God, Your FIRST Husband

The amazing thing about God, our Heavenly Father, is His love for us. Years ago, when I first came to the Lord, I desired to be married. I wanted to be married because I was a young single mother and I desired a father for my son. I cried out to the Lord and truly asked him for a husband. Minutes later, I heard him say so clearly, "I will never allow a natural man to out do me". Being young in the Lord, I needed to sit with those words for a while because I didn't understand what He was saying right away. As I allowed those words to marinate in my heart, I realized what the Lord was saying to me that day.

The thing that I desire to shout from the mountain top to all of the unmarried women of God is that the Lord is our FIRST Husband. We must know His love FIRST before we can appreciate the Love of a man. How do we do this? By having a relationship with Him. It's one thing to talk to Him everyday (and that's a very good thing to do), but it's another thing to sit quietly and read His thoughts about you in His Word (the Bible). Our Heavenly Father desires for us to experience His provision for us; to experience His touch when we are discouraged; to experince our hearts to "pitter-patter" for Him before it does that for a natural man. Think about it, how will we recognize TRUE LOVE unless we Know love itself? God is Love.

We have entered into a BRAND NEW year...a new decade. I have heard the Lord say that He is waiting for His people to make Him their priority. We have cried out to God for husbands...we have been waiting by the "window" of life for THE MAN to find us...we have been charading ourselves around so we will be noticed...but I'm here to tell you that to have GOD'S BEST, God's Woman needs to know Him as her First Husband because God's best comes from God himself. When you seek the Lord FIRST...everything else you need will be added to you. Once again, God will NEVER allow a natural man to out do Him...can you trust Him to be your everything? I promise you that when you take the FIRST step towards Him and pour out your heart to Him, He will meet you. He will cause your heart to desire Him more than anything in life. He will cause your heart to settle in Him, until...
