I know it's^ long, but please take the time to read it.
Saturday morning I woke up with that picture on my phone from a dear friend. The first thing I did that morning was read that and it changed my thought process.
I'm one of those girls who has always longed for love. I've always hungered for someone to "complete me". To find my "other half". But the combination of that picture and this have changed how I look at things.
It's not as if all of the sudden I'm ready for marriage, but now I know what I'm actually doing. Someday I will be married to the love of my life. He won't be my "other half" or "soul mate", but he will be the man God created me to be with.
I will never be happy if I'm expecting a man to fill me up. God is the only one who can do that. People will let me down, but God never will.
We can live without any specific person, but without God, we are nothing. People are gifts, not necessities. So, my job is to work towards the place where God is enough for me, and everything else will fall into place.
Whether you're single or in a relationship, you need to be where God is everything to you, as well.
Shalom,
