Thank you for truly waiting for us.  Thank you for pursuing the Lord in such a way that you don’t just wait to be fed, but you instead hunger after the truth of His presence and feed yourself His rare treasures from the resources around you and His Word.  Thank you for surrounding yourself around other ladies who sharpen themselves around the same truths that you do.  We look into the eyes of your closest friends and see the very face and heart of the Lord.  Thank you for how you conduct yourself around other men, oh thank you.  Thank you for replacing that love with a love for the Lord as if He were the true lover and identity of your soul, not us or any guy around you.  Thank you for praying for us.  Thank you for placing your heart so deep in the heart of the Lord, that we have to search His heart to find yours.  Why?  Because He has slowly been revealing to us who you are, before we even meet you.  Stay strong, our brides, for just as you are waiting for us, we’re patiently waiting for you.  You’re not alone.
