condition for my husband
As my friends and I have been talking about my future husband a word has constantly come up:
condition
"I have some conditions for the guy" says one of my friends. Another asks, "what are the things you would like find in him? color of eyes? car? house? courteous? intelligent?"
As any woman I could make up a list of "ideals", of things to seek in a man with whom I would have to live with for the rest of my days. Which, even if they are few, will be well lived.
When faced with this question when I was young I decided to choose a man that wanted to serve God. My motivatin for this was that I myself wanted to serve God. It was my only condition and that is what I chose.
Because neither of us faced sin as sin in our own hearts our marriage went down the drain...along with our ministry.
After 11 years of walking alone, and after 7 of God insisting that I remarry, I am now waiting for my husband. And I am now faced again with the question: "what do I want in him?"
I can make a list a mile long, but all these promptly dissapear as I ponder on one. Only one condition... yes, I know I had said I would say "yes" to any brave man that would ask me to marry...just because he was brave enough...but then I noticed that there are tons of lonely guys out there and that perhaps that was a trap.
ONE CONDITION ONLY. I promise I will keep it at that.
My husband doesn´t have to be in the ministry
He doesnt have to have a car
He doesn´t have to have blue eyes
He doesn´t have to be romantic
etc.
etc.
etc.
etc.
ONLY ONE CONDITION.
I think I would be the happiest woman on earth if the man I were to marry met this condition:
A man that knows God well,and thus fears Him
and is not offended by Him.
Not only that he is not offended by God,
but he loves and honors God for who He is,
and follows him unreservedly.
He prays and follows God with his whole heart.
I know, you are thinking I made it too hard for God...but don´t worry, God loves impossible things...and who knows...probably it was the prayer of my husband that has taken me to go through all I have gone through. I do have this feeling that he looked around said, "I need a wife but I have one condition, ONLY ONE CONDITION..."
I am looking forward to the years I will spend by his side.
