“Only God can complete you”

“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power”
- Col 2:10

While Christian singles wait on God to be bless them with a person worthy of dating or for a long term relationship and possibly even marriage, there are some things you should know. People often tell me how distraught they are with dating, waiting, unlucky in love and hoping to someday meet Mr. or Mrs. Right. People are looking for a wife or a husband so that they can live their Cinderella story. Some are perplexed and stressed with finding their soul mate. From all the stories I have heard, I have so many case studies that I could write a book on the subject for that matter. Going back a few years, I have spoken with many Christian who are single that feel as though their life is incomplete until they find their soul mate. Some believe that their life is empty and is devoid of gratification.

People think that finding their prince or princess will complete them. People think that having a mate will solve all their problems. I know people who’s only goal in life is to be married. They want a ring placed on their finger. Many are waiting on God to fulfill their dream of the house with the white picket fence, the wife or husband, kids and a dog named Spot. People simply want to feel alive. Some even think that marriage is the end all! Wrong! While having it all is not unattainable, it should never be ones goal in life. My recommendation to you is, get a life. For you who believe that you can only feel complete and whole when you find your soul mate, let me say that no one can complete you. Only God can complete you, “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” Col 2:10. The right person can bring you joy and happiness but will never complete you.

Yearning and desiring for someone to complete you is not where God wants you. People spend an endless journey trying to find someone to complete them. People drift from dysfunctional relationship to dysfunctional relationship looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right. He or she should never be your everything! Sadly the cycle never ends for some people. I have friends on Facebook who change their status form single to in a relationship and back as often as there are months on a calendar. Instead, make having a close relationship with God your priority and all things will be added unto you. He must come first in your life. No one else will accept you, love you and open His arms to you unconditionally like our Heavenly Father. Who’s your Daddy! Learn to be content right where God has you.
