Day 8

About 4 years ago I made a memo in my cell phone with the kinda of girl I would want to date....

A girl that…

Puts other before herself and God before that

Who takes things in strides knowing God is in control

I need a girl that is willing to do hard things and doesn’t needlessly complain

A girl that listens to the holy-spirit and follows

A girl that will point me to Christ when I lose my perspective

One that isn’t oblivious and who sees needs

A girl that will support me by encouragement, prayer, and just being there to listen to my problems

A girl that allows me to look out for her, one that wants me to be there for her, allows me to protect
her.

A girl that doesn’t need physical things to be happy

A girl who is gentle toward people and not just me

A girl who takes care of herself, and likes looking nice, but does not let that care get in the way of her
blessing of others.

A girl that doesn’t have to be the center of everything/conversation

One that can be friends with anyone, but not best friends with all

One that will make me STOP and just relax.

God has placed that girl in my life. In Proverbs 31, the second to last verse ends with, "Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."

Father teach me to love my girl the way that you loved the Church, giving up myself for her. Teach me to show her honor. Help me to fight for her. Help me fight my own self and all of its fleshly desires, selfishness, and pride so that I might better lift her up. God I can't do this. I don't know how to love like this.

Teach me gentleness and kindness. Show me how to bridle my tongue and speak words that point her to you.
