Many times we fail to go to the only Father who can help us, but instead we run straight into the arms of someone who cannot help himself, let alone us. Understand we must not marry someone thinking he can save us. Men are not saviors. They have nothing with which to save us. Men are heirs together with us ladies, of the grace of life. We are both eligible for inheritance. Men do not GIVE the inheritance! They need it just as much as we do!
Don't be fooled into looking into the arms of flesh for a healing that can only come from the arms of a "living" God. If you choose to marry, don't marry out of what you need. Marry out of the abundance of what YOU have to offer. When two people enter into a relationship for what they can receive, they are both disappointed. No man, no matter how wonderful, can wipe all tears from our eyes. Our lives bring many tears. They are unavoidable. They are part of our very existence. Pleasure and pain, sunshine and rain are all intermingled with day to day bruises and brokeness that neither our husbands nor our natural fathers can heal.
It is honorable to be married if that is your choice. Just understand that whoever God sends into your life will be limited and human. He will give a measure of comfort, but real wholeness comes from God alone. There are areas of our lives that God has reserves for himself alone. He will heal them and fill them. No one else can. We can all go to Him when life is too much!
He has been my trusted friend and confidant. He has never betrayed me nor divulged my secrets. He is the strong, silent type. He knows when to keep still. When nights are cold and days are dreary, He is my comfort and my peace. He is to my soul what hot tea is to my body. He strengthens and warms the chill of life for those of us who will trust Him. He is the provision for whatever problem and the solution to the challenges that life will surely present themselves.
We need not impress him. He already knows who we are. He has searched each of us and has known us. There is no need to try to project an image. He has seen all of us in the raw. He examines our thoughts and know every imaginations we have. Whatever we try to discuss with Him, He already knows. When will we realize that this omniscient knowledge of us has not cause Him to ever forsake us! He is still with us! What a love!
