Dear Maturing Woman of God,
Why should you only be in a relationship with a godly man? Well, let's think about our Heavenly Father. He is faithful, compassionate, a provider, a protector, strong, and loving. When He truly resides in someone, the characteristics must grow and develop in that person. Look, years ago I worked at a camp. Half of the staff came from Brooklyn and the other half from London. I spent 11 weeks with these wonderful people. The side effect: I had one of the thickest accents around. What's the point? The person or people you spend the most time around influence you the most. If a man spends a great deal of time developing his relationship with the Father, he develops God's attributes. The man will become faithful, compassionate, a provider, a protector, strong, and loving.
How does God desire for his daughters to be treated? Ephesians 5:25-30 says, "And you husbands must love your wives with the same love Christ showed the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by baptism and God's word. He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man is actually loving himself when he loves his wife. No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just as Christ cares for his body, which is the church. And we are his body." I Peter 3:7 says, "Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers." Now, what woman doesn't want this in her life? God has so much He wants you to experience!
Before you go get a new dress for this Sunday's service, let's talk. Just because a man goes to church doesn't mean he has a mature relationship with God. You will know if he has a relationship with God by the fruit he bears. He will bear this fruit in and out of your presence. If he only bears fruit in your presence, it's an ACT! Run for the hills! Remember, Satan goes to church! Some men are in the beginning stages of their relationship with God. Their spirit is willing, but their flesh is oh so weak. These men have a little too much world in them. It doesn't take much for them to fall off the wagon. If you care about this brother in Christ, let him continue to develop. Rushing into something may hurt the both of you. Instead, wait for God to send a mature man of faith. You will notice I said mature and not perfect. This man is developing the ability to love you like the Father loves you. He will care for you and allow God to lead him on how to treat you. In the meantime, allow God to mature you! As much as God loves His daughters, He adores His sons. This topic will be discussed in a later blog.
I love you woman of God,
