My Gift

I don’t know that he realizes how much I truly love and appreciate him, as I don’t always behave as if I do… My past is littered with unfaithful partners, untruthfulness and unfulfilled promises that have lead to fallen relationships and broken hearts (namely mine). Because of this a wall has built up around my once trusting self, and it has been difficult to undo the damage caused by past hurts…and he is the one who pays the price.

Yet he is patient with me…

Having never experienced this true happiness, it is often difficult to accept at face value... But when I am untrusting, he vows his faithfulness always. When fears of abandonment surface, he promises he’s “not going anywhere.” And when memories of the past cause me to doubt, he continues to love me through my pain…

He is…quite simply…amazing.

I have never in my life felt so beautiful, so adored, so loved…Throughout the years I have dreamed of, prayed for and asked God to bring this man into my life…At times I wondered if it would ever happen, but in His great timing, He waited for the right moment…the right man…and He blessed me with the most precious person he could have placed in my life…

And I will cherish him forever…
