It's him! ::dreamy sigh:: The one we've been waiting for. He's the brave and mighty hero. We swoon at the thought of him. He will whisk us away and fulfill all of our dreams. He is our happily ever after. We dream about him, fantasize about how he will look (will he be tall, dark, and oh-so-handsome?), and just how he will sweep us off our feet. "Yes, some day my prince will come!" our hearts sing.
Yes it's true, we do have a prince who is coming for us, and when he comes he will be coming in on the clouds with great glory to gather his own. It's going to be an awesome event, so get ready. ;-)
Shame on us for putting this sort of hope in our brothers, who with this hope of being our everything set on them will always fall short. Only Christ can be that Prince that we've been longing for our whole lives, the One who can make us whole. The One who cherishes us and calls us to be His special bride. Hope placed on him is rightly done so, because it's a sure hope.
"A husband is a brother you choose."
The significant other. We will love them greatly, and they will love us, but they will not fulfill the deepest longing in your or my heart. There is only One who can do that, He's the One that paid the ultimate price for you and I. The lover of our souls. His name is Jesus Christ. No, no one can love us like Him or give us what we're looking for (that is, what our hearts are seeking). Do you know Him? Doing you really know Him? Seek and you shall find Him, your True Prince.

so true! thank you for this reminder :]
Yeah... I don't know what I'm doing on "authentic beauty" but hey, i like your post.
But yer right, the only thing that can really satisfy us is Christ. And that dude you meet one day won't be perfect. and although he can love you... Christ already loved you - to death.
Haha, that's what I'm likin' right der!
Thank you Abby :)

I found your blog by accident...love your message of Christ!
Your post is greatly needed because I think lots of women are looking for a man that can please them, rather than finding true peace in God through Jesus.
Keep up the hard work! Youre doing a great job.
"A husband is a brother you choose."
Well-stated.
