"Dating is hopeless because men only want one thing and godly guys don't exist."
How it sounds in your head: Every guy you've talked to eventually just wants nudes or to hook up. Even the 'Christian' guys at youth group have wandering eyes and porn habits. Maybe godly men are a myth sold by pastors who got married in 1987 before dating apps ruined everything.
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
-- Jeremiah 29:11Source: enemy using cynicism and past betrayals to destroy hope and convince you that integrity is extinct.
You've been burned by guys who said the right things but had wrong motives. Even guys who quote Scripture have hurt you or used you.
Boaz was a wealthy man of integrity in a culture full of corruption. He saw Ruth gleaning and immediately protected her, provided for her, and respected her—without demanding anything in return. Godly men existed then in corrupt times, and they exist now. God brought Ruth to the RIGHT field on the RIGHT day. Divine appointments still happen.
I REFUSE the lie that all men are trash and godly guys don't exist. IT IS WRITTEN that God's thoughts toward me are of peace and hope, to give me a future. I am not subject to cultural decay or generational brokenness. The BARAK blessing is on my life, and that includes divine appointments with people of integrity. IT IS WRITTEN that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all I ask or think. I will not let cynicism steal my hope. God made the man He has for me, and His timing is perfect.
The Father isn't shrugging at the state of men in your generation. Like Ruth, He can bring you to the right field at the right time where a Boaz is waiting—integrity intact, provision ready, respect guaranteed. Godly men aren't extinct; they're just not always loud.
