His embrace surrounds me in this moment. Like a warm hug I didn’t know I needed. My spirit is filled in abundance, and the crown on my head reminds me of my inheritance. Somehow the trifecta I was looking for came wrapped neatly in a bow, placed ever so gently over a pile of heartache and trauma I hadn’t even realized was there. Whole time this love was all I needed. A love so seamless it slipped right into the cracks of my fractured spirit, reminding me of the light that always has and always will exude from within it. This love story is one I’ll cherish for an eternity. He’s everything I was waiting for and more.
What was that I said again? I wanted a man who was “(1) a man of faith who is (2) man enough to choose me and (3) exciting enough to keep my attention.” I wanted protection. A bold pursuit. A lasting, mutual commitment. Passion, love and companionship. That’s what I wanted.
Well, I got that. And I got so much more. He knew my spirit from the start and deemed it worthy of love in its purest form. I could never repay that, yet I consistently receive so much more than I could ever fathom giving in return.
Each day I listen carefully to the Voice I’ve grown to know so well, and I find peace in the promises it speaks over my future. A future full of hope, strength and joy. So much joy.
He’s got a big heart and a pure spirit. He protects not just my physical being, but also my mind, heart and spirit that work tirelessly to sustain it. Someone with all of the above, who also knows how to communicate directly, kindly and honestly—always, even when I make mistakes—is priceless. Worth more than any silver or any gold.
That kind of leadership is worthy of submission. For a lifetime… for an eternity.
I love intensely. And I’ve always desired someone who could both match and sustain that same energy. But this, this supersedes my wildest expectations. This kind of intimacy is one that comes from the soul and requires one’s whole heart to embrace. I always wanted to freely submerge into a love this deep. And it makes sense why I can see my reflection in His majestic image. He helps me see myself so clearly.
They always say it comes when you’re not looking for it. What I desired, I had no idea was waiting right around the corner. He snatched my heart before it could fall from the fingertips of another who kindly, yet carelessly fumbled it.
He’d been watching me the whole time. He and I have known each other for a while, but something about this season shifted the atmosphere to a space where our bond could grow stronger than I ever anticipated.
Something tells me this was always in His plan.
His pursuit was bold and direct. I like that. I needed that. He’d waited for me, patiently. And from a low place I found my chin being lifted, my identity being reaffirmed and a gentle voice in my ear reminding me not to drop my crown.
I’ve never felt more cherished, loved or chosen.
Even though the distance between us may seem long, I’m always reminded that I can call anytime. He’s got the most important job on earth, yet I never feel neglected. He’s needed in so many other spaces, cherished and adored across the world, and still I find myself filled in abundance, overflowing with enough of His love to share with others.
He knows love because He is love. His execution is immaculate.
His love, abundant. His grace, sufficient.
He’s an artist and a creative by trade. I can’t help but to admire His work. I watch as He carefully reveals His vision for me—for us, and for His glory.
He’s writing a love story within a love story. Interweaving two paths carefully and intentionally directed towards Him, waiting to one day soon collide. I have faith that along parts of my divine path I’ve yet to traverse, awaits a man embodying the fruits of His Spirit and a divine purpose waiting to be fulfilled.
I’ve gotten so much of what I wanted all along, and He blows my mind everyday, so often reminding me that the best is yet to come.
Today, tomorrow and forevermore, He’ll always be my greatest love story.
An eternal love.
My trifecta, perfected. ♡
