The Characteristics of A Godly Man

I am human, and it shows through my thoughts of the opposite sex. My first thoughts of a man include handsome, strong, intellectual, funny, understanding, romantic, and all of the other superficial characteristics that young girls are taught to check, check, and double check before they commit to any courtship and later on marriage.

I'm focused I know what I want, when I want it, and I have an idea of how I plan to get it done. I came to Hampton University as queen of the Miss Independent Attitude. However, in the passing years I’ve watched myself grow into Miss Never Say Never. See, part of my problem was the fact that I knew that God had built me to last, but I was not certain of whether or not he built someone to weather the storms of life and ride with me through the journey. Honestly, I got sick of the worldly men. Yeah you know them; the saved, sanctified, and filled with self type dudes. The type that only seek a woman to be their trophy wife. The one that views everything as a competition even in church. Yep! I'm not that old, but life hasn't been a smooth sail so I know quite a few things. So, then what's left? Some may say that there are plenty of good men out there, but what good is that if he's not who God has for me? That's very important to me because no matter how wonderful he and I are individually it means nothing if God has not ordained it to be so.

But, The Lord in his infinite wisdom disciplined my thoughts immediately, and showed me myself sitting a car, with a GPS in hand, a location in mind, but I lacked the address. Simply put, the bible is a road map with instructions and directions that cover every issue of life even down to the seemingly most personal of matters, even significant others. After searching, and praying God revealed wonderful things through his word. For some of us this may be a confirmation, an affirmation of what you know to be true. For others of us this is a call to really reevaluate a few things, that we may soon find ourselves and our relationships in alignment with the word of God...
