Every day we are given treasures from the Lord, but I was giddy about this one today.
The back story...
Back in December, I had a few days away with the Lord and felt that God was leading me to write down a list (with the help of my favorite movie) of what I wanted in a husband. I know it sounds crazy to base a list off of a movie, but I knew there was something special about this movie and a reason that it kept drawing my attention. The list I came up with was a list that I felt was entirely from God but holding it with an open hand and trusting that God knows who I need. Along with the list, I also decided to write down the things I wanted to be as a wife. Both the husband and wife lists lined up with scripture so I knew I was on the right track.
Since then, I have referred to the lists several times encouraging a few girls to sit down and pray about what God would have for them in a future husband AND as a future wife. I finally decided I needed to copy it and put it in my Bible so I didn't have to carry my old journal around everywhere.
I copied the pages and today I got around to cutting them out. As I looked at the pages, I noticed that there were a few verses at the bottom of the page that I had not noticed before (it was part of the journal). They were:
2 Corinthians 5:11
"God knows our hearts"
Ephesians 1:8
"He understands us and knows what is best for us."
I sat in amazement as I read them today. How great God is...especially regarding my future husband and me as a future wife. He does "know my heart" and "He understands me and knows what is best for me." This is just another way that He has shown me that He is the "God who sees me" (Here is the link to the entry that I wrote about this).
I set out for today not knowing what would come but I got more than I ever asked for. Although my life is somewhat confusing right now, I have a heavenly Father and friend who knows me and cares for me better than anyone else could. I am so thankful for this little treasure (which was a "BIG" treasure to me) today.
