Dear God,
Thank you for my husband. Thank you because you made him just the way he is and also I believe you made him for me. You are our maker, our engineer, our designer. You made us from every strand of hair to every freckle on our face. I look at everything you have created my Lord and I stare in awe. I met this very man, my husband and I am even more amazed at what you have done.
Growing up, I didn't have the best experiences with males. I was raised by a single mother who did her very best at giving three kids what they needed. Although she did her best there were of course, things we still needed to be taught. Especially as young girls. I could go on and on about why I lacked this very important characteristic, self respect.
I didn't understand a lot of things as a young woman. I certainly didn't understand why, I wanted to be loved so badly by the opposite gender. I craved, I yearned for affection.
As a 25 year old woman, I have now understood why. Wishing I could take back those actions and feelings I felt as a young woman. Under your word I have felt and lived with shame, and also asked for forgiveness and repented. I still felt/carried the shame for a while.
1 Peter 5:10
10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
What I felt once being restored and strengthened, truly I was established. Learning what being a respectable woman felt like was and is a feeling I never want to live without, nor would I ever wish my daughters to live and feel.
This man, the man I married. See's my heart. He sees who I am and doesn't see my mistakes, and I he. My marriage isn't perfect but to me, it is everything I have ever wanted. The affection I craved for so long. The love I had always wanted. The beauty of this love is that, you my Lord saw everything I wanted... yet you gave me EVERYTHING I NEEDED. Which was way more than I could have asked for.
Thank you GOD for my wonderful husband. May you bless our marriage, till death do us apart! May we continue to put you first in our marriage and may our home, children and loved ones always be blessed as well!
Thank you infinitely, for your love and the loved you've blessed me with.
