Hi,
I’ve come to understand that every young girl dreams of a ‘perfect’ wedding more than any other thing in her life. The sheer suspense of whom it will be that she will spend her entire life with fills her fantasies. She will often spend hours wondering who she will dance with on her wedding day, laugh with when she’s happy, cry to when she’s sad and shout at when she’s angry.
Being totally aware of how imperfect the world is, every girl stills dreams of a ‘perfect’ man. And surprisingly, ‘perfect’ here doesn’t mean financially sound, academically brilliant or physically charming. It simply means someone who loves her unconditionally. Very clichéd, but absolutely true. Every girl, no matter what race, what colour, what nationality or culture; wants to be loved.
Is this why young girls are taken advantage of everyday in this world? Is this why they are robbed of their innocence every minute? Even as I write this mail some girl some where is being raped, molested or sexually assaulted. Scary but true.
I have a message today for young girls. Not for their offenders. Not for people who walk into their lives, make them feel loved for a while and walk out. Not for those who mislead them. Just for the girls.
Jesus loves you. Just as you are. Unconditionally. He cares. If He would want to pick anyone from this earth to spend eternity with, it would be you. He knows how like being loved. He knows what you looks good on you. He knows when to speak to you and tell you just what you want to hear. He knows you like being held more than anything else in the world. He loves you.
Let’s not ignore such great love for what might seem tangible and momentary.
“For your Maker is your Husband, the Lord Almighty is His name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer- He is called the God of all the earth.” Isaiah 54:5
“I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and in justice, in love and in compassion.” Hosea 2:19
“Therefore now I am going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her….In that day, you will call me ‘my Husband’; you will no longer call me ‘my Master’. Hosea 2: 14:16
I didn’t intend for this to be a chain mail thing but please pass this on to as many young girls as possible- sisters, cousins, daughters, friends, mates, etc. There may be people you know who are going through the toughest of things like abuse and emotional harassment that you never know of. It’s not something that can be detected. Do it for someone who needs it.
God bless you.
Love,
Becky.
