How easy it is to take a "they are the ones missing out" attitude towards those who express lack of interest. Isn't that what we like to hear from our friends to whom we submit our "progress reports" on prospective significant others? We all want to maintain personal dignity and self-worth. Something to give us confidence to move forward, to be vindicated even from the most subjective kind of [d]evaluations.
The fact is, I am simply not good enough for anyone. Neither is anyone good enough for me. But each will be blessed even as we are made a blessing in God's giving. Our confidence, both for finding and keeping, is that it is all by His grace and promise. Not in our own self-worth.

Passing Thoughts
very true. may you realize the interest of a lady in God's perfect timing. my brother and his new wife have been given that gift.
i am still just learning how to embrace the Lord... perhaps one day i'll also be able to embrace one He gives to me in marriage... i rest in His grace.
