I choose to wear a True Love Waits ring on my left ring finger, my wedding finger. It represents the promise I made to God. I promised Him that I would wait until marriage to "go all the way" with the man God has for me.
But, more importantly, it represents the promise I made to God that I would be married to Him always. When the man God has for me comes along, he'll have to ask for God's permission to marry me, because I am already married to God.
Well, I was just looking at my ring and thinking. I've always just thought True Love meant that the guy for me would respect me and my relationship with God and also himself and his relationship with God to wait until we are married. But I just realized, it's soooo much deeper than that.
Ya see, following Jesus is NOT a religion. It is an alive and active relationship full of love and out of love because God is love. I have nothing to offer, but He loves me anyway. Whenever I make a mistake, He is not disappointed with me, because I belong to Him and I am His daughter. Lamentations 3 verse 24 says this: I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Nothing else in this world can satisfy the body, the mind, or the spirit, but God. He is our portion. Because I am in a relationship with God and He is love, this is True Love. I will wait for Him, because He waits for me. True Love Waits.
