"I'll probably end up settling for someone I'm not attracted to because no one I like will want me."
How it sounds in your head: You're realistic—you're average looking at best, awkward, no real game. The girls you're actually attracted to are out of your league. You'll probably end up with whoever's willing to settle for you too, spending your life wishing you'd gotten someone you actually desired. Better to be realistic than disappointed.
"Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."
-- Psalm 37:4Enemy + trauma: defeat disguised as maturity, pre-rejecting yourself to avoid pain, lowering expectations and calling it wisdom.
The girls you find attractive don't notice you. The ones who show interest aren't the ones that excite you. The math seems simple—you'll get what you can get, not what you actually want.
Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance—and Jacob loved RACHEL. He worked seven years for the one he actually desired, refusing to settle for the 'realistic' option, and eventually got her.
I REFUSE the lie that I have to settle for someone I don't desire. IT IS WRITTEN that God gives me the DESIRES of my heart when I delight in Him—those desires aren't accidents or fantasies, they're God-given previews of what He's preparing. Attraction is not shallow when it's part of His design. IT IS WRITTEN in Song of Solomon 7:10 'I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me'—mutual attraction and delight are BIBLICAL, not superficial. I am Abraham's seed, and the BARAK blessing means I get the BEST, not the leftovers. Jacob refused Leah and worked for Rachel, the one he actually loved—God honors the desire He plants, and I'm not settling for less than His best.
The Father didn't give you desires just to mock you with them. He planted attraction in your heart as a COMPASS pointing toward His choice, and He's preparing a woman who will take your breath away—not because you earned her, but because He delights in giving good gifts to His children.
