Lady of Security

Girls are always chasing after boys. I know girls who are constantly in a relationship or looking for one because they don't know how to function without a boyfriend. This chapter of the book was a little bit slow for me, mostly because i've never really been one of those girls. Sure, I've had crushes on boys but I never do anything past the crushing. I don't chase boys. I'm just living my life, knowing that someday he's going to come find me. However, it would be unfair of me to not blog about this chapter, because it IS important. It's talking about security.

Many girls need a boyfriend because they need to feel secure. God created little girls with a need to be loved and taken care of. This role is initially taken on by a girl's earthly father -- who is supposed to be the closest form of our heavenly father's love that we have in our lives. I lucked out in this department. I have the greatest daddy in the whole entire world. I feel 100% loved and safe and happy in my home. My dad makes me feel like I am the most beautiful, wonderful princess that has ever walked this earth. I love him. But not all girls are as blessed as I am. Some girls don't have a fatherly love, so they spend all of their time looking for that security elsewhere. Boys cannot fill that void. Only God's love can give you the security that you need and desire.

We, as women, can only see men from an outward "today" perspective. God can see men from an inward "eternity" perspective. He knows exactly who they are and which one is right for us. He has the 'inside scoop' and can get us the BEST guy out there. But we can't get in the way. We can't start manipulating and maneuvering our way into a guy's life when we don't even know if he is right for us! "God can and will give you His best if you wait for it."

We need to be secure in God's love. Earthly love may come and go, but God's love NEVER fails. Spend time with Him. Love Him. He wants to love you and need you and take care of you. He wants you to need Him. He wants to make you feel safe. Rather than hunting for a husband, concentrate on letting the Father bring His perfect plan to you. He knows what He's doing.

God is in love with you. The sooner you accept it, the better.
