A man of God will make it known to his partner that he loves God more than anything else in the world. He will love God more than he could ever love any other human. His relationship with God will never be compromised for a human relationship and that is what makes him so special.

A man of God will not pull Bible verses out of his back pocket and recite them in order to impress other people. He will not google verses that he can use at his discretion. He will feel no pressure to prove to anyone that he is a Christian and has studied the Bible because his actions and words have already made it known that he is living through Christ.

A man of God will not allow for his partner's relationship with their faith to be compromised the same as he would not allow his own faith to be compromised. His partner's faith journey is just as important to him as his own, if not more important.

A man of God will recognize that he is called by God to use his life in giving glory to Christ. He is not called by God to make money and to maintain expensive possessions. He will recognize those things as blessings and as things that come second. First and foremost is using his life to give glory to Christ.

A man of God will never establish a physical relationship before an emotional or spiritual relationship. He will recognize that physicality is a beautiful gift from God that stems from an emotional relationship. He will also recognize that a physical relationship is not and never will be a necessity in any relationship with his partner.

A man of God will never pressure his partner into a physical relationship, nor will he be pressured into a physical relationship. He recognizes that in order for that relationship to begin, both people must have had time to prayerfully consider the relationship.

A man of God does not date somebody without having the intent to marry. He recognizes that the relationship may not end in marriage, but he knows that the act of dating is a test to see whether or not this person is fit for marriage.

A man of God is humble.

A man of God is kind.

A man of God does not just take his partner's hand, he continuously lifts them up in prayer.

A man of God does not just walk with Jesus through a relationship, he lives through Jesus during a relationship.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
