We’re all guilty of it. It’s something in the back of our minds a lot of the time.

The guy who will hold us when we’re upset and accompany us when we’re lonely. The guy who will love us to the ends of the Earth, with all they have within them. The guy who will take you on extravagant adventures and fulfill all of your dreams. The guy who will carry your burdens with you to lighten the load. The guy who will fill your heart with unimaginable joy.

The guy who’s accountable, responsible, and kind. The guy with the smarts and wisdom to help you raise your kids just how you’d want. The guy with an indescribable compassion for life and people. The guy who knows and understands you more than you know you know and understand yourself. A guy with a sense of humor, but still a guy with empathy. A guy who would die for you. The perfect guy.

Oddly enough, that exists. I even know a guy.

This guy is literally perfect in every way. He is elegance and grace and wisdom. This guy is the very definition of absolutely selfless love. He puts others first always and always has your best interests at heart. He won’t take you anywhere that isn’t good for you and that won’t lead to better things. He’ll take you out on adventures you couldn’t imagine-- it’s like getting on a rollercoaster ride that never ends. Each worry in your head is put to rest and reassured every time. Each burden is no longer your to bare. He wants and loves you more than any other person could ever.

He would drop anything in a moment for you if you were having a rough day. He’s also an excellent listener-- I swear I’ve talked for hours on end before about the dumbest things. He literally wants nothing in return from you other than a relationship. Insane right? He’s kind of overlooked sometimes though, which makes me sad. He’s truly a pleasure to me and helpful to my heart, so I wish everyone knew.

His name? I thought you’d never ask.

He is God, my love. He wants you more than anything else on the planet. He led a flawless life full of nothing but love for even those who betrayed Him or didn’t believe in Him. He will listen to your cries for help and your rants for HOURS without hesitation, without growing bored. He’ll take you places you can’t imagine experiencing things you couldn’t fathom. He will reassure you that you are beautiful, you are kind, you are smart, your feelings are valid, you are worth it, and you are endlessly and unconditionally loved.

If you go to Him, He will not only help you carry your burdens, but He will take them from you entirely. He would undoubtedly die for you, and He DID die for you. He has your best interests at heart and will never lead your feet into a place that won’t help you.

From experience, I know this. I let my fears control me, even when He told me not to be afraid (365 times, one for each day, I might add). For example, I once was afraid of drowning, especially in regards to the ocean. It was a small fear, not overpowering, but there. On a vacation, it seemed that people were losing their lives to riptides –– one the day before my event. The next day, I got caught in a riptide, imagining only the worst outcome as the waves crashed over me and I started growing tired of fighting.

Yet, just as I felt like that was it, the current brought me back around and into shore, virtually unscathed. He showed me I am always safe with Him, and I should never be afraid. God has put me through situations that I thought I was incapable of even going through the beginning stages of. He helps me grow, learn, and love. The love is incomparable to any Earthly thing.

All in all, this is something you’ll have to experience for yourself. He only wants a relationship with you. He only wants YOU. Run to Him. Embrace Him. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
