Wait For The One Who Prays For You

Love is not a chase, not a race, not something to grasp with restless hands.

I seen people settle for less than what they should, compromise what they love doing and what is imoportant to them just to satisfy the other person.

But love - true love - does not force itself into the wrong spaces.

Wait for the one who prays for you. Not just in moments of ease, but in the storm when the night is long, when silence fills the spaces where the words used to be.

Wait for the one who lifts you up, not just with their hands but with their heart, one who prays with you through the ups and the downs; one who has God in the center of everything.

Love should never be a war between who you are and who they wish you would be. It should feel like peace, like purpose, like standing in the light after too many years in the dark.

Don't chase after someone who doesn't follow God wholeheartedly. Do not fall for hands that do not know how to fold in prayer.

Wait for one who walks beside you, not ahead, not behind. But hand-in-hand pressing forward in faith.

One whose love does not waver when things get hard, who speaks truth even when its difficult, who see's your worth through God's eyes, and not just their own.

A love that honors God will never ask you to shrink, never ask you to compromise what you love or what's important to you and never to pull you away from the Father who created you in His very own image.

Love is not meant to be a battlefield, where you lose yourself in the fight.

It is a place where you grow, where you flourish, where two souls become stronger together, not weaker apart.

You are worth more than rushed affection, more than shallow devotion.

God writes the best love stories - trust Him with yours.

Let Him be your author, not the afterthought.

What He has written for you is far greater than what you could ever write for yourself.
