Love has nothing to do with looks..
Let’s think..
Most guys and girls even in the Christian community,
treat the search of love as a beauty contest.
For guys, the hottest girl they can get win their love.
For girls, the hottest guy that come along win their heart.
The argument is be both sided..
Nobody wants to marry someone who in their eyes is not attractive,
Yet, nobody wants to be liked just because of their looks cos it fades.
What can we do?
As a girl, do I give every guy that is interested in me a chance
in search of their character? or turn them down cos am not attracted to them?
As a Christian girl, chasing God with my whole heart should be my first priority until my man comes.
What if God’s will comes in the form of someone we are not attracted to?
How are we suppose to overlook this superficial dilemma?
As a man, Prov. 31 should be your guide in the search for your bride.
How can you overlook beauty to character?
Honestly, I don’t want to turn God’s will down.
I think buying into the world’s form of beauty has clouded
our vision to how God really sees beauty.
1 Sam 16:7 -But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height,
for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
God looks at the inside to determine beauty.
We should care more about the inside of the person.
The outward matters too but in time,
it will fade.
Charm is deceitful and beauty fades,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised-Prov 31:30
I really like to hear what you have to share on this topic, pls support your response with a bible verse.
I found this on fb this morning.. It goes well with this blog post. It kinda sums up what I was trying to convey!
Proverbs 31:30 NIV
Young men, this one’s for you! When you’re getting ready for marriage and you’re out wife-hunting, keep this verse in mind. A
woman can be so strikingly beautiful, that she makes your jaws drop with just one look or she can be funny, witty and charming; I know that combination is irresistible. But if she lacks the fear of the Lord, she is as beautiful as a hollow porcelain tea cup. You see on the outside she seems to have it all. But on the inside she is just as empty as that tea cup. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. (Psalm 111:10) How can you expect your future wife to make wise decisions when she hasn’t made the wisest choice yet? That is to fear the Lord and walk in His ways.
So firstly, ask God for His will in your life. Secondly, pick a God fearing girl who loves the Lord with all her heart, soul and mind; and don’t be hasty about it. Once you make the commitment, it’s for life. So do it prayerfully and when God gives you the green signal, step out and just watch how beautifully your future unfolds before you.
