God's Perfect Gift

A dear godly woman in my life recently visited here and sent me some very encouraging emails. Below is part of one of those emails, which she has given permission for me to share. I believe this is a message not only for me but for other women as well. I pray it will speak to others as it did to me and healing will come because of it.

My husband and yours are not 'outsiders' in their marriage. They're not some picture we fell in love with and took home, only to find that it clashed with everything else in our home. It's not like they're a piece in the puzzle of our life that we're putting together that doesn't fit. They don't need to have 'the edges knocked off' to fit. They are, at this point and place in time what God meant them to be and they were always meant for us. They are God's gift to us, in more ways than I think we'll ever know in this lifetime.

It's so easy to almost feel like we made a mistake to fall for them, but that God will 'work it out' in spite of our mistake and love for them. No, I believe we 'NEED' them in the plan God has for our life......his plan to help us become EXACTLY what he wants us to be. They were, are and always will be that 'better' part of US......that perfect and precious GIFT straight from God's heart to ours. We would never be who God wants us to be without them to complete us.

Not only that......we complete them. God has a plan for them too....and we have the privilege to be in on that...God gave us to them as a gift....it was not a mistake that they fell in love with us.

God's plan is perfect and so is his timing. He doesn't make mistakes. He gave you and I a 'perfect gift' as a part of GOD'S plan. No mistake, no outsider, not second-best.......GOD'S PERFECT GIFT.
