(no subject)
My Wife.
I thought I would share a message I received and my repsonse:
"Hi There! It's been a while since I've seen you...how are things going? so i notice on your blogs you write a lot about modesty in females. Tell me what you think is most attractive in a female and what godly men look for in a future spouse. I'm curious to hear. I know for godly women, godliness is definitely most attractive in a man..."
My response:
It's funny you ask such a question I just had a conversation about this. :) Though there may be more than this, there are two verses that make up the recipe for my kind of woman, that these verses would describe who she is,
Having this evidence of Jesus inside of her:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." - Galations 5:22,23
Each one of those are very important to me. (I had a friend tell me she dedicated a week to focusing on each one of those praying for more and living it out, that's attractive).
"Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives-- when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external--the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing-- but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious." - 1 Peter 3:1-4
Those kinds of things are incredibly attractive to me. A gentle and quiet spirit. Yes indeed. How many times does the bible say something is "very precious in God's sight?" A woman who desires that... to be precious in God's sight... that woman will have my attention, and apparently, she will be having a gentle and quiet spirit. I have seen this spirit sneak in on women who pursue Jesus. Reading the word, prayer, the Spirit, it changes them. My kind of woman.
