Same Song Different Verse
I've wanted to get married, but I've been looking for someone who will fulfill my needs and share my vision for ministry. This isn't necessarily bad, but it's not good for me either. I wonder if the single men I know could be "the one" for me, instead of thinking about whether not I am best suited to be a helpmate in their lives and the vision that the Lord has given them. The difference may be subtle, but it's there. If I'm going to marry it is because the Lord has created me to be a helpmate. If I don't marry, all I need is for the Lord to help me be content in him, to fill me with his love so that I don't feel unloved. He has blessed me beyond measure with friendships rooted in love. I need to stop believing the lie of this world that just because I'm single, I'm somehow unlovable. If I'm looking for love in someone else, I'm bound to be disappointed. No man can satifsy me need to be loved. Only Christ can satifsy.
