why?
Why do girls fall into the false hope of a guy fulfilling all of their needs and desires?
Why are we incredibly gullible and quickly fall into our own desires?
The scariest thing is...when we are doing it- we NEVER realize it....it is only after many tears are shed and pictures torn, do we understand our own sin in trusting in someone and not our constant, our God.
I read the wisest thing a godly woman could ever say a couple of days ago and it is so glorifying to God that I feel the need to copy and paste this Xanga entry onto my entry by Miss Laura Lew:
"I have an answer to a tough question you asked me about a year ago... You asked me something like "How can a woman love the Lord with all her heart, soul, and mind, and still 'give her whole heart' to her husband?"
The answer lies in the Bible when it says to 'make/keep the Lord your refuge and you strong tower' ... a godly woman can't expect her husband to meet all her deepest needs and desires...he will be after all as flawed an individual as she is--human. When we feel our heart is breaking or have a 'need' that we can't exactly describe...we shouldn't 'rip into' our husbands because they're not fullfilling that need...but RUN to the Lord and pour our heart out in prayer...and stay there until either our attitude or the situation changes. This kind of an belief system will endear a wife to her husbands heart and he will appreciate the fact that she isn't unreasonable.
"In closing..." understanding this kind of love for ones husband and the role that he can realistically take keeps the Love for the Lord in proper perspective too. We should always only look to the Lord to fulfill certain parts of our hopes/desires...so many of us wives have made the mistake of trying to expect the husband do what only the Lord is able to do. It becomes easier to give your whole heart to your husband if you interpret (when referring to your love for the Lord) the heart as being your Spirit...that part of our 'heart' that came alive the day HE touched us in our sinfulness and called us to HIM...basically, "Don't expect your mate to understand you totally, or to even to like everything about you...and don't take differences 'personally'...be slow to anger and quick to forgive...All of these beliefs and attitudes are the beginning of learning to have Agape love for your mate. What can I can...the question about 'sharing' our heart between the Lord and your future husband...is certainly a mystery...but it is related to the FIRST thing that God ever said was "VERY good" in all of his creation...the mystery of a convenant between one man and one woman. [Some women become so wrapped up in their husbands and then flip out on them when they act like the flawed humans that they really are. They get this way because somewhere along the romance road, they forgot about the Lord or quit running to Him in prayer...something He doesn't want us to stop, until Heaven.]"
I pray that God will give me the wisdom and guidance to trust in Him and not in things of the world, including people.
You are constant, unchangable, You make the stars in the sky and You know them by name...You are amazing God....
