I believe that the world has taught us to view love as a touchy feely sort of thing. The world often tells us that our worth comes from our looks and our relationships or how much "love" we are receiving from other people. As a girl we get tied up in wanting and waiting for our Knight in Shining Armor to come for us. James Barnett founder of Cloth Your Neighbor As Yourself recently posted this message:
Ladies, don’t wait for a knight on a white horse to come rescue you. Christ has already done that. No, find a man to make sure you stay on the horse you’re on. A man cannot give you your worth. He can only show it to you. A man cannot break you because you are not in his hands. You are in the safe and secure hands of God. It’s the man’s job to make sure you stay there. -James Barnett
I found this as a rather encouraging and refreshing reminder that we shouldn't settle for less but set our standards on something more noble than what the world tells us. To any guys who are reading this I challenge you to be the man that James Barnett addresses.
Love,
J
