The True Beauty

True Beauty

While I’m single, I’m working to build Godly character in my Life and to have the right attitudes and as I observed the young ladies around me I’m keeping my eyes wide open. And yes I’m still playing my little game of asking “What matters at fifty”. It helps me look past the fleeting issues of youth and beauty and focus on the essentials of character and attitude.

Poor girls, if they had any idea about my game…But then, who knows? Maybe they been imagining what I’ll look like at fifty, Now there’s a scary thought.

One of these days, and this the moment for which I’m hoping and praying, I’m going to meet a girl, and when I imagine her at fifty she’ll be even more beautiful than she is today. ,the year won’t detract; they’ll only sharpen and mature her. Because with a women who fears GOD, whose inner strength draws from the wellspring of His life, time can only add to her true beauty. Of course, the sign of ages will emerge, but the spirit lights up her sparkling eyes will still be young vibrant and alive. That’s what I want to grow to love.

What will I do when this young woman? I think about that often. I don’t know exactly what I’ll say. Maybe I’ll get down on my knees and beg her to spend the rest of her life growing all with me. We can watch our bodies fall apart and together wait fot the day when the master gives us new ones.

And when I kissed her on our day, that when I left I’ll revel the wife of my youth, but I’ll whispered in her ear, “I can’t wait to see you when your growing older.

Amen to that. Pretty girls won't always have their looks, but the Christian girls are worth more than rubies.

Proverbs 31:10
"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." KJV

That's just so beautiful brother Roel.... and I think it's the same for us girls to think about you guys. I believe in the "true beauty" is in the true desire of growing in faith and how beautiful God has made your soul through your experience with Him, how He has shaped your heart through Hid discipline, love, grace, knowledge and more.
I dont know what am I gonna do when I get to know this man! but one thing is for sure, He will be the man that Ill admire, and the one who will be my companion through this life in seeking God, in growing in faith, the one who's going to help me see God when I'm blind and going through hard times, and more of course. I just can't think of everything!
But well, I encourage you, as you've been doing, and myself too, to use our singlehood to seek Go'd face first than anything, that's the most important thing for us. To seek Our first love, and fix our eyes on Him.
God bless you brother!

Sis, Haynaru

Roel,

The first paragraph of your post sounds as if you view the single life as a growth stage you must pass through on the way to full maturity as embodied by marriage.

I urge you to look closely at 1 Corinthians 7. The single life is the life appointed by God for many people and, when they embrace their singleness and give themselves over to the Lord fully, they are blessed profusely.

Mounty,

I live less than a mile from a manufacturing facility of one of the world's best known cosmetic brands. They've got plenty of "bottled youth" for ladies in their warehouse.

I think we are made for relationships and I think it is in Gods plan for us to be happy with someone but I think before we are ready to be with anyone else we need to learn to place him first and make him number 1.

Only when we have learned to do this then can we be ready to love others and have a holy relationship with them.

Rick,

We are meant for relationships, but not necessarily marital relationships. It really bothers me that society teaches us to look down on adults who've stayed single all their lives.

Single believers, in my opinion, need to try to ignore the peer pressure that comes from well meaning married friends and relatives and see their relationship with the Lord as something that can and will fill every moment with meaning.

"See to it that no one takes you captive through holllow and deceptive philosophy (such as the philosophy that one has to be married to be complete) which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority." (Col 2:8-10)

No I fully agree with what your saying and I would never look down at anyone all am saying is if you long to be married and happy with someone then I think God wants that to and will give that to you I don't think God intends for anyone to be single unless that what they really want.

Say someone longs to be with someone and to have a family with all there heart I believe God will give that to them to be single forever and happy I think it's what you have to want in your heart then God will be happy with that too.

It's nothing to look down on singleness its a special gift but I don't think it's in God's plan for anyone to be unhappy or be in a situation they really don't want ??

I think it is meant for people who want to be single for example monks choose that life great for them they want it God wants it great special gift but I don't think if someone didn't want to be single God would make them single for the rest of there lives unhappy.
