Divine comfort

A few days ago I received a comment on my post in another blog. It is reposted below. It seems that it doesn't tell anything new, but for that evening it was something... Something for me who was falling into desperation about certain part of my life. I don't remember what I was about when I was writing that post (it was long time ago), but the answer was given to my current question ("Maybe I should do something myself?..). I burst to tears, and it was because of God's greatness, goodness, and care and love for me. He IS real, He IS answering the questions and need when YOU think everything is lost... I couldn't hold the joy and thank Him for every comforting word He gives me directly or through other people.

ONE MAN'S TRASH IN ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE

The man that treats you like trash is ignorant of your worth and who he is and his role to you. He is not even worth you or your time. Let him go and let the man of God that God has molded (or may be still molding) just for you, find you. He will know your worth and treat you as such according to this wisdom. You will be a treasure to him.

God's Word says, "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life." (Proverbs 31:10-12)

What is a virtuous woman? Virtuous is defined (in the Encarta Dictionary) as:
1. with moral intergrity; having or showing goodness or righteousness
2. chaste; not having sexual intercourse with anyone except a partner in marriage, especially a husband (as Christians we know that it should ONLY be in marriage)

After reading this definition, can you attribute this adjective to yourself? If so, continue pleasing your Lord. If not, this is to be your aim as a Christian woman in mind, body and soul.

The Bible tells us, "Who so findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD." (Proverbs 18:22) Y

OU are to be sought after. YOU are to be chased. YOU are to be found. Not vice versa. You sit still and seek God first. Is it easy waiting? NO! But what God has in store is so worth the wait. That's what I continually remind myself.

The Lord does not cast His pearls to swine. You are a pearl to the Lord. If you give Him your heart and set His destiny in your hands, He will not give you over to a man that does NOT FERVENTLY seek the heart of Christ and love the Lord. God is protective of His children and your heart. So don't settle for what the enemy puts in your way. If this man does not reflect Ephesians 5 (especially verse 25!) or aims to live that way, don't even bother. Be encouraged my sisters.
