#2 Sign of A Godly Man!!!
He is Humble!
Picture
He is a humble man of God!  This is a rare characteristic that separates the men from the boys.  He’s confident, but not arrogant.  Now mind you, most men struggle with self-centeredness.  Why?  Society’s standards are embedded into young boys versus God standards. 

Young boys are told that being a man is being hardcore, insensitive, working hard, challenging others, and winning the game.  God standards say put others before you.  Do not think highly of one self.  God says treat others with love and respect.  In fact, be kind even to your enemy. 

When you find a man that has matured and now understands that God’s way is the only true way, you have met a gem.  A man that is humble will seek to please his wife first, and put his desires second.  He will be able to receive from his wife.  This is very, very important.  If a potential mate is unable to receive from you, this is a warning sign (beware). 

If a man is full of pride and don’t think a woman can tell him anything, your positive influence will be limited in his life.  The wife will experience severe frustration.  Husbands and wives in Christ are one.  They are a team.  Each person has strengths that enhance their lives and ministries.  A humble man of God will welcome his wife’s input and strengths with joy.

How important is having a husband that is humble?

 
 
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CORNIEST LINES YOU'VE EVER HEARD?  Go ahead and post it!  We are bound to get some good laughs!!!
 
 
With all the peer pressure to "just do it," what influenced you the most to choose abstinence?  Was it the church, salvation, your parents, or friends that influence you to begin a life of celibacy?  In my life, the church and my mom were instrumental in my decision to practice abstinence.  I remember my mom telling me that she married her 1st husband as a virgin.  At the time, my mother wasn't a Christian, but she hada  personal moral conviction.  My mom's story stayed with me, and I purposed in my heart as a teenager that I too wanted to have the same story to share with my daughter.  So when I became saved at 13, and I began to hear in the word of God that fornication is a sin against God, I became more and more convinced to live a life of purity.  I made a personal vow to follow God's word to avoid premarital sex.  I even shared this message through songs and dances in middle school by singing songs like, "you don't have to take your clothes off to have a good time." I made this decision a long time before I said "I do".  I had no idea of the different temptations that would come my way, but God is faithful!  So do share what made you decide to practice abstinence.  And if you haven't decided, please share what is holding you back from making this commitment.  

Wait 4 God's Best!  




 
 
Welcometo the Wait4God's Best blog.  I'm writing this blog with the hopes of encouraging teens, singles, men, and women to live a life of purity.  I know that practicing abstinence is not easy.  For 34 years, I practiced abstinence, and had times in my life where I thought of just giving in out of frustration and impatience.  I give God all the glory for keeping me.  I am so happy to say that I've been married for over a year to a wonderful man of God.  In keeping with the theme of my book, My Husband bought the whole Cow!  Be encouraged and wait for God's Best!
