			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know who you are. We may have already met, or we may have never seen each other. I used to be afraid of you. I used to think you would place unattainable expectations on me and try to turn me into someone I&#8217;m not. But I know now that&#8217;s not what you want.</p>
<p>Maybe I&#8217;m different from most guys. I realize you&#8217;re not supermodel hot. But I don&#8217;t want you to be. You&#8217;re beautiful because you&#8217;re buried so deeply inside our Father&#8217;s heart. You&#8217;re captivating because you&#8217;re captivated by God.</p>
<p>Your soft smile and gentle touch will be enough to send me to the stars. And your strong, silent support of who I am as a man will empower me, strengthen me, and energize me in ways nothing else can. I won&#8217;t ask that you always agree with me, but I will ask that you trust my intention to always seek your best interest. My methods may be wrong, and I may never understand you, but please be patient. I&#8217;m trying so hard.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t promise that I&#8217;ll be your knight in shining armor, but I can promise that I&#8217;ll protect you from the dangers and hurts of our world. I&#8217;ll give my life to ensure your safety, security, and joy.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;ll listen. I&#8217;ll sit still and just hear what you have to say. My natural inclination is to spring into action and fix the problem, but I&#8217;ll deny that and just be an ear to talk to and a shoulder to lean on.</p>
<p>I know you&#8217;ll want an adventure. An endless adventure where we&#8217;ll explore the depth of our Savior&#8217;s heart and the intensity of his love. I&#8217;ll take you there. I may not have the money or ability to take you to beautiful European countries or to see breathtaking natural wonders. But I can promise you that I&#8217;ll take your hand as we discover the love that God has for us.</p>
<p>My love for you will be flawed and weak, so I won&#8217;t pour it directly on you. I&#8217;ll pour my love on our God, and he will amplify it and rain it down on you.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m ready to share my life with someone else right now. But after I find you, I know I won&#8217;t be able to imagine facing the challenges of life without you by my side.</p>
<p>Listen for my voice. I&#8217;m calling out to you. And I love you.</p>
