"Godly guys don't exist - I'll have to choose between attraction and faith"

How it sounds in your head: The Christian guys seem boring or immature. The attractive guys aren't believers. You feel stuck choosing between chemistry and conviction, like you can't have both.

Ephesians 3:20

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us."

-- Ephesians 3:20
Enemy whispers: You have to choose between attraction and faith. BUT IT IS WRITTEN: Ephesians 3:20 - God is able to do EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY above all you ask or think. The Father doesn't do either/or - He does BOTH/AND in ways that blow your categories apart. He's not asking you to settle. He's preparing someone who will wreck your expectations.
Quick Truth: LIE: Choose attraction OR faith. TRUTH: God does EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY above all you think - BOTH/AND. (Eph 3:20)

Enemy creating false dichotomy to make you settle or compromise

Why this feels true:

The boys at youth group don't make your heart race. The boys who do aren't living for God. You've started wondering if you'll have to marry someone you're not attracted to just to stay in God's will.

Ruth 2:10-13; 4:13
Ruth

Ruth was a broke, foreign widow gleaning in fields when Boaz - a wealthy, godly, generous man - saw her and moved toward her with immediate favor. She went from scraps to MARRIED TO THE MAN in one harvest season.

Speak this out loud

I REFUSE the lie that godly guys don't exist or that I have to settle. IT IS WRITTEN that God is able to do EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY above all I ask or think. The BARAK blessing doesn't give me leftovers - it gives me the FATTENED CALF of God's best. Ruth was gleaning scraps when Boaz - godly AND generous AND attracted to her - found her and married her in one season. IT IS WRITTEN that no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. I don't have to choose between chemistry and conviction. My Father is preparing BOTH/AND in a package that will make me weep at His kindness. Godly, attractive, and FOR ME exists because God doesn't do boring.

But God actually:

The Father is running toward you with a BOTH/AND answer that will shatter your either/or categories. He's not asking you to marry someone who bores you - He's preparing a man after His own heart who will make yours race, and the wait is His KINDNESS, not His withholding.
