This little princess just celebrated her first Valentines Day. It is a daunting yet joyful thought that someday, if the Lord tarries His coming, she may someday find someone else she desires to spend her Valentines Days with. What reassurance to look back on our life and see the fear in that decision be covered in peace as the Lord brought about the most perfect relationship in His timing. I only hope the same for her. For now, I strive to raise her to be who she needs to be as a godly young lady. It is only then she will be able to discern between just a christian guy and a man of God. A Christian guy might say that he loves you A man of God will love God more than you. A Christian guy might have memorized Bible verses A man of God will live out those verses. A Christian guy might go to church, at least once in a while A man of God will go and be an active participant. A Christian guy may know the "right answers" A man of God is settled in his standards and doctrine. A Christian guy may act like a Christian A man of God will know that he represents Christ no matter where he is. A Christian guy may be concerned about his appearance to others A man of God will see that the highest calling is to give God glory. A Christian guy may be a good kid A man of God will be a godly one. A Christian guy may consider your opinions in decisions A man of God seeks the Lord in his decisions. A Christian guy may rush into a relationship A man of God will guard his heart. A Christian guy may compromise purity or push limits A man of God will protect it above all else. A Christian guy may be seen as attractive, fun, or handsome A man of God will have a beautiful heart regardless of his looks. A Christian guy may have you as the center of his life A man of God will have Christ as the center. A Christian guy may send you texts that he's thinking of you A man of God will send prayers on your behalf. There is also a big difference between a Christian girl and a woman who fears the Lord. A Christian girl may use her words, actions, and clothing to attract attention A woman who fears the Lord speaks, acts, and dresses with grace and modesty. A Christian girl may remain pure in its most basic definition A woman who fears the Lord defends the purity of her heart, mind, and body with great resolve. A Christian girl may be a good girl A woman who fears the Lord will be a godly one. A Christian girl may send inappropriate jokes, videos, and comments A woman who fears the Lord will guard both her and his heart, mind and eyes. A Christian girl may look to her guy to fulfill her life A woman who fears the Lord knows only the One Who created her heart can fill it. A Christian girl may seek constant attention and affection to make her feel valued A woman who fears the Lord finds her worth in Christ. These are the first examples that came to mind. I'm all about a good relationship story... but my God writes the best ones, and that's the only one I want for her. True love, genuine charity. The best way to see if you/they are genuine? Fill in the appropriate name and see if you/they fit the description. (1 Cor. 13, paraphrased) _____ suffereth long _____ is kind _____ envieth not _____ vauneth not themselves _____ is not puffed up _____ doth not behave unseemly _____ seeketh not their own _____ is not easily provoked _____ thinketh no evil _____ rejoiceth not in iniquity _____ rejoiceth in the truth _____ beareth all things _____ believeth all things _____ hopeth all things _____ endureth all things Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. So, Potential future son-in-laws, Take notes.
