Bonus Post - Reflecting Forward

I already said I wasn't a resolutions type person - it just so happens that through a lot of personal, internal reflection the past month or so along with some signs that might have well been billboards (though no "turn here" type directions have been given), and another - "oh, that's why I don't do online dating" reality check (at least no physical time was taken this round).....I wanted to post a poem I came across from a long time ago (unknown author) for those out there who are comfortable yet still uncomfortable:

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone
To have a deep soul relationship with another
To be loved thoroughly and exclusively
But God, to a Christian says -
"No, not until you're satisfied, fulfilled, and content
With being loved by Me alone -
With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me-
With having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me
Alone-
Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found
Will you be capable of the perfect human relationship
That I have planned for you
You will never be united with another until you are united with Me
I want you to stop planning, stop wishing
And allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing-
One that you you cannot imagine
I want you to have the best
Please allow me to bring it to you
You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things -
keep experienceing the satisfaction that I am
Keep listening and learning the things I tell you
You just wait. That's all.
Don't be anxious
Don't worry
Don't look around at the things others have gotten
Or at what I've given them
Don't look around at the things you think you want
You just keep looking off and away up to Me
Or you'll miss what I want to show you
And then, when you're ready
I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any
You would ever dream of
You see, until you're ready, until the one I have for you is ready
(I am working at this moment to have both of you ready at the same time)
Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me
And the life I have prepared for you
You won't be able to experience the love that
Exemplifies your relationship with Me...
And this is perfect love.
And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love
I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me
And to enjoy materially and concretely
The everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love
That I offer you with Myself
Know that I love you
I am God, believe it and be satisfied."

I hope this can help some of you if you are feeling the dull thud of loneliness, wanting, waiting, wishing. This actually has helped me make some movements in my life that have nothing to do with finding a mate but propelling me forward in what my plan and path is - even though I may feel I am as blind as a bat!
