What Makes A GB [Part 2]

I hope you remember this chart:

Before reading this, I really recommend you to read the part 1 first. It discussed the quote. This entry however is not talking about How to be a GB. It talks about the three principles in life that would guide us for a healthy relationship, which is God’s Best for both of you.

Let’s talk about the triangle principle.

FRIENDSHIP – is one of the foundations. You need to be very great friends with him/ her. The person must be your ONLY best friend in the opposite gender.

RESPECT - this foundation has a large scope in our life. Some people don’t have this with each other so it’s easy for them to do crazy things together and to each other.

PASSION - now this is much harder to explain because it’s vague, most of the time not quantifiable -emotions. Usually, this is the “hardest to find/come” among the three.

In order for your relationship to last, these tree must be present in your relationship.

Some people have FRIENDSHIP and RESPECT, but don’t have PASSION. You know these people are JUST FRIENDS.

Some have FRIENDSHIP and PASSION but don’t have RESPECT. This is where usually “one night stand” comes in the picture. They don’t respect each other, but they like each other.

Some have PASSION and RESPECT, but don’t have FRIENDSHIP. These are the people who have great admiration for someone but don’t have any means to bond with the person they admire. Usually models that you see in TV or wherever. You like and respect her, but you’re not friends with her.

If these three are present, then that would be a great relationship.

I will explain the OBEDIENCE segment in What Makes A GB [part 3].

What makes a GB? [part 1]

Remember the “triangle principle” and the quote above.

First let’s discuss the quote.

If for example: your mom asked you to clean your room, but you didn’t, then you asked for another chore to do, and then she found out you didn’t do the first task. Do you think she’ll give you a new one? I don’t think so.

You might think that’s a bad example, because no one would actually do it. That’s the point. But the truth is, we’re actually doing it.

Many of us ask God to reveal “the person” to us. Why do you think He would, if in the first place, you have not been doing the things He revealed to you at first? Your first GB is written in his Word: “God’s will [God's Best] is for you to be holy…” (1 Thess 4:3).

If we are not in the process of pursuing holiness, then we are not in the right place to expect God’s blessing to move us toward another “God’s Best”. Remember, it’s not a person -it’s a series of God’s standard that we should follow continually to experience life at it’s best.

Looking for an ideal man?

If you’re a woman and you really want to marry someone who is really spiritually mature, financially dependable, emotionally stable, and a bonus of physically attractive, then here is my very helpful tip for you:

...above all else

Because someone who has the qualities you’re looking for, will not pursue you if you don’t love Jesus above all else. Believe me, “We attract our own kind“.

PS: Can be applied vice-versa.
