Hello Everyone,
I got the idea to write some encouragement to that special person which I've never even met or know. If others are interested you may do the same, I would take this time to search the scriptures and honestly ponder what you would tell someone during a period of time when neither of you know each other and are seeking God so that you may find him or her which is hidden so well in Him.
Okay... here goes...

Dear Future Wife:
This is not a random love letter. While I do not know you personally while I write this, I wanted to tell you how much I have thought about you and what you might be like in light of scripture. Knowing that you are already born again through Jesus Christ - It is my heart to give you encouragement on your Christian walk until the day we meet.
Indeed - Who can find a virtuous woman? Proverbs 31:10-31 describes your characteristics. I have met several people in my short life time on earth already which have fallen short of this description - because their mouth did not speak wisdom and their beauty was vain. They proclaimed Christianity, but with time they fell away from the faith and their tree failed to bring forth good fruit (John 15).
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. - Galatians 5:19-24
May you continue reading the scriptures regularly (Acts 17:11) and strive to do everything which is written in therein (Joshua 1:8). For the time will come when you will need to stand up for your faith. Do not compromise.
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. - 2 Timothy 4:2-4
Many will try to cast doubt on your faith and the Bible. Do not doubt God's inspired Word - for without a solid foundation there is nothing to turn to in a world of secular relativism. The bible is absolute.
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. - 2 Timothy 12-17
I pray it is not too late and that you will continue to abstain from sexual immorality (What Does the Bible Say About Abstinence?). From Hollywood to MTV the perversions in this generation abound and try to sway our mind to diverse lusts. But you are set apart (What Does the Bible Say About Being Set Apart?).
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. - 1 John 16:17
Do not give into the provocative fashion trends. True beauty is from the heart..
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. - 1 Timothy 2:9-10
Think on good things that you may keep your heart and mind.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. - Philippians 4:7-8
Please remember the true meaning of Love...
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (NKJV)
Together, our house will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15). I pray that some day we will cross paths, but until that day we must not our Love for the Lord grow cold - we must endure to the end!
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. - Matthew 24:12-13
Love God First. Share the Gospel.
I will wait for you. I ask you only do the same for me.
With all my heart, <3
Your Friend In Christ ✝
