Ladies, I know we're all searching for love. There's a reason we have the stereotype of watching "The Longest Ride," "The Vow," and "The Notebook." (Honestly anything with a romantic subplot is great literature when we start bingeing on Ben and Jerry's XD ). We want that all consuming love that only comes from the one God has made for us. We want to be held, protected, cherished, and deeply, incredibly, (did I mention deeply?) loved. But now we're willing to settle for who we think we want rather than who God has for us, who we need. We don't want to, but we're almost, not quite, but almost convinced that we have to. God will give us someone patient and kind. Give us someone who completely accepts our habits that we hate, and our horrible hair days. Give us the kind of love that will bring us to heaven. The kind of marriage with him at the center, a love so strong it imitates the Trinity, true love itself. We are told we have to take what we get and what we see. So, so not true. We call men to a higher standard, we have a power inside of ourselves that men are drawn to, that they will chase after, fight and compete for. We are awesome. We are beautiful, kind, funny, smart. We are worthy of unimaginable love. We deserve men who will protect our hearts, keep us emotionally chaste. We need to remind our sisters in Christ that we deserve a heck of a lot more than what we're getting, and remind ourselves that we are worthy of love that would die for us, and He did. So please don't ever forget, whether you're on the "hot list" or "not list", whether you're the one all the guys chase after or you're never asked to a dance, you are awesome and you have a heart worth protecting. Don't forget it.
