Man of My Dreams

Devotinal for 2/11/11

Man of My Dreams

best friend
understanding - caring - loving

compassionate - sensitive - patient

supportive - protective

you who can always make me laugh

like to be playful

beautiful inside and out

okay to be real - to be myself around

trustworthy willing to listen -really listen - to me

humble

full of integrity

saying beautiful things to me

a great father

sharing his deepest thoughts and secrets

someone to feel safe with

who knows me so well

that he can tell when I am hurting

and then show compassion and tenderness

accepts me - just the way I am

and most of all is someone who

...would love the Lord with all his heart

...would place Him in the center

of our home and lives

and our world.

Yes, for sure, this would be the perfect husband. Raise your hand if this is a description of your husband.

If you raised your hand then I compliment you. I wrote this poem and yet I must admit that my husband does not possess all these attributes. Still he is wonderful and loving. His love language is service. I have not made my own morning coffee for years.

Not many are perfect, but if you can say that your husband possesses a number of these virtues then PRAISE THE LORD! It is our duty as wives to pray for our husbands and support them in every way that we can. Do you pray for your husband? To do so is to help him come close to that person who is as near to perfect as can be found in this life.

The same goes for you wives: Be good wives to your husbands,

responsive to their needs. There are husbands who, 

indifferent as they are to any words about God,

will be captivated by your life of holy beauty. What matters

is not your outer appearance—the styling of your hair,

the jewelry you wear, the cut of your clothes—

but your inner disposition.  

Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in.

The holy women of old were beautiful before God that way,

 and were good, loyal wives to their husbands.

Sarah, for instance, taking care of Abraham,

would address him as "my dear husband."

You'll be true daughters of Sarah if you do the same,

unanxious and unintimidated.

1Peter 3:1-6 (MSG)
