God and to me.

Is that from something? a book or something? obviously not with my name in it, but...it...made me tear up a bit because I was writing a song while I was at work the other day called, "Dry Your Eyes", and it talked about stuff like that...except maybe not as eloquently
