I Pray

I this pray for someone I love:

God, before all is said and done, I pray that you would find him.  I pray that he would find you.  I know the road won't be easy; it hasn't been for me.  But, I pray that in your great mercy, in his own way, and in your own time, that he would come to love you deeply.  Whenever that happens, I will be most grateful.  Between now and then, whether sooner or later, help me to represent what I can of you...for his sake.  Help me to realize that the work is really yours, not mine.  That the choice is really his, not mine.  Help me to be patient, willing to love over the period of time this will take...a lifetime even, just as it has been for me.
