I prayed for love,
but the love
I found isn’t
the love
I went looking
for.

I wanted one—
to have and
to hold—
ahava

But I found many—
we have
and hold
each other—
agape

I wanted one—
to create my
own family—
but Jesus became my one,—
and gave me
His family

We pray for what we want, but God gives us what we need. He is faithful, and he will answer every prayer.
