They are sold out to God’s vision for their lives and have prospered under His direction or the encouragement of those that God has placed in their lives.

After discerning which category he is in, you must be realistic about how much energy will be directed toward his vision and away from you. Are you willing to share a man with his vision?

So, do you want a life partner and companion, or a husband and a benefactor? Just asking!

Gems in Disguise

“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.

JOHN 1:46

R emember that Jesus, because He became a man in the incarnation, looked like other men. He rather blended into the crowd. In fact, He was broke as far as anyone knew. No fabulous wardrobe. He said He didn’t have anyplace to lay His head. No house?! He had to go fishing to pay his taxes. He didn’t have a regular day job. Yet He was the King of kings and the Lord of lords in the form of a common man. Is this someone who you would have been interested in?

If that isn’t an object lesson, I don’t know what is. Many a woman was drawn to him. Why? He was caring, sensitive, wise, strong yet gentle, perceptive to their deepest and most secret desires. He touched them in a way no other man had. He was understanding, not condemning, of their past mistakes, and they knew He loved them. He was willing to die for them.

Now that is a man I could love! Why don’t we meet more men like that? Perhaps because they don’t come in the package we want or expect. We overlook them every day. Decent, hardworking, quiet, unglamourous men…hmm, gems in disguise that could use the polish of a woman’s touch. Have you ever noticed that most married men are more attractive than single ones? Their wives all say the same thing, “Chil’, he wasn’t like that when I got him!” Stop looking lor the ready-made package. There aren’t any no matter how old they are! I urge you to kill the fantasy and examine the heart of a man before discarding unobvious treasure. I believe more women would be happily married if they followed this advice.

Are we passing models of Jesus by on a daily basis because they don’t look or dress the way we want them to? Not interesting enough? How do you know? Have you really taken the time to dig beneath the surface? Still waters run deep. The Bible tells us that when we see our husband, Jesus, again that He will be wondrous to behold. I believe it will be the look of love in His eyes that will make Him so beautiful to us. We have been made beautiful because of His sacrifice for us, and we will be made flawless by His presence and glory. Through the eyes of love, ordinary men become beautiful, and we become more beautiful as they cover us with their love. Have you ever seen the glow on someone’s face who is deeply in love? ‘Nuf said.
