Dear Sisters in Christ,
This is an encouragement and a reminder to you to not compromise your walk/relationship with Christ for anyone or anything. It is never worth it. Do not do it for work, family or any sort of relationship/friendship. I want to speak specifically to romantical relationships with the opposite sex.
A man who is handsome, charismatic, charming, has a great sense of humour and in a decent job would make a great provider for the family and if he grew up with his 6 sisters, that would communicate that he understands women (bonus!!). But if he doesn't have a relationship with Christ, he has no eternal value to you presently or your future family. A man who is able to lead your family in God's righteousness, lead family devotions and prayer understand that his strength does not come from his muscles or intellect but from God through Christ Jesus. This is a man we should gladly commit and submit to.
A man who knows his worth and value - understand that he was bought and made redeemed through the precious blood of Jesus - will know your value and worth too. From a princess, who one day hopes to marry such a man, to another, God's best is the best there is. Do not settle for anything less: not when your age is ticking, your womb clock is ticking (Lord help me!) or for any other reason. Make your request be known to God and trust Him.
If he is really interested in you and think you are valuable, allow him to work out the most important relationship he'll ever have. Do not lower these standards. A man who has accepted Christ's love knows what love is and should understand your value in the Kingdom of God. Regardless of what the naysayers are saying, put your hope and faith in Christ alone. His plan and purpose are complete, lacking nothing.
In the mean time, keep serving and loving while we are being prepared for the ultimate Marriage Supper.
Yours truly,
A fellow Sister💓
