When thinking of my future and the type of person I want God to bring me of course, all the obvious traits begin running through my mind… Funny, outgoing, sincere, compassionate, giving and many others. Perhaps the most important trait is a man who doesn’t love me the most.

With so many of my friends getting engaged and married it’s hard not to imagine the man God has for me. Someone who not only puts up with my obnoxious laugh, but really tries to make me laugh because he knows its my favorite thing to do. Someone who won’t get too annoyed when I change the song before listening to it the whole way through. God definitely has his work cut out for Him finding someone who wants to put up with me for the rest of their life. But more than anything I want Him to bring me a man who doesn’t love me the most.

I want him to love God more than anything in his life.

I want him to be more excited about spending time with the Lord in private, than he is about us going on fancy dates.

I’m begging he spends more time in prayer with God than he spends wondering what I’m doing or how I am.

I pray he longs to know the Lord more and more every day in ways like never before, even more than he longs to know minor details about me.

Instead of calling me first when things are falling apart, I hope he first cries out to God for help and comfort.

When everything is looking up and it seems like life couldn’t get any better, I hope he praises God for his blessings before he ever thinks to celebrate with me.

I hope and pray more than anything, the love and passion he has in his heart for God outshines and burns brighter than the love he ever feels for me.

I know if he wants me to love him the best I can, then I simply can’t love him the most.

There is nothing I want more in a relationship than for it to be fully devoted and developed around our love for God. I know when we don’t love each other the most, then we will truly love each other the best.
