Gems In Disguise!

Remember that Jesus, because he became a man in the incarnation, looked like other men. He rather blended into the crowd. In fact, He was broke as far as anyone knew. No fabulous wardrobe. He said he didn't have any place to lay his head. He had to go fishing to pay his taxes. He didn't have a regular job. Yet he was the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords in the form of a common man. Is this someone you would have been interested in?
If that isn't an object lesson, I dont know what is. Many a woman was drawn to him. Why? He was caring, sensitive, wise, strong yet gentle, perceptive to their deepest and most secret desires. He touched them in a way no other man had. He was understanding, not condemning, of their mistakes, and they knew he loved them. He was willing to die for them.
Now this is a Man that I could LOVE! Why don't we meet more men like that? Perhaps because they don't come in the package  we want or expect. We overlook them everyday. Decent, hardworking, quiet, unglamorous men......hmmm. Gems in disguise that could use the polish of a woman's touch. Have you ever noticed that married men are more attractive than single ones? Their wives all say the same thing, "he wasn't like that when i got him!" Stop looking for the ready made package.
And guys.......please can you just allow the ladies to see you as you are, and don't try impressing! It might work for a short while, but most definitely not Forever!

Appearance Can Be Deceptive!

You ask for a cup of water. I give it to you in a cup that you would not have selected. Will you not drink? Don't confuse the water with the cup. The water is what you need and desire. The cup can be cleaned up, painted, or changed. If we want to look out for our prospective husband/wife in their physical appearance today; we just might make the greatest mistake ever in our lives!!!
