3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
All my life, I looked for any excuse to make a wish. Going through a yellow traffic light. Dandlions. 11:11 on the clock. Birthday candles. Every silly superstitious opportunity you can think of. And from the time I was about 12 until the age of, oh I don't know, 30, these wishes involved romance. I wish to find a boyfriend. I wish my boyfriend and I would get back together. I wish to find true love, someone who loves me for who I really am. What I should have been wishing for was that I would find God's will, and the patience to see the man He created as my partner.
Now that I have met that man, and found true love, I realize that while it took a long time, all those wishes were actually granted. And now, I know that what I should be wishing, in fact praying for, is God's will in both our lives. I wish for happiness for all those I love, for health and peace. And above all, I wish for them to know how much I love each and every one of them. They are all my wishes come true.
