Girl, I know it’s hard to wait. I know it’s so hard to face rejection after rejection, the fear of never finding the right guy. But the right guy is worth waiting for. Stop settling for guys who don’t wholeheartedly follow Jesus. Stop dating guys who are “good” but do not follow Jesus, who do not bring you closer to Him.

If a guy doesn’t follow Jesus, he cannot love you right.

He can treat you great but if he has no desire to grow closer to Jesus, he won’t be good to you in the long run. If he doesn’t believe in Jesus, you should not be dating him at all. Yes, he might be okay with you being a believer but if he is not, he will not be able to encourage you or challenge your or call you out when you sin. He might be okay with your faith now but he will also be okay with your sin. You don’t want that. You want someone who challenges you to correct your ways. Someone who reads the Bible with you, grows closer to Jesus with you and prays with and for you.

If you find yourself saying “I know he’s not (perfect/patient/humble/faithful/growing closer to Jesus) right now but it will get better” – please, don’t believe yourself. You are worth more than that. You are worthy of a guy who honors you and respects you above all else. You are worthy of a guy who will challenge himself to become better so that he can love you right right now, not in the future.

Because you will do just the same for the right guy. You will see your flaws and you will want to grow, become better so that you will love him rightly. You will give him your heart, your time, your everything – just to be with him and to make him happy.

Our hearts will always create something to be worshipped, we will always fill it with something other than God. God fulfilled His promised son to Abraham, but sometimes the gift that is given can become a rival to the love that should be fully given to the Giver.

“Sacrifice Isaac”, God said,

He is saying to Abraham, “Are you willing to give up the One you love the most for Me? Are you willing to obey Me whatever it takes? Do you really love Me to the point of letting go of my gift for the sake of obedience?” After so many failures of trusting God in the past, Abraham finally surrendered, he finally let go of his will and obey God in His word.

Everyone of us have “Isaac”, that which you and i aren’t willing to surrender for it already took our wholebeing. That “Isaac” that competes with our love for God and hinders us to love Him fully.

Psalm 88:1-2

“Lord God, you are my Savior.    I have been praying to you day and night.     Please pay attention to my prayers.    Listen to my prayers for mercy.”

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”
