Movie Quote:
Sally Owens "What would you do, Gilly?"
Gillain Owens "What wouldn't I do... for the right guy?"
I think this is a quote that summarizes many peoples' feelings about a relationship. That they would do anything, become anything, give up anything for the right/perfect person. But what would they ask of you? And what things would you be willing to give that they would never ask? Would you turn yourself into someone else just to be with the "right" person. And I'm not talking about personal growth and improvement, which I hope all good relationships encourage. But I am talking about a denial of the personality and gifts that God has given to appease someone who does not appreciate the work that God has done. So would you wear a mask and conceal your heart and soul to be with the "right" person? Would you do that? Would you become that? What would you give up for the "right" person? Would you compromise yourself, your heart, mind, and body to keep someone who would never have respected those lines in the first place? Would you give up your voice and go silent and never call that "right" person into account or warn them that they are heading to destruction? Would you give up your relationship with God? Would you through away every promise that God has given as He asks you to walk in faith and trust and wait on Him? All for the perfect person?
What would you do?...for the right guy?
I wouldn't give up my King, my Savior, the Lover of my soul. I know that if he is the "right" man, he would not ask these things of me. And if he did, I pray God would give me the strength to say no.
Ps 106:20 They exchanged their Glory for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
How ridiculous is that! And yet, how many of us daily exchange our Glorious God and our relationship with Him, for the image of something that is a lie and is so insignificant.
Would you give up you Glory?...for the "right guy?"
