Ruth

Ini bukan kali pertama gue baca doa ini. Tapi ini adalah kali pertama gue menemukan nama penulis doa ini. Tepat disaat gue lagi baca-baca bahan PA Kitab Ruth buat KTB.
Maka jadilah gue orang kesekian juta yang re-post tulisan ini.

Lord,
I pray for a man, that will be a part of my life
A man that really loves You more than everything
A man that will put me in the second place of his heart
A man that lives not for himself but for You
The most important is
I want a heart that really loves and thirsty of You
And have a desire to be like Jesus

And he must know for whom and for what he lives
So his life is not useless
Someone that has a wise heart
Not only a smart brain
A man that not only loves me but also respect me
A man that not only adores me
But can warn me when I am wrong
A man that loves me not because of my beauty
But my heart
A man that can be my best friend in every time and situation
A man that make me feel like a woman
When I am beside him

I do not ask for a perfect man
But I ask for an imperfect man

A man that needs my support for his strength
A man that needs my prayer for his life
A man that needs my smile to cover his sadness
A man that needs my love so he feels being loved
A man that needs me to make his life beautiful

And I also ask
Make me be a woman that can make him proud
Give me a heart that really loves You
So I can love him with Your love not love him with my love
Give me Your gentle spirit so my beauty does not come my outside
But comes from You
Give me Your hands that I always be able to pray for him
Give me Your eyes so I can see many good things in him
And not the bad one
Give me Your mouth that is filled with Your words of wisdom and encouragement
So I can support him everyday
Give me Your lips and I will smile at him every morning

And I want that when we finally meet
Both of us can say
How great Thou art
I know that You want us to met at the right time
And You will make everything beautiful in Your time
Amen.
