This man

A woman longing for Life in a world of depravity is best suited with a man who is able to understand this need within her. To understand that at any given moment, she should hope to leave him and all the world behind in order that she may bring the Lord His glory.

This man will desire to bring his bride close to Wholeness with God, without judgment or disdain. This man will not be condescending to her, but rather soft and gentle about her misguided ignorance. This man will be humble about his success, and would seek no crown. For nothing in him alone is good or deserving. This man will find hope in his suffering. This man will search for beauty in his pain. This man will be hated by his friends, but loved by Jesus. This man will lift up his bride, lift her when she can no longer stand. He would never dream of treating her unkind. Of giving her the anger of the world to carry on her back. And she will never stand alone. This man will delight in treating his bride with love and kindness. This man will revel in her crinkled nose when she smiles and think to himself, how beautiful is this? And he will thank His God for little gifts like these. And she will do the same. This man will not see her for her past, but for who she is because of God's redemption. This man is made for me.
