for whoever touches you touches the apple of HIS eye—Zechariah 2:8
Princess deserves a prince not a frog. This phrase applies not only in Disney movies, but most especially, into heavenly realm. JESUS’ love is so great that HE wants the best for HIS people.
Princess, you are so precious to God. He even described you as the apple of HIS eyes. He wants you to experience the joy of being in HIS family. Treat yourself with high respect and value, for God’s love for you is immeasurable.
.... to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. -Ephesians 3:18
Be sensitive of those deceitful men who are wolfs in the sheep’s clothing. They will show you their nicest mask; but their minds are filled with selfish desires and their hearts are with impure intentions. Be sensitive and ask God for wisdom. Make sure that no unworthy men will take advantage of you.
To help you with, here are three things I observe on men.
Spiritual Values
- Real men love JESUS.
- If your spiritual values are not same with the man that pursues you, then he is a big NO-NO.
- Men are the head of the family; it is their job to lead their family closer to Jesus. If his values are not same with yours, then he will just lead you to your distraction.
- Second to God, you (wife) should be the most important person in your husband’s life. Not their selves, careers, nor your children.
Personal Values
- Don’t let men treat you like you are just their least priority. Again, second to Jesus, you are the priority.
- Men should not dictate you who you should be. If he wants to change you, then he does not love you. Be yourselves. Do not change your identity just to fulfil their fantasies.
- Men are to respect and protect women.
Financial Stability
- I-love-you’s cannot pay the house rent, phone bill, electricity bill and etc. Reality bites, this is one of the reasons why married couple separates.
- Men are the / should the provider of the family. His ability to provide for the future family is a sign that he is ready for a long term and serious relationship.
- You are worth more than chocolates, flowers and greeting cards.
- Men should also be responsible in handling God’s money. You wouldn’t want someone who will make you their credit cards.
Do not be settled with the momentary pleasures. Keep in mind the long-term results of your actions and decisions.
Guard your hearts. Relationships do not consist of love alone. Healthy relationships are consisting of Trust, Respect and Love. Two of these without the other one are not enough.
Nevertheless, as we set standards for men, we should also set standards for ourselves. In the same way, we also have responsibilities for our future husbands.
A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. -Proverbs 12:4
Have also the attitude of praying for your future husbands. If you want a faithful husband, then ask God for a faithful husband. If you want a responsible husband, pray for a responsible husband. With God, nothing is impossible! You only need to ask.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! -Matthew 7:7-11
You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. -James 4:2
May God bless you with discernment and wisdom. I pray for our husbands, that they may have Jesus in their hearts and in their lives. I pray that God would mold them into the man that HE wants them to be, and that HE mold us into the woman that HE wants us to be. I pray for God’s protection against the enemy how wants to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10) In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen!
Blessings to all!
