Next to following Jesus, there's not a more important decision than your choice of a mate. When Ruth Bell was a teenager, she was sent to school in Korea. Intending to become a missionary, she envisioned herself as a confirmed 'old maid' ministering to the people of Tibet. She did, however, give some thought to the kind of husband she might consider. Here's what she prayed for: 'Lord, he must be so tall that when he's on his knees he reaches all the way to heaven. His shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. His lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no and tender enough to kiss. His love must be so deep that it takes its stand in Christ and so wide that it takes in a whole lost world. He must be active enough to win souls, big enough to be gentle, great enough to be thoughtful and his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.' That's a pretty tall order! But Ruth did become a missionary to Tibet. And she did find a man worth marrying - Billy Graham. As his wife she became a missionary to the whole world! If you don't have a partner, consider the qualities you'd like in one and begin praying for them. That's right, pray! God knows who they are, and, when the time's right, He'll send them your way - if you'll just be faithful to Him!
