I have been in that place before where a man didn't think that I was the ONE. The fool ended up marrying someone else that CHEATED ON him and now they are divorced. Since its been many years he now says that he should have married me. But that door has been closed because I now know that God saved me from a man that didn't know who he was and surely not who he is in Christ.
Fast forward: Now that I have re-directed my life and the way that I see and expect a relationship to be I view them differently. Because I am a Christian I have a different outlook on the way relationships go. I believe that there is a man out there that was created just for me and that when God sees fit to join our lives that is when I will marry. We as women have to understand that we can't make a man our " Assignment" Proverbs 18:22 says: He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD so we have to let them find us and if he doesn't feel that I am the one then eventually he will leave me when he does. A friend once told me "when a man wants you NOTHING will keep him from you" so in my singleness I wait for the man that will give me that "Agape Love". I want to be loved "from my soul out" not from what "he sees in"...does that make sense (smile). I figure if God can part the Red Sea he can lead this "missing rib" to the body I am fashioned from.
For those who may not know what Agape is:
Agape is pronounced "ah-GAH'-pay". It is a Greek word. Found first in the biblical New Testament, agape expresses the spiritual, not physical, love of God for his people. It is an unconditional love and concern for others. Agape is a love that accepts everyone for who they are. This is the same love that God expressed for us through the death of Jesus Christ, His Son (1 John 4:9,10). It is a selfless love.
