Interesting Take on Christian Marriage (for men)

I found this in response to an article (on the internet) on dating and marriage. Wow, this lady's words really spoke to me:

"I hope you're blessed and are led to your heart's desire!
If you're a Christian Man looking for love and/or marriage then please read the following to help in your search.

Prayer: Thank You Almighty GOD for this medium of technology to communicate and I ask that You prepare this man's heart for who You would have for him. Use his natural abilities with Your Supernatural abilities to create another family for Your Kingdom. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.

WISDOM: You need wisdom to know if this is your time for harvest concerning GOD's best for you. Do you expect a harvest without having planted seed? What seeds have you planted for this future wife/family you desire? What does your garden of love look like? Weeds in certain spots? One good patch meaning you only love certain people? What does your garden of trust look like? Is it gated up? What about your garden of finances? Is there a bench in that garden where someone could sit and observe how responsible or irresponsible you are? Check the "state" of yourself before you open the doors to the "visitors". Wisdom is all over GOD's Word and especially in Proverbs. Read a Proverb to coincide with the day and see how your life changes if you read, meditate and apply what you have read. If you have been planting seeds and tending to your garden of life ~ wonderful! Be expecting a harvest! If you have not then there are many tools for you to get your garden of life in order so that those seeds and/or new seeds that are planted will grow beautifully. Your harvest for anything in life and especially concerning a wife will be dependent on your commitment to nurturing your garden.

FAITH: Without faith it is impossible to please GOD! If you want to please our Magnificent Creator then you need to have faith! Don't believe there's not some female for you because of the state of the world or the dating scene. Operate in faith and continue to believe for GOD's best for you!

TRUST: Sometimes you men put on that Superman suit and feel like you need to do all these superhuman things. Again, your natural ability with GOD's Supernatural ability will allow for you to find her or you be led to one another. You don't have to waste your resources when you can be investing those resources. Be wise and trust GOD!

STUDY: Study what a woman of GOD is supposed to look, act and develop into. Read Proverbs 31, ask your Pastor, ask a Deacon, ask a mature man/woman of GOD concerning how her exterior/interior should be. Don't go thinking you will know because the enemy will deceive you by your prideful thinking. Please ask! Get counsel and study.
Think of her as a house. Is she a beautiful house on the outside with cobwebs and dirt on the inside? Is she decorated finely and clean on the inside but needs some exterior work done? Look at that house during the day, at night, when it rains, when the Sun shines and observe how it looks in different seasons, situations and adapts to different conditions. Is the house inviting? Is the house too inviting and always packed with people? Who all occupies this house? How does the landscaping look? How do her gardens look? Is the house in order if you were to be invited inside? Are there means of nourishment or are her cupboards bare? And if you were to own this house how would you maintain it? Can you afford to maintain it? Has the house been damaged? Are you willing to repair, renovate and/or rebuild? Can you envision yourself living in as well as presenting this house as your house? Count the costs of ownership.

PATIENCE: Love is patient first and foremost. If there is no patience there is no love. If this person loves you then she will be patient while you search for GOD's best. If she is GOD's best for you then she will not be angered and fully understand when you explain you are looking at other "houses" too.

PRAY: Pray GOD's Will and not your will.

REMEMBER! Marriage is to further GOD's Kingdom so that there are Godly seeds. Ask yourself are your marriage intentions for selfish desires or to seek GOD's Kingdom first.
With love, peace and for you to be blessed!~Diamond"
