Trait #1
You Will Be Attracted to Him
You know what they say, God don’t like ugly … OK, so the phrase refers to a
person’s behavior, not their looks; however, it’s a suitable quote for what
we’re about to discuss.
Believers are oftentimes encouraged to accept that looks shouldn’t matter
or be as important, to focus on the inside because that’s what counts. I agree.
Looks should not be the focal point when seeking a partner; however, they
shouldn’t be ignored. God isn’t trying to set you up with someone you’re not
attracted to.
Think about it?
Why would God want this? It’s an important piece of a romantic
relationship. It’s the reality of how things are; yet, attraction becomes the
excuse people use when they want you to settle or accept less. They’ll claim
you’re being “too picky”, and because they want you to rush to be with
someone, they’ll encourage you to overlook a lack of attraction.
For instance, if a person doesn’t want their looks used against them,
they’ll downplay the importance to avoid hurting their chances of being with
you. Family members and friends will dismiss it because they want to connect
you with someone they know may not be the most attractive in your eyes.
None of it means looks aren’t important, or that you should buy into the idea
that God wants you to be with someone you’re not attracted to.
Looks vs. Attraction
There’s a difference between looks and attraction. This is where I believe
a lot of people get confused. When saying, looks shouldn’t be important it’s
the specifics about a person’s physical attributes that you need to avoid. I
don’t believe you should have a list. If the requirements include this man
being six feet tall, with a specific hair and eye color, and a particular build,
then yes, that shouldn’t be so important. The package in which God will send
the person He has for you may not be what you expect, but the person will
have everything you need and attraction will be part of it.
So what’s the difference?
When two people have an attraction, it’s specific to the action or power of
sparking an interest, pleasure, or the like for someone or something. It’s the
force that draws a connection, which I’ll get into later on in the book.
There are different types of attraction. You can attract or be attracted to
