My Prayer Is That He Grows

I'm going to let you in on a secret...

I met a guy a few weeks ago. Long story short, he's basically the living image of what I have always thought would be the "perfect man" for me. There's just one thing that he needs before I could ever enter in a relationship with him--God.

He has a lot of growing to do, of that I am certain. Right now, I just feel so blessed to have even met him. I know that God has placed me in his life for a reason, and that is to be a messenger to him. Even if this never goes beyond friendship, I will still be satisfied in knowing that I'm doing the right thing in helping him grow closer to God.

But man... seriously... this guy must be truly amazing beyond what I see because every time I begin to pray for him I can hardly get the words out... As soon as begin the prayer, I immediately feel immersed in the presence of God and I just start crying. I can't even say his name in the prayer without sobbing. God must have great plans for him! I can feel my heart broken with the joy of just having God show me how much He cares for this young man and all the amazing things He has in store for him. I don't know what it is... but I think God has great plans for him!

I'm feeling a little discouraged in the fact that I cannot really express all this to him. I feel like God is giving me so much encouragement to share with him... The difficulty is that he's currently fighting in the war overseas. All I can do is write letters and pray that they make it to him.

Dear God, use me. Give me the words to write. Give me the words You want him to hear. Lord, guide me and give me wisdom in this situation... And help me to gaurd my heart until it is time to give it away...
