HE that findth a "WIFE" findth a good thang!

[HeChangedMyName]

I agree with KBragg. See the story of Ruth in the bible. Naomi was a wise mother and helped Ruth put herself out there so she could be found. I'm not saying go sleep at some man's feet, but heed the example. Ruth's lineage led to Jesus' birth. God was all up in that. Be open to the leading of the Spirit. I'm sure I missed the person God spoke to me about because I refused to make the first move. The way God told me to move was so not aggressive, but I had been beat over the head with that He that findeth a wife quote, that even the modest move I could have made was taboo to me. They perish for lack of knowledge (and being caught up in traditional religious thought versus being led by the Spirit).

I have been reading ruth a lot lately. I have learned something new each time that I read it. Like how Naomi told Ruth to get all dolled up and fresh before she went to lay at Boaz's feet. You can't expect to catch Boaz's attention if you're walking around looking beat up from the feet up.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!

Bishop Jakes says wash your face = wash away your bitterness, anger and all the residual stuff from the last relationship(s).

You know I have a male friend that lives in CA. I really, really like him but as of now, we're just friends. He's in the bodyguard business. He wants a wife. He posted on his fb page, the same scripture in the thread title. I cannot remember what I told him but one of the things I was thinking was "Are you out looking? or just waiting for God to drop her in your lap" It's one thing to say, Hey I'm ready to get married but it's another to be activitely seeking by faith.

Sometimes, men forget that they are the hunters. I actually like this guy, but even I had to back off a bit so that he can come do the seeking and also so that my heart doesn't get broken. I ask the Lord that if any guy I met isn't the one to just let them keep going and to draw me away. I'll admit that I wear my heart on my sleeve and it causes me to be gulliable sometimes especially when it comes to love. I've never been in love before so I know I only want to do it one time. I wouldn't say that I'm consistanly in prayer for my husband but I know that he's being prepared, just like I am. If it's my friend, ok. It's it's not, ok. I guess i'm just learning to go with the flow and Let God do this thing.

I've always thought that if a guy is not doing the seeking and he comes into some relationship, then he didn't have the upperhand. It's not that I would want to be directed by a man, but I side-eye those who don't lead (in a good way). Would they, at some point, think that they didn't get what they truly were looking for (not that they were actively looking, but just settled)???

So if you say "Lord send me a husband" but spend 99.9% at home in hermit mode, don't assume that "it's not God's will" for you to be married...you're just hiding and caint be found!

kbragg, this is so true. The bible says FAITH without WORKS is dead. You have to put forth a mustard seed effort for God to move.
