I do not know you. I have never seen your face and have never heard your voice. But you are present somewhere in the distance of my heart. You have always had a place in my mind and in the depths of my heart. I have prayed for you from a very young age. I have prayed also that I would be shaped and formed into the woman that you deserve, a woman of God, strong brave and upright. I have prayed for your safety in the midst of danger. I have prayed that you would have strength in the midst of temptation. I have prayed for your strength in prayer, the sincerity of your heart and the pureness of your soul. I don’t know your name; we have not yet met. But I know that I will know your face when I see it and recognize your voice in my heart when I hear it. For I have asked God for these things and I know that in His mercy and goodness, He will answer me. Though I have fallen so many times and many times my heart has been crushed, I continue to arise with the hope, faith and knowledge in you and in my God. May God bless you and keep you until one day our hearts and souls are joined.
All my love,
~Your future bride~
With every tear and heartache, I know more and more that you are there. Even though time and space separate us, my heart is only yours. Many times I have thought that I had found you. The devil has done everything in his power to distract me in my journey to find true and lasting love. But even in the midst of all the suffering and trials that Tobias endured to find his soulmate Sarah in the book of Tobit, I take comfort and consolation in my small defeats because I know that God one day reign in our love once and for all. Once we first join our hands, so our hearts will be too. No matter what happens in our life, no force on earth and no trick from the devil will ever be able to break the sacred bond which God Himself has joined together. “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” (Mark 10:9) May God protect you and in His time, join our hearts forever, never to be parted.
With love,
~Your future bride~
I write not necessarily because I believe in you with my heart, but because with my will I have to believe in you. The heart can be deceived and swayed yet the will is strong and can remain constant. In order for me to believe in my unseen and intangible God, I must therefore believe that in His time and His love, He will bring us to each other. I cannot say that I know much about love because any love that I have felt has been unrequited. Yet I know enough about Christ’s love for me to know what true love should feel like. The type of love that lasts in to eternity is a love worth waiting for. For one man to see into my heart the great love I have to give, and to know that nowhere else in this world will he find a heart like that. The flesh decays and eventually fades off but the heart and soul remain the same. I pray that in this time we are apart, that God will shape me into the woman fit for you and that God will shape you into the man that is worthy of me. May God bless you and keep you close until we one day meet.
With love,
~Your future bride~
Many times I thought for sure that I had found you. Yet part of hard, strong and steadfast discernment is to find who is of God and who is not. God would not place a love in my heart that is so strong, constant, as deep as the ocean, if it were to have no purpose. Part of loving well is to hurt deeply. When we love hard, we hurt just as hard. My heart has endured so much but I will continue to withstand the storm in order to one day come to you. Meeting face to face and knowing that God has blessed this union, will be worth the wait. You are worth waiting for and before I have known you, I’ve loved you.
~Your future bride~
It has been so long since I have written to you. I turned my face from you as I did with God. The two people that would love me the most in the world, I turned away from because I was afraid of disappointing both of you. It’s fantastic when you can find one person in your life who loves you for all of you, all the good and all the bad and all your flaws, mistakes and failures. I have found that unconditional love with God. Now I yearn to find it in you. God once said “It is not good for man to be alone. So He created a ‘suitable’ partner.” I am searching for my suitable partner for life. Just as I want him to choose me, to want me and no one else, as God Himself looks for me and is satisfied just with me and would give His all for me on the cross, again, so too our union of love must be. This is the love of God. Christ sees us wholly and singly. Is there a man that can love me the same? Someone who will love me so much that he will want to create life with me.God does the same for us His children. He loved us so much before our existence, that He wills us into existence. One day our love will be so strong, that Christ who brought us together, will keep us together and give us a new life in each other as one heart and two in one flesh, all to create life out of love, to love and for love, for His glory and honor. First and foremost, to Him my heart will forever be. You must search deep within him in order to one day find me. May God bless you…

Far beyond all dreams and aspirations in life, besides being joined with God forever in Heaven, I desire to give myself fully: body, soul, mind and heart to one man. I have waited for you in every way, all my life. I have been through patient times and impatient times, through tears and sadness, through the frustrations of the ups and downs and have endured every disappointment. But these experiences will not disappear with marriage. They will only be better remedied when I can face everything in life with you. There will be joy and sadness, tears and laughter, sickness and health, bad times and good times, blessings and disappointments. I know that every joy and trial in life will be better because we’ll face everything together. I can’t wait to face the unknown of every day with you. I pray that you pray for me and think of me as I think and pray for you. May God bless you and guide you in every joy and every trial that you may experience until we someday meet. You have all my love and support, even now.
With love,
~Your future bride~
