If you ever meet a man who:
Says
he misses your nose
Offers
to help repair fence . . . for free
Takes
responsibility for your time and relationship
Enjoys
your family
Tells
you that you are beautiful—flaws and all
Talks
through conflict
Chooses
to forgive and forget
Laughs
at your jokes
Tolerates
your (adorable) cat
Speaks
truth into your life with simplicity and love
Wants
you to voice your thoughts
Researches
your unanswered questions
Speaks
sincerely of your future
Admits
when he does not know
Leads
you closer to the Lord
Pray for
that man. Encourage and bless his efforts. Support his dreams. Practice a thankful
heart. Love him; respect him; choose him.
Above all, realize the treasure you have been given and hold it in high esteem.
He may be
different than what you had imagined. He may not be a polished speaker, a
Charles Spurgin, or a hardy Anabaptist. But if he is a man of God he will be a reflection
of Christ—a leader with a gentle, meek heart—a man who will lead you to fulfill
your calling as a godly woman.
Wait for
him, dear sisters, for he is worth the wait; when he appears hold onto him realizing the gold he is.
