My Beloved Sister, before we go on, let’s pause and talk about this King you are preparing for.
Every woman has (or had) this dream guy, a perfect guy that would come to her rescue someday. Please do not feel concerned that you want that man of your dreams. Maybe one or more heartbreaks have eroded you of any further thoughts about this dream guy. Maybe the man in your life is the opposite of all you’ve ever dreamed of. Maybe you came close to this dream guy and he slipped away. Or maybe, he is just the one in your life right now. He can exist under the right conditions (a discussion for much later).
Your King is not a perfect man. He is human like you, with weaknesses, flaws and shortcomings. He is not like anyone else so please do not compare him with anyone. He is unique and great since he is created by God. Please review your checklist of your ideal man and be sure you are not expecting perfection from him.
You will need to learn to look beyond physical and material things to see your king from the view of God. Only then can your king be perfect. Then you will be able to accept him and love him for who he is.
One example I would like to share with you: - There is this lady who comes from a strong Christian home but had a proposal from a young man who came from a Muslim family. Everyone advised her not to respond positively to that proposal. But she saw that man through the eyes of God. She saw a man passionate about God irrespective of his background. She saw a man who had integrity and was responsible. Today she is happily married to him, who is a role model for fathers and husbands.
Now you are clear that your king is not perfect and not exactly your fantasy (might be better, might be worse from your human perception), let’s move on to Lessons from Esther in preparation for your king.
