It is time to stop
settling for the lesser of the two.
Ladies, there is a huge difference between a Christian boy
and a Godly man; therefore it is time to stop settling for the lesser of the
two. So many times I hear girls saying,
“Well, he’s a
Christian.”
“He goes to church
with me.”
“He listens to
Christian music.”
“He went to church
camp.”
“He has a favorite
bible verse.”
Well all of those things are just peachy and there is
nothing wrong with doing those things. I mean, they are all good things to do.
But, how is his personal relationship with God? How is his prayer life? Does he
talk about his relationship with God, to you? Is he truly a follower of the one
true God in all aspects of his life? These are some of the characteristics you
should be looking for that makes a Godly man.
Ladies, a man will love you great when he loves God greater.
A Godly man will pursue an honest relationship with you. He will be clear of
his intentions. A Godly man will worship, pray and passionately praise God with
you. Whereas, a Christian boy might open the door for you, a Godly man will
open his bible and explore God’s word with you so that you both may grow
spiritually together. While a Christian boy may put on an outward show, Godly
men will live out the love of Jesus daily.
According to BBC News, “Pew Research Center found that 71%
of Americans identified as Christian in 2014 – down from 78% in 2007.” This is
a large percentage of the American population. A Godly man does more because
you deserve more.
A Godly man will be a leader. Trust me, I know that in
today’s society Godly men are few and far while Christian boys come in plenty.
But you deserve a man who is after God’s heart, not just a boy who goes to
church. I know that this Christian boy may seem great and have some really
stellar qualities at the time, but money and looks fade whereas an ongoing love
for God and his family will not.
The greatest thing a man can do for a woman is to lead her
closer to God than himself. So, I beg of you, do not settle. Do not settle just
because you’re tired of being single, it’s convenient or because you want the
relationship your friend has. Single does not equal available and a
relationship statues does not define you. God uses your season of singleness to
prepare you for what is to come. God’s timing is always better, no matter the
circumstance. So, do not rush God. Therefore, turn your full focus to Him and
He will direct your path.
I understand this was a whole lot of God talk pushed at you,
but regardless of your faith, religion, beliefs or values, find a man that will
guide you and support you. According to the American Psychological Association,
about 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the United States Divorce.
Therefore, find a man that is interested in what you believe in, dream of
and support. Find someone that is genuinely interested in what you’re
passionate about.
“But seek first His
kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew
6:33
