Women of the Bible in real times: Rebecca, dating

Abraham's servant had a real challenge; to find a wife for Isaac, a rich young man, sole heir of his father, the promise of God.

The requirements were that the future wife of Isaac be a woman of the same faith, of course this includes qualities such as hardworking, strong, compassionate and a heart willing to serve.

Rebecca was a lovely single woman and had great qualities that called Gods’ attention. She was a virgin, she remained pure waiting for the man that God had prepared for her and she wasn’t worried or spent time crying because she was single, and she never exposed herself to men to get their attention. Instead she was very dedicated, hospitable, kind and loved to serve everyone.

The day of her blessing was near, but Rebecca needed to pass the test of fire. She knew nothing, but her attitude would make the difference. She was about to reap all she had sown.

When Eliezer, Abraham's servant, arrived tired from his long journey, he asked Rebecca for water, as always she was gracious and helpful, immediately she gave him water and his camels, demonstrating once again her servant's heart.

This attitude made her reach her blessing. Notice the detail: she served without ulterior motives, not knowing who he was and what his purpose was. She believed this was from God and her faith made her drop everything to go and meet her fiancé.

Have you thought that your fiancé may not be in the same city as you? Maybe he lives in another state or even in another country.

Do you feel discouraged because you do not see anyone who could be your other half?

Trust in God, He does amazing things.

But what are you doing to achieve the blessing in your love life?

Pay attention to the following tips:

* Are you looking for a husband, still acting like a woman of this world, or have you sought to acquire qualities that will really attract the man of God you are looking for, as Rebecca had?

* Never call the wrong kind of attention, trying to seduce him with your eyes or showing off your body, you must be gracious and discreet.

* If your heart is anxious and desperate, you may have taken hasty actions and you've been wrong again and again.

* Perhaps you have worried yourself too much with your beauty to get a husband, but do not forget the most important thing is character, your relationship with God, the man of God requires a woman of God, not just a pretty face.

* Something very important, you must find someone of the same faith, to marry an unbeliever can bring unhappiness and suffering to your life, be very careful when choosing. Better to let God choose, right? He is never wrong.

* If your dream is to do the work of God on the altar, take care of the people, love the people, have intimacy with God and He will take care of every detail of your life.

* Be honest, never do things with ulterior motives, to receive something in return, but do them because you really have a heart to serve, God knows the intentions of our heart.
