Falling in love with God

So, you know how most girls these days say something along the lines of, "There just aren't any good guys anymore." or "Guys today suck."? I hear this all the time, and for a while, I was that girl. But I've had the good fortune to meet some of the good guys. They're out there.Just a little word to the girls out there: Do you know why you're not finding these guys?

You're not looking in the right place.
You say you're looking for a guy that will treat you with respect? For a guy that will be nice to you? For a guy that will be sweet?
Go find the Christian guys. Now, I'm not saying that every guy that calls himself a Christian is truly a good guy, or will treat you the way you deserve. But when you find a guy who is truly in love with Jesus, he'll treat you the way you want to be treated.When you find a real man, a true man of God, you'll fall for him not because he's cool, not because he is handsome, but because he is in love with Jesus.

He'll make you want to be more like Christ. He'll make you want to be more than you are. He'll push and challenge you, make you uncomfortable with staying the same in your faith. He'll be so in love with God that you're drawn to God yourself.

And guys, don't let that scare you. Girls need that role model in their life! We need someone who will push us, who will lead us toward God's love, someone we can walk with. We expect that out of you, because that's what God created you to do.

That's a single girl's opinion on why a lot of relationships fail. I think people get married for the wrong reasons: looks, money, etc., and they burn out because Jesus isn't the center of that relationship. As for me, I'm going to wait for the man that will push me, help me grow, and love me by loving God more.
