I’ve spent the years searching for her, making many mistakes~
False discoveries and soul ties, no longer can I risk take…
I’ve realized that my own emotions betray me~
Blinding my eyes, motioning to slay me…
No, I’m not crazy, but often in a confused state~
Like a homeless wino passing up an unused plate…
Of food, yes I am on the hunt for my missing rib~
Entering a journey where almost every Christian slips…
Listening to the soft still voice amidst all the distraction~
Following God and learning to stay in His traction…
Yes, He’s tracking the one whom I seek in due time~
But how will I recognize this one whose mine?…
So I ask Him to let her character of Godliness be revealed~
Now in this time of peace, my eyes’ scales are seen pealed…
I finally understand the qualities that I’ve been searching for~
A woman who considers the things of this world worthless scorn…
From the earth is formed a woman of love, joy, and gentleness~
Her goodness and faith show what sentimental is…
Not legalistic but she knows that all things aren’t expedient~
Willing to put off desires that are immediate…
She’d rather provide remediate for a depraved land~
Seeking to please the Lord and free slaved man…
She rejects the passions of this downtrodden society~
From sex, money, to fashion, she’s not down, but plod in propriety…
Ignored by most because she doesn’t follow the world’s trends~
She may not show it but there’s no end to this girl’s ends…
Treasure stored in heaven, consider her a diamond in the rough~
Woman of umatched virtue, shining in the tough-est…
Of circumstances, not excessive, rather modest in appearance~
But flawless in character because it’s God she’s adhering…
Mirrored in Christ’s image with a desire for holiness~
Avoids that which appears evil, her form is only His…
Careful in talk, she only speaks that which is edifying~
Telling truth even when it hurts instead of lying…
Submissive to her husband and regards his decisions~
And when he is fumbling, she guards and convicts him…
She has conviction to continually die to self~
Leave pride and wealth and putting “I” on shelf…
A lost diamond that’s perfect cut but not lavish either~
So I gotta ask… have you seen her?…
I thank you Lord for having revealed your standard of a wife to me and the specific characteristics and attributes that she will have. I realize that part of the reason as to why I have gotten caught up in premature emotional attachments is because I didn’t have a set standard layed out as to whom my wife should be. Now I will be careful and gentle with each diamond that comes my way, that represents my sisters in Christ by being obedient to God and the boundaries which He has set in place. I know that through observing the facets of your diamonds from a friendship level then you will reveal whom my wife is and I will not attach myself to another diamond that may look pretty, gleaming real nice, but is not the one which will give You ultimate glory. In all of this Lord, you know the desires of my heart to have a Godly marriage which is a ministry unto others and I trust and thank you for Your will having already been accomplished. In Jesus name. Amen
