What makes a man? If your thirteen, probably his shirt. Sixteen, his car. Twenty-three, his job and how secure it is. Thirty-one, how well his marriage looks or how well disciplined his children are. Performance, position, possessions...
which is most important to you? If it's any of the three, prepare to be disappointed. In 1 Samuel 16:7 the Lord says to Samuel, "Do not look at his outward appearance or at his physical stature, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." What makes a man? A heart fully surrendered to Jesus. Every girl desires that a guy respect her and love her unconditionally, so ask yourself, how much of his heart belongs to the Lord? Don't expect him to do either of those things for a significant amount of time apart from a relationship with God which is the only true motivation for him to be the man he was created to be. I challenge you to think past the moment! Think past his shiny red car, spikey blonde hair, into his heart and his character, what will last long after his plaid shirt fades.
