My story is made up of many love letters written from my heart to God\u2019s heart and from His to mine.\u00a0 I open up to Him with a pen in my hand and a journal in my lap.\u00a0 The Lord speaks to me through my writings and I am beyond excited to share with you bits and pieces of different letters I have from God.\u00a0 I share parts of my story so that God\u2019s love, power, grace, forgiveness, and perfectness may be showcased.\u00a0 As you read, I pray the Lord grabs a hold of your heart and fills you with hope!<\/i><\/p>\n
GOD,<\/p>\n
Why is it that I still have no one to hold my hand through this life?\u00a0 I don\u2019t have any idea how I am going to have that family I have always desired so strongly to have with no husband in sight.\u00a0 I know the truth that You are all I need…that You hold me by Your right hand.\u00a0 I know that You will give me the desires of my heart.\u00a0 I do not mean to sound ungrateful for these promises because I most certainly am NOT.\u00a0 In fact, these promises have dried my tears on several occasions.\u00a0 But there are several more occasions, God.\u00a0 More occasions where I may know the truth but my dateless nights and single looking future have me believing otherwise.\u00a0 How do I do it, Lord?\u00a0 How do I constantly find hope and comfort and satisfaction in You alone and not in my desire to have a husband one day?\u00a0 Please, Lord; open my heart to the truth You have prepared for me.\u00a0 I so desperately need to hear from You.<\/p>\n
Love,<\/p>\n

Dear One,<\/p>\n
Your honesty is what I have been waiting for.\u00a0 I was waiting for you to admit to yourself, and to Me that you put your ideals over My plans for you.\u00a0 Until you give up control of your non-existent love life, I simply cannot work in your life to bring you My love.\u00a0 I will bring you another love, the love of the man I have hand-picked just for you to hold your hand one day.\u00a0 BUT, first you must accept My love in your life.\u00a0 I know you have accepted me into your heart.\u00a0 I know you have written down those truths and promises that I have given you in the past all over your bedroom and bathroom mirror.\u00a0 I know you have stored them up in your house, but what does your heart look like?\u00a0 Are they there, too, when you need them the most?\u00a0 On a snowy night when all you want to do is cuddle up with a man and watch a movie, do you reach into your heart for My promise to be the one to comfort you when you are all alone on that snowy night; or do you reach to your phone to contact that not-so-good-for-you guy that you are willing to settle for if these lonely nights continue much longer.\u00a0 The thing you are learning is when you choose Me over everything that tempts you so much as a single woman in this world, that is when I will make those promises shine through your life.\u00a0 Surely then, you will feel them!\u00a0 I will bring you comfort and you will grow even closer to Me!\u00a0 There is nothing wrong with you because you are single.\u00a0 You are single because I am still molding you into the princess I have created you to be.\u00a0 There will be a man one day, someone who spots you out of a crowd because he sees that you are living a life reflective of what is in your heart.\u00a0 Don\u2019t waste these moments and miss out on a chance to fill your heart with My blessings from above—the very thing your husband desires to see.\u00a0 There will never be a man who will replace what I am for you.\u00a0 There will only be a man who will add to the beauty and love I have given you.\u00a0 When you become discouraged, reach out your hand to Me; I promise I will always grab on\u00a0and comfort you no matter what the pain is you may feel.<\/p>\n
Love Always,<\/p>\n
Your Knight in Shining Armor<\/p>\n

Heavenly Lord,<\/p>\n
Thank you for this time I have to grow closer to You.\u00a0 You have opened my eyes to something huge!\u00a0 I do not want a man to want me; I want a man to want what He sees through my heart: YOU<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0 I pray that I make the most of this single time to seek You.\u00a0 Show me Your ways, guide me in Your truth.\u00a0 Lord, I completely trust that when I get to my ‘aha!’ moment with You; the moment where I know and feel Your truth running through my soul, that is where I will be found in You-nothing else will matter.\u00a0 This single life is all about teaching me to get to that moment.\u00a0 No one else can bring me to that moment, not even a man.\u00a0 I know You are my only Hope in this lesson of learning to feel You more.\u00a0 I am sorry for sulking in this singleness.\u00a0 I choose from this moment forward to embrace the time I have to grow closer to You.\u00a0 Give me Your perfect strength to help me get through!\u00a0 Thank you , I love you!<\/p>\n Love, Your Princess in training<\/p>\n \u00a9Diane Meyers 2013<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Questions for Reflection:<\/p>\n My story is made up of many love letters written from my heart to God\u2019s heart and from His to mine.\u00a0 I open up to Him with a pen in my hand and a journal in my lap.\u00a0 The Lord speaks to me through my writings and I am beyond excited to share with you […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":8451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[20],"tags":[283,308,425,441,1796,744,879,2007],"class_list":["post-10279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-singles","tag-dating","tag-diane-meyers","tag-girlfriends-coffee-hour","tag-gods-love","tag-love-letters-from-god","tag-patience","tag-relationships","tag-single-life","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Love-Letters-from-God.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p39pHp-2FN","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10279"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10279\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10293,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10279\/revisions\/10293"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
