Dear Future Husband,
Lately, I've been thinking about God and how I am guilty of making Him into something that I can fathom and imagine. Something... more manageable and finite for my mind to be able to comprehend. But God was never meant to be understood or comprehended by our human minds. When we make Him into something smaller then we are neither giving Him the credit that He deserves nor acknowledging the power that He has.
So this week I've been praying for you and I that our current view of God would be expanded. I have even dared to pray "Lord, surprise us!" I am always scared to pray these kinds of prayers because God delights in answering them and revealing more of Himself to me. The thing is that they don't always come in a gentle way; they typically come to me as a big slap upside the head because, otherwise, I am usually too stubborn or too blind to see what God is trying to show me. But I felt the nudging of the Holy Spirit towards this particular prayer this week. So, rather reluctantly I must admit, I obeyed. I pray that He surprises you with the way in which He shows up in your life and that you would be constantly on the lookout for ways in which He is moving and revealing more of Himself to you. Also, I pray that both of us will be looking into God's Word for clues as to His character in order to find the correct view of God.
Forever and always faithfully yours,
Your Future Wife
