But through the years of not having a boyfriend I find God shows me new things about what I want in a guy. They are not so dramatic that no guy could ever match up. But they are special things God has placed inside my heart just for me. I strongly believe that even though it’s hard to wait especially when it seems like everyone else is dating or now as I am getting older my friends are getting married, but I really do believe God has saved me from some crazy heartache that could have happened. I thank him for that because I don’t want to bring past broken relationships into my marriage one day.
God has put some standards on my heart that a lot of guys don’t go for. But girls don’t lower them for any guy EVER! I know how easy it could be, I have considered lowering a few myself. But God always brings me back to a place where I realize that if a guy really loves me he will respect my standards. I will name a few just so you know what I am talking about. And don’t get me wrong I am not saying that my standards are right for everyone. God has just places these on my heart for ME….
· I will not marry or even date an unbeliever. Because my man needs to be able to spiritually lead me! (You might be thinking “Well what’s wrong with just dating an unbeliever you don’t have to marry him”. The way I see it is dating an unbeliever for me just won’t work because the guy I date I want him to be someone I could possibly marry. I don’t just want to date around for the fun of it. Some people do and that is their choice. :-) Everyone has a different lifestyle and standards.
· I will stay sexually pure until my wedding night. God made sex for marriage and so I am waiting. When you have sex with someone you become one flesh, so that means two people become one! If you have sex with someone outside of marriage than there is no “real” commitment there and then you open yourself up to so many things like STD’s or pregnancy and you don’t even know if that person is going to stick around. I for one don’t want that for my life.
So those are a few of the major set in stone standards that God has place on my heart! Those ones I will not budge on! God will bring the right guy around and he will love me enough to respect where I stand! God knows my heart; He will always be my first true love and my prince charming!
One last thing that has been on my heart is I feel like some girls are so stuck on wanting a earthly prince charming to come recue them from evil and sweep them off their feet. But while they are waiting and so focused on that they fergot that the ultimate prince charming has already came and recued them for all evil. He saved you from all the darkness in the world and his name is Jesus. He died for you, he loved you that much. Ladies if that doesn’t sweep you off your feet to think that he loves you that much than I don’t know if any earthly guy will ever be able too. Jesus Loves you more than ANY earthly man will ever!! :-)
Love you all and God Bless!!!!
