We had just finished watching Rapunzel and I looked over to see Eva Kate's glowing face. Her eyes were focused on the screen and glued to the princesses' every move. But it wasn't until the prince kissed the princess, that Eva Kate turned to me and giggled. Her cheeks were red and her heart was fluttering. I for one, have seen all the princess movies and I wouldn't lie and tell you my heart doesn't do the same thing. But watching her swoon over the love story opened my eyes and pulled me into a conversation with God Himself.
"I love you that way." I could hear Him say. "Tell her that I love her that way."
So I did. After the movie was over I pulled Eva Kate aside and braided her hair to end her begging. I promised to help her pick flowers to put in it as soon as I told her something super important. When I told her, her eyes lit up just as they had when the prince pulled the princess close underneath the lantern lit sky.
Do you know how exciting it is to tell a child that she is loved by The King? Do you know how beautiful it is to see her excitement when you tell her she's a real life princess? Do you know how reassuring it is to beg her to wait for a man who loves her the way The king loves her heart for simply existing? And then do you know how humbling it is to watch her run off and play, realizing I'm a princess too? When did I forget that? When did I start settling for less than what My King urges me to wait for?
Even tonight I'm sitting here wondering what and who God has for me. The exciting thing is that I know for a fact, because He promises that whatever and whoever it is, it's gonna be good! Oh, how sweet it is to know that our God has never and will never break a promise. His promises are true and His love never fails. Wait for the man who knows that pursues you with the same type of love. The type of man who could never imagine breaking a promise to you because God would never break a promise to you. Wait for a man who sharpens himself to look more and more like Jesus every day.
Wait, girls. Wait for it.
