We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We took our sins and drove them like nails through his hands and feet. We lifted him high up on the cross of our transgressions, and then we pierced his heart through with the spear of our unbelief.
C.H. Spurgeon

What matters most is not finding the one right person but becoming the person that God wants you to be. Before judging the man or woman you are with – scrutinizing and appraising every attribute and characteristic, as if you were buying a horse – you ought instead to scrutinize your own heart. Here are some questions to ask before an engagement to marriage: 1. What would it mean for me to love him or her in accordance with the Bible’s teaching? 2. Am I willing to commit myself to anyone “for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health?” 3. Can I be steadfast in fidelity and servant-hearted in ministry? 4. Is God leading our lives in similar directions? 5. Do we have similar goals and ideas about children? The issue is not whether you can find someone worthy of your love, but whether you are ready to give a love that is worthy of marriage (Richard and Sharon Phillips).
