Jesus, by giving His perfect life as a payment for ours, so we may live eternally with Him in heaven, showed the true meaning of sacrifice and love. Now we as Christians must show the world the love we have been given, no matter the opposition we face. We must all be Lions of God. Jesus said, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to Father except through Me." We can be the first glimpse of light, leading our peers, our family members, our enemies towards the true Light.

Firstly

Whenever I am asked what I want most in a guy (specifically, my 'One) I always say "That he puts God first." Depending on who asked, their questions range from "That's it? You don't even have a 'type'?" or "But what about someone who shares your passion for ___, outreach, writing, kids, etc?"

My response, no matter who asked is always "If he is able to put God first, I know he will have everything else in his life where it needs to be, including me. That is really all that matters."

I would like to encourage all of you, those who are waiting for their Someone's (you know who you are) to not become discouraged. So often you are met with temptation, ridicule, and questioning, but if you believe in God, then you must believe in His Plan and His Timing in ALL things, including your love life. I am no where near perfect in this or any matter, but Sanctification in God is a process, a daily, hourly battle against the world and the desires in us to align with what He ultimately designed. God has promised it is not good for man to be alone, so draw closer to Him, make Him the Lord of your Life, and soon you might just find yourself being led towards your One.
For we are God's handiwork, recreated in Christ Jesus, born anew that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us, taking paths which He prepared ahead of time, that we should walk in them, living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live. Ephesians 2: 10
