New Orleans

I went to New Orleans on holidays. It is beautiful down there this time of the year (April). Before I left, I had a male friend tell me that you don't exist. That no matter how hard I dream, I'll never find you. I am looking for a perfection in a person that only exists in Jesus Christ. Is that true? Is that what I'm really after. No man is perfect but so many of my male friends have flaws I can't live with. I know I have high expectations... but aren't they for my own safety? How can I compromise so much... Maybe you can tell me?

Where does love play into all this? Is it possible for love to override all my demands? Will I be able to recognize you in all your flaws and love you anyway? Am I not asking that of you, too... to love me unconditionally?

The only thing I really know about you is that you love Jesus with every fibre of your being and you passion and mission is to love him and serve him with all your heart, all your mind, with all your soul and all your strength.

Is that enough for me? If that is so evident in your life, will that not be enough?
Right now... I wish I could say it will.
