When Love Arrives

Love arrives when you least expect it,

quiet as a prayer whispered at night.

No chaos, no chasing—

just peace settling gently into your soul.

Suddenly, you realize

you are living the very prayer

you once cried out to God for.

Safe in their arms,

peaceful in their presence,

certain that the right person

didn't find you by chance—

they were brought to you with purpose.

And in that moment,

you thank God

for unanswered timing,

because love came exactly

when your heart was ready.
