I am just sitting down to write....I have felt under the weather the past week---nasty sinus infection (which is not fun to have after nose surgery).
The first thing that came to my mind when I read the word "whole" was my season of singleness. This past week at work I had a co-worker ask me why I wasn't married yet....and she was surprised I didn't have a "few kids" by now because I am a nurture. When people ask me this at times I feel empty then go through the emotions of wanting to be married and have a man love me...I think "woe is me others are getting married what about me." But then I really think....marriage does not make me whole. I am whole just the way I am....because I am whole with Christ. With Christ He is all I need. I do not need a boyfriend or a husband to make me complete--Christ completes me.
Very well spoken, Rebecca. I think at least once in everyone's life, people hope for things they don't have. But, like you so perfectly said, if we have Christ, we already hold the world in our hands. God made us perfect in His image, so I know without a shadow of a doubt He will always look out for our best interests...thankful for all those unanswered prayers/wishes/wants I've had in the past. God bless you. :-)
