I am filled with envy when I hear news of another engagement or another wedding. While I am happy for them I wonder why not me? When I was in Memphis I talked to a friend about this. Yet more news came and I wondered is there anywhere I can go to hide. I can't hide from the undeniable fact that many will get married. Yet God has called me to wait on His timing but that does not mean that my life is on hold.
God has taught me this, no matter if I am married or single that God is the one whom my soul must love.
Who is God? Who is Christ? Who is He that we should take notice?
In Isaiah 53 it says this about Christ
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Yet who Christ is great and can be found in both the old and new testament
This is one I love from Colossians
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
So is He not the true beloved from Song of Solomon. So He is worthy of all our trust and love.
I was reading romance novels again. I hate them yet why do the lies come saying that they are a substitute for what I do not have.
