We all knew this topic would come at some point, and lets face it: I've been urged to speak on it for a while now.
The topic of boys, is something everyone has a love-hate relationship with, but is very easy to talk about- especially when you're happy in the department.
In the book I'm working on with my mom, I talk briefly on Adam & Eve and how from the beginning God has a man and a women placed on this earth for each other. Which I love the thought of, he made two very different people, but designed for each other & placed them in the world- either close or far apart from one another. He chose the two of you to be leaders in Christ together, to follow together, to be happy & support one another, but most of all be the prime example of love to each other as Jesus loved us.
As a teenager it's easy to settle for who wants us, who makes us "feel the best" and who's easiest to get your hands on. But as I've come to realize, and yes I'm only 16- that God has someone perfectly made for you, and he won't come when you want him to or in the time "you need him", he'll come when God knows you're ready & he'll be the perfect one for You & treat you as you truly deserve.
There are no perfect relationships, and there is no one who will always say the right thing & make no mistakes- but when the right one comes along, those mistakes will turn into lessons learned. Because in order to love, you need to first learn to forgive.
Colossians 3:12-16 speaks straight the point on what God expects of us.
Verse 13 says:
"Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another,forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."
The Lord has forgiven us, so we must forgive and love because it brings us closer together.
Boys are sometimes not easy to understand, they are addicted to their Xbox, glued to there TV's and hang with their buddies. It's not always easy to find "Mr. Perfect", and let me tell you- you wont!
But find a guy who seeks to learn about you, invest in you, and truly show you Gods love- even if he doesn't realize he is.
As God brings you the perfect man, he may not be suited in armor right from the start; but he'll love your flaws, make you feel beautiful and in time learn that living for The Lord is just as important as you are.
Don't expect perfection, because you will never receive it- just know what you deserve, and accept it when it comes along. God has your Prince Charming, or "knight in shining armor" coming when you're truly ready. For now, be thankful you have one-on-one time with God and pray for The Lord to bring your perfect match- He will provide.
