"Singleness is the perfect time to practice getting to know who you are in Christ so you can bring your very best to a relationship, marriage, and parenthood. Marriage is not an identity. It defines our relationship status, not who we are. We are cherished daughters of the heavenly Father—that is our identity. He loves us and desires a relationship with us. He pursues us to no end. He wants us. No matter how amazing our future husbands will be, Jesus will always love us even more—that’s really amazing. Instead of the ultimate pursuit of dating, let’s strive for the ultimate pursuit: Jesus." (Mars Hill Church)
Any Thoughts?
I think that's great. Its so easy to think that you'll be different when you "finally" meet someone. In reality, we end up being ourselves and bringing all the good and bad with us.

DeleteI use to catch myself doing that too but I thank God I stopped!!
ReplyDeleteI love that quotation and it is so true. Over the last year God has been showing me how all the various things and people I have placed my security and identity in will always prove incapable of providing fulfillment. Fulfillment and security can and will only come from Him.
