Who Are You Desiring?

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Who Are You Desiring?
99PCWallPapers

Often times when we want a man in our life is when we see others with one. It reminds us that we are "lonely and without". I was with a group of girls and someone brought this up, "Love when you are ready, not when you are lonely." Song of Solomon 8:4 says the same thing, "...I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."
A guy can not fix that hole in your heart that is desiring something, only God can. Humans are faulty sinful people. We make mistakes and when others make mistakes against us we never fully forgive and forget, but God is perfect.
All of these things that we are wanting in a guy is only temporary and will not last in eternity, but God's love lasts forever.

A man is not made to complete you, he is made to compliment you.

Why do you desire to find a significant other? How can God meet those desires in your life?
Beverly in, "Lady in Waiting", tells us best.


I want to be loved.
"...I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. " Jeremiah 31:3

I want someone to adore me.
The King has brought me into his chambers to adore me. My lover is outstanding among 10,000. Song of Solomon 1:4: 5:10

I want someone to hold my hand.
"...I will uphold you with My righteous hand." Isiah 41:10

I want to be accepted and valued.
I am accepted in the Beloved. Ephesians 1:6

I want help in my days of trouble.
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble: I shall rescue you..." Psalms 50:15

I want to share my life - the joys and the struggles - with one person.
God will share with me the treasures of darkness and hidden riches. Isiah 45:3

I want a champion of my causes - one who is willing to fight for me.
"The Lord will fight for you..." Exodus 14:14

I want someone to meet my needs.
God is meeting all of my needs. Philippians 4:19

I want intimacy.
The Lord is intimacy with the upright. Psalms 140:13

I want someone to help me in life.
There is no one like God who rides the heavens to help you. Deuteronomy 33:26

I want to walk through life sustained and carried. I do not want the whole load of life.
Even to my old age, God will sustain me, carry me, and rescue me. Isiah 46:4

I want a companion for this life.
God invites us to humbly walk with him. Micah 6:8


Only God can meet the deepest needs and desires of your heart. A man may do it temporarily, but God will do it for eternity.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
