the perfect gentleman

Well, I've found him. I have the most perfect gentleman. As Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, I hear from women all over the place that I am so lucky that I have found a great Christian man. Yes, I have found him and he has found me. But that's not what I'm talking about. While we're trying to plan the rest of our lives together, the marriage, and the big party to celebrate, the wedding, it's easy to lose focus of my first true love, my one and only true, true love. His love is perfect. His love is kind. He is not envious. He does not boast, and is not proud. He is not rude, nor self-seeking. He does not easily anger, nor keep records of all the many things I've done wrong. My gentleman does not delight in evil or pain, but is super excited about truth, and love, and everything truly good for us. My gentleman protects me physically as well as emotionally, trusts me even through the worst times, hopes for the best future, and never gives up on me. (1 Corinthians 13). My gentleman always craves to spend time with me. He wants to shower me with love, affection, give me gifts, and do acts of service. He walks on clouds for me, builds mountains and breaks oceans for me. He always shows up when I need him, and waits when I feel like I don't need him. I see him everywhere, in everything that is good, perfect, peaceful, and joyful. I see him when suffering and when ecstatic. I can share him, and sometimes ask him to be with my friends, and still I know he loves me the most. My perfect gentleman is the son of my God, He saved my life, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life. Happy Valentine's Day, my true love, my Jesus :D
