At 32 years of age, I have been blessed to witness the numerous births and marriages of my family members and friends. I'm thrilled for each of their blessings. God is good! Yet, there is a longing within me wanting my own husband and my own children. My desiring for him and looking for him has caused me to look away from the One that is mine already. The Holy Spirit gave me insight in what I need to be doing instead of looking for. I should be married to Christ and not worry about my husband...he will come in time.
It's true ladies. I think many of us have the "Cinderella" mindset of marriages and children. We fantasize about our happy ending. We get tangled by what we want that we fail to realize what we need. What I mean by marrying Christ, I mean giving Him all of you. Don't allow yourself to be separated from Him. After all, we are His bride.
I have spent numerous times thinking about who my husband is and how our life will be and what our babies names will be (Esperanza, Israel, Faith, Grace, Hannah, Paul...etc). I call this "Never Never Land". I should have been thinking about how to improve my relationship with Christ. How do I improve it? How much am I giving myself to Him? Do I love Him & Him only?
People, if this was The Scarlet Letter, I would have to wear an A on my shirt. Why? Because I have cheated on Christ. I have left Him, seeking a man when I should have been seeking Him. I have thought that the love of man is more than than the love of the Man. I have waited on a man to come when I should have been waiting for Him to come. I have thought of him when I should have thought of Him.
I think we are getting point. For you ladies that are waiting on him, don't. Wait on Him. Look for Him. Cling to Christ. Marry Jesus. I guarantee you, if you put your focus in on Him and everything on Him, you will be satisfied and will feel the love that no man could ever give you. Plus, Jesus will supply all of your needs.
Your Sister in Christ,
Mary
