My Knight In Shining Armor

I LOVE the disney princess movies. I always have. I just love the fairy tale dreams about love. But being a girl, I think sometimes we search for love in places that don't/can't fulfill us.. like our parents, our friends, and most commonly boys... How do I know? Well because I've been there, and back again. When I moved to Texas it suddenly became important to me for guys to like me. Why? I'm still not sure. But I never felt like I was enough, good enough, pretty enough, skinny enough, unless I knew there was a guy who thought I was. Time always tells, and eventually my heart was broken, over and over again. And when that happens it's like it left a hole bigger than the one that started. Being a christian already I knew what God's word had to say about my heart. 


In Proverbs 4:23 God says; Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.


OH how true that is. But sometimes I still crave that fairy tale, that knight in shining armor, the one that will come, whisk me away, fight for me. And recently someone pointed out to me the ultimate knight in shining armor. JESUS HIMSELF!


Revelation 19:11 say; Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.


How amazing it is to know I can still have my fairy tale! And to think it comes from a king who will NEVER let me down. Now that's something! So awhile ago, I decided I wanted God to be the guarder of my heart, the knight who fought for me. And Maya Angelou's quote explains it perfectly, "A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ, that a man should have to seek him first to find her." The great part about this saying is it reminds me that it's not my job to seek after the man, that's not what God wants. God wants to protect me, he wants to stand guard, quiz the man a little bit like my dad would before he'll let him to me. And this way, I'll know that if the man goes through God to get to me, he's definitely the one for me. :) 


My knight in shining armor is perfect! And He wants to come to rescue YOU too!
