The Love Worth Waiting For

Finding real love starts with preparing our hearts and trusting God’s timing. Best-selling author of Finding God Every Day, Rebecca Simon, reminds us to surrender past hurts, embrace patience, and welcome love that reflects God’s grace and peace.

Hold out for the love that doesn’t rush you, doesn’t confuse you, doesn’t pull you away from who you’re becoming — but gently, consistently leads you closer to God and closer to yourself. The kind of love that lasts. The kind worth praying for. 

Some people want a perfect love story — I just want a faithful one.

The kind of relationship that doesn’t run at the first sign of difficulty, but leans in and prays harder. The kind where two people choose honesty over ego. A partnership that isn’t built on feelings that come and go, but on a foundation God is shaping day by day.

Because real love isn’t effortless — it’s intentional. It’s two people deciding, again and again, to grow, to listen, to forgive. It’s choosing patience on the days when emotions feel loud. It’s coming back to the table even when the conversation is uncomfortable. It’s remembering that you’ re not fighting each other — you’re fighting for the relationship God entrusted you with.

That’s the love worth waiting for. The one that strengthens your faith instead of distracting you from it. The one that feels steady, and safe, and covered. The one that makes you better, softer, wiser — not because it’s perfect, but because it’s anchored in something holy.

When it’s God-designed, you won’t have to force the connection or fear the future. You’ll recognize it by the way peace settles in, even in the hard moments. That’s the kind of love your heart was built for. And it will come — in the right time, in the right way, with the right person.
