There once was a man, and he was given a vision from God, that he was to search out the most beautiful emerald. When he began his search... he first found only dusty lil pebbles. But as he carried on his way, moving and traveling from place to place... he came across many precious stones. There was a diamond, a sapphire, a ruby. Oh how he desperately wished that these beautiful stones were the emerald that he was called to find. But they weren't for him. Only the emerald was to be his, and his alone. There was nothing wrong with the beautiful ruby that stood before him. It was beautiful, it was perfect. He didn't want to say no, he didn't want to pass it by... but that precious jewel was meant for another. I'm not sure where this man is today... and whether or not he has found his emerald... if he hasn't yet... I am sure that he will. And the most beautiful thing of all is that he didn't compromise the integrity of the other stones, because he was willing to wait for, to find, the beautiful emerald that God set aside for him.
Now... it wasn't actually a stone this man was looking for. It was a woman, a wife, a best friend.
