What, or Who, Am I Waiting For?

To address this question directly, you are waiting for God’s best.

You’re waiting for the guy that will respect you, your purity, and your parents (big thing). You’re holding out for the guy that will respect , love, care, be gentle, honor , and be loyal to you.

If you marry someone that isn’t God’s best, it doesn’t mean you couldn’t have a good marriage, but you could have missed out on the joy and love filled one that He wanted to give you. It’s like Princess Alicia said, God doesn’t want you to have a good marriage; He wants you to have the best marriage. I know it’s hard to wait with all the handsome guys strutting around like peacocks, but we have to wait; it’s God’s plan for us. So beware you don’t fall into temptation. Set up boundaries to guard yourself. Don’t throw a piece of your heart to just anyone who gives you some attention. Save it for prince Charming and God’s best.

But is it okay to have friends that are boys?

Yes, but strictly friends. I’ve read about some Godly people doing the “two eyes”. It’s pretending that your future husband is looking at how you act from across the room. For example; say you’re somewhere and you’re trying to attract a handsome guy’s gaze (who’s probably thinking, “Who is that crazy person?”), planning to as soon as he looks at you to turn away and giggle with your friends.

If your future spouse was watching you, would he approve of you flirting with someone else? No!

Something I try to do is think of them as brothers in Christ, and I ask myself this question; would I flirt with my real brother? No!

So, who are you waiting for?

As we discussed, it’s for God’s best. And believe me, God’s best isn’t second best; it’s better than any “first” best thing we could even think up! Here is a Scripture verse that might come in handy when you are tempted to give up waiting:

1 Corinthians 10:3 (NIV)

“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."

So again, wait for God’s best!

God bless,
