The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
-Jeremiah 17:9
I woke the other day to an apartment of couples that had just spent the night together and suddenly instead of feeling envy of having someone of the opposite sex to share my life with, I found myself thanking the Lord that I was single in this season of life and that He had filled that void in my heart.
I heard something recently I'd like to share here:
"Girls, there are Christians everywhere, don't settle for just a Christian,
go find someone that's foundation is Jesus.
Find someone you know will hit their knees and look up in times of need,
someone you have no doubt is after the Lord's own heart."
This is so incredibly important.
How often do we waste time or affections
on pursuing relationships with people that aren't seeking the Lord?
I know I have, years worth of waste, they were lessons but I know better than to repeat them again.
So now, I find comfort knowing that though, my own heart deceives me with lustful, wasteful desires but that the spirit in my soul is after something much better: The Lord and that through God's Truth, I will find another.
We cannot rejoice unless we are encouraged and uplifted, we are sinning to be wasteful.
Moses warns us to live as though our days are numbered because though we don't know the exact number, we are on a short timeline here on Earth.
Eternity is awaiting us, who will you allow to fulfill you in the mean time?
I hope it's Christ as #1 and someone significant after that, who shares your values and claims you behind Jesus too.
