I am up much too late, battling anxiety and trying to meditate on this scripture:
Philippians 4:8
New International Version (NIV)
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
I am overwhelmed thinking about Juan. My handsome, hard-working, Hulk of a husband. He LOVES me! HE loves ME! It is so hard to understand why. Before Juan, I never felt loved in a relationship. I constantly felt undeserving, waiting for him (whoever he was) to realize what a terrible person I was and run for the door, and every single time, he did! I began to believe that marriage just wasn't going to happen for me. And then along came Juan. He was the most unexpected blessing. He never once made me feel like I wasn't good enough for him. He never made me feel like a waste of his time. He never made me feel stupid or ugly. He was always kind, loving, understanding, and interested. To this day (almost 10 years later), I am amazed that this beautiful man loves me. God has given me so much more than I deserve in him. So today, I am going to focus on the fact that God loves me, and he gave me a husband who loves me.
So ladies, if you are unmarried, please know that you, too, are loved. You do not need to settle for just "anyone", but need to wait for "THE ONE". If you have any doubt, he's not right. If he makes you feel bad about yourself, he's not right. Hold out! It is SO worth it!
