God's Plan for My Life

My mom gave me this poem. I fell in love with the the beauty and simplicity of the words.

God's Plan for My Life

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone-

to have a deep soul relationship with another

To be loved exclusively and thoroughly...
But God, to a Christian says,
No,
Not until you're satisfied and content
With being loved by me alone.
I loved you, my child;
And until you discover that only in
Me is your satisfaction to be found,
You will never be united with another
Until you are united with Me-
Exclusive of any other desires or longings.
I want you to stop planning...
Stop wishing...
Allow me to bring it to you....
Just keep watching Me
Keep experiencing that satisfaction
Knowing that I AM.
Keep learning,
And listening to the things I tell you.
You must wait.
Don't be anxious.
Don't look at the things you think you want.
You must keep looking off and away,
Up to Me
Or you'll miss what I have to show you.
And then, when you are ready
I'll surprise you with love
Far more wonderful
Than any would ever dream.
You see, until you are ready
And until the one I have for you is ready
I am working even this moment to have you both ready
at the same time.
Until you are satisfied exclusively with
Me and the life I have prepared for you,
You won't be able to experience the love
That exemplifies
Your relationship with Me...
And this is the perfect love.
