Enough?

Enough?
"Listen, kid. A gold medal is a wonderfull thing. But if you aren't enough without it, believe me, you'll never be enough with it." --Cool Runnings

Assuming that once a relationship comes into your life it will make everything perfect is a very bad idea.
My life doesn't start once I finally get married--my life has already started. I want to soak up every day for all it's worth, not just wait around for things to be perfect. I want to enjoy each year of my life to the fullest.
A relationship is not meant to make us a whole person--only Jesus Christ can make us a whole person. Marriage should never become that gold medal we strive for that will finally make us "enough." We must learn to be "enough" right now, just as we are, in Christ alone.
While getting married someday may bring us great joy, we truly do have a reason to be happy and content no matter what season of life we are in--because of what Jesus Christ has done for us. True contentment can only be found in an intimate love relationship with the Lord, not in anything else, including a romantic love story. Singleness can teach us this contentment. In this season we can learn what it means to have peace and joy in Christ, no matter what our circumstances may be. And in a culture that is always longing for something more, "...godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Tim. 6:6 niv)

Yea, what you said. It's BEING the right person not finding the right person.

Amen! I couldn't agree more. If you aren't happy before you go into a relationship, you won't be happy in a relationship. Only Jesus can make you whole and complete. Depending on another human person to do that for you just sets you both up on a hard road.

Thanks for the post, pinpoint!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Yeah, I see soo many people thinking that marriage will "solve" their problems

makes me wonder if there's anybody left who ISN'T fooling themselves.

"You cannot make a deal with the devil and win," - me.

When/if I get married I don't believe that my wife will be the final answer...but another beginning.

I kinda picture it being like we're both a team going through life together. Experiencing stuff, teaching each other, and generally going through this adventure we call life together with lots of snuggles and kisses...


Oops, did I say that last part out loud???
