I was thinking about how our society puts such a huge emphasis on finding that "someone special." We hear about it in songs. We hear about the perfect ones, the ones who mess up and the ones who will only "be friends. We see it in TV shows. And we have all seen the romantic comedy with the strong, independent women who "don't need no man" then she meets some cutie in a bar and they fall head over heels for each other, only to be torn apart by some incident. But every movie ends the same way. She always ends up with him in the end.
I love romance movies as much as the next person, but in a way I believe they set women up with this false expectation that they need some handsome prince charming to come in and rescue them. Or they set us up to believe that we, as women, can't be single. We get this notion that we need a man to complete us. They give us unrealistic expectations for a man. Hollywood portrays the perfect gentle man who will solve every problem we may ever face.
If I can be honest, the perfect man doesn't exist on this earth. I am not bashing on marriage or dating, if you have found the perfect one, GOOD FOR YOU! (I actually think it is absolutely beautiful ;)!!) That is how God designed it. But for those of us who are still searching, I want to tell you that you aren't going to find the perfect prince charming. Love isn't just about finding the one who is your better half. It's about sacrifice. It's about finding the one who God picked for you before you were even born, and understanding that just like you, he will have flaws too. But despite his flaws, he is going to be absolutely perfect to you! I am not saying settle for someone, I am simply encouraging you to lay aside the idea that Matthew McConaughey is going to come to your rescue and make your life a fairy tale.
And when you find him, never let him go. Cherish the love that God designed for the two of you.
HE IS OUT THERE! Be patient and wait for God to bring you together.
