All I Need

[Living4Him03]

I was just listening to the radio and this song came on with lyrics that go something like "Jesus you are all I need, you are all I need"

Lately, I've been trying to figure out what to do. I am interested in possibly dating/getting to know several guys, but I don't think it's fair to date more than one guy at a time. One of the guys is in the military. Anyway, I've just been so confused and wondering if they like me and which one should I date if they ask me out and just worrying over basically nothing. God has showed me today through a conversation I had with one of them that 1. Good things take time, so developing a friendship with these guys is NOT a bad thing 2. Going dateless is really not so bad 3. God has PERFECT timing for every aspect of our lives 4. Seek first His kingdom and all shall be added 5.* MOST IMPORTANTLY* Jesus is all I need...He is more than enough!

I kept trying to figure out which guy I wanted to know the most when really honestly it's Jesus! Above all I desire to be a Godly woman...a woman after God's own heart. If that means I don't go on dates and I dont' have guys interested in me or whatever, so be it!

Relationships with the opposite sex don't fulfill us. They never ever will. They simply can't, even in marriage. Only Jesus can and will do that! I just wanted to share this with all the other dateless waifs out there in hopes you will be encouraged by what God has been showing me lately.

I dont know Im always a little skeptical when I see things like this! Know matter how close I tried to get, Ive always felt something missing. So I think back to the story of Adam. Him and God had a relationship that none of us quite have. God used to take form and walk with Adam, can you imagine the conversations they had? But still Adam was lonely, and God realized it wasnt meant for man to be alone. Thus we have woman, and a burning desire for companianship. It has always been like that, and probably always will.

The important thing is, of course, to follow both God's lead, and your heart. So long as you have God in your life, guiding your path through the years, you will know what God wishes for you. If you are interested in dating, date; if you aren't, don't. Remember that marriage is part of God's plan for His children-- there's nothing wrong or unGodly about marriage at all. (In fact, He loves it when we honor His commands, and be fruitful and multiply!)

In the end, you have to do what God tells you to do. If you aren't lonesome enough to be interested in a relationship, so be it. But if you want one, go for it-- so long as it's handled in a Godly manner, of course (i.e. no premarital sex, etc. etc. etc.)

There are days where I am not terribly lonesome-- and there are days where I am so lonely I could cry. I wish for a relationship myself, but I know that God will guide me and my destined woman-- whoever she may be-- on intersecting paths, at His pace. I think marriage, and the Godly union of man and woman, is one of the most beautiful things in all His creation, and I look forward to a happy married life some day. But I am not worried, and neither should you be. God will provide, in the end.

God bless you and help you to make the right decisions!

It sounds like there may be several possible glitters on the horizon for you. Don't worry about making choices, though. Be friends with all of them, and rely on God to show the one He has chosen for you (if it actually is any of them; I mean, sorry to crash the party, but I'm just being realistic). Just be careful that you don't find yourself in the "well, if I decide to talk to this guy then I'm closing the doors on these other ones" mentality. You'll drive yourself nuts that way!

I'm getting a feeling of deja vu. Did I tell you you'd drive yourself nuts over something else before?

Sorry I was at work and was trying to reply during a busy spell, if my post seems out of place :o
