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

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

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
