~ not just any love Ü

I want a man, not just any man

I want God’s man, Hand-picked

Kingdom appointed, for such a woman as this…

I’m looking for a love, not just any love

I want the God kind of love

 

Filling a heart that beats to the kingdom’s rhythm

Unadulterated, Holy Spirit saturated

The kind of love that can’t be rated…

Poured out, running over

 

Like a water in a glass

Already full of good things

Smooth as silk, yet tough as rope

Wrapping around my soul

 

Keeping it all together forever

With room enough for me

To be a woman, not just any woman

God’s woman, whole and free

 

To love you, the way I want you to love me

With a love, not just any love

 

But the God kind of love

 

Rich as a sinful dessert

Pure as tried gold

 

The kind of love that can hold

 

Onto your hand and God’s at the very same time

Delivered from all other ties that bind

And yes

 

I’m free enough to wait…

For a man, not just any man

 

But the man who understands and knows what love means

and lives what God says…

And wants what I want

 

A real love

A strong love

 

A tall love

Agape love.

 

God’s love.

 

 

“Ten Commandments for Wives”

*just found this in the internet… and shared!!! 🙂 

 

1. Honor your own womanhood that your days may be long in the house which your husband provides for you.

 

2. Expect not your husband to give you as many luxuries as your father has given you after many years of hard labor and economics.

 

3. Forget not the virtue of good humor, for verily all that a man has will he give for a woman’s smile.

 

4. You shall not nag.

 

5. You shall coddle your husband, for truly every man loves to be fussed over.

 

6. Remember that the frank approval of your husband is worth more to you than the sidelong glances of many strangers.

 

7. Forget not the grace of cleanliness and good dressing.

 

8. Permit no one to assure you that you are having a hard time of it: neither your mother, nor your sister, nor your maiden aunt, nor any other relatives, for the judge will not hold her guiltless who permits another to disparage her husband.

 

9. Keep your home with all diligence, for out of it comes the joys of your old age.

 

10. Commit your ways unto the Lord your God and your children shall rise up and call you blessed.
