To those who have been waiting on God to reveal His arms in human form He is ever near.
As we revel in His embrace we find the love we ve been longing for and more.
Suddenly we find ourselves giving what we ve been searching for and getting it in return.
Acknowledgments
Perhaps I struggled with this writing because of what it demands-a willingness to embrace where you are while walking in expectancy of God s best for you. Not an easy thing, but when you do, the reward is so great. This is when God visits, pouring out all that He has. He is ever gracious, giving even when He does not receive and loving when He is not loved. He s ever patient in the face of our lack of trust. Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit-how I depend on You. Thank You for ignoring me when I fight You and for loving me in spite of myself. You are my everything.
To my wonderful Harvest House family. We continue the journey together, and it s all good. I love and appreciate you soooo much.
All my family and friends (you know who you are), thank you for putting up with me when I disappear into the black hole of writing. You re always here when I come out, and I am truly grateful!

About the Author
From My Heart to Yours
My dear sister,
God has given you all the ingredients for the best love story ever written. So don t wait for someone else to write it! In your personal love story, a ransom is paid for the life of the princess. The dragon is defeated, and the prince rises to glorious and loving power. There is great celebration and rejoicing! And that s just the beginning.
Your story will be filled with joy as your prince sings My banner over you is love and takes you to His Father s house for your wedding and the great wedding feast. You are not single after all! You are engaged and waiting for your divine Fianc to finish the preparations that are even now being carried out. He wants everything to be perfect for your arrival.
Until then, please allow God to perfect you into a delightful bride. And when you get weary of waiting for the marriage celebration, remember He is waiting too!
With love in Christ Jesus,
From the very start
there was only you
you alone before the distractions
the distractions of the lust of the eyes
the lust of the flesh
and the pride of life
before me
before it all
there was you
before serpents
and temptation
and beautiful gardens
before there was light
and sky
before the earth was released
from its watery grave
before there was man
before there was me
there was you
you longing for me
to love you
to worship you
to place nothing
before you
From the Beginning
