Most of us have an expectation, preconceived notion, and a checklist of what we desire in a spouse, and for the most part, they begin with the physical appearance, economic status/financial stability, etc. then we get to the parts about them being loving, faithful, honest, trusting & trustworthy, and unfortunately, until we grew/grow spiritually, their relationship with God wasn't/isn't a factor on our lists. See those checklists we have though... God often has what's totally different in store for us; not so much of what we want, but ALL that we need. Periodically, we should go back over our lists, rewrite them according to God's desires for us, and according to our needs, as opposed to our wants. We may just come up with a completely different & much less complex person than we had in mind.
"
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:8-11 (NKJV) #SeekHimFirst
