Worth the Wait
I have waited many years to be married. I am a woman, who by God's grace has been able to remain pure. I desire only to make love with my husband one day, and to satisfy him and be satisfied by him. I desire to serve him and submit to him and love him. I want to meet all of his needs well. At times, it has been hard following this path of chastity.
At times, there has been great passion and hormones and I've *yearned* for him, wherever he is. But God continues to sustain me and renew my patience. I know that one day when God performs it, it will be well worth the wait! I do not want to give him half of me or part of me. I don't want to give him a gift that has already been opened or had some of the ribbons untied by another man of my youth. I don't want to give him a heart or mind that has been overtaken by lust and fleshly pleasures or heart adultery. I do not want to shame him by sleeping with another woman's husband in my mind, or kissing another woman's husband on the lips who may now be unmarried, but will not be the one who God ultimately chooses for me.
I want to bring him honor in all things, even in my unmarried, chaste state. I want to present all of me to him one day, as a chaste virgin in white purity. This is a symbol of Christ and His Church. Too many in the Church do not take it seriously and are living as the world.
