Be The One

I cannot remember what we talked about the day I met my wife, but I knew something was happening. It was like magnets coming together. I knew I was not going to change my mission or morals for her; she was not going to change her mission and morals for me. We discovered we had the same mission and morals because we had the same Jesus. She was growing in the Lord and I was, too. She was praying for her future spouse, and I was, too. Over time—it takes time—we discovered that we were the ones that God had for each other.

If you are single, be patient. Walk with God. Be who God wants you to be. Become the person you would want your future spouse to spend the rest of their life with. Do not wait for “the one”; start by becoming “the one”. If you are married, be the person your spouse wants to live with for a lifetime. Be patient, walk with God, and be who God wants you to be. Do not be self–absorbed but live in a servant–hearted way towards your spouse. Live with a great work ethic for your family, putting others first. If you are single, you need to develop those characteristics too.

You may feel a little insecure about the outside, but take care of the inside first. That is what really matters and what shines through in the end. What is in our hearts will be reflected in our exteriors. The Bible says that a joyful heart makes the face cheerful. So let’s focus on being the ones we would want our spouse to spend their life with. If you are married, but you are not being a spouse with kind words, a servant's heart, and good character, ask God to help you change.

No one gets married wanting to have a bad marriage. If we ask God to help us, He will teach us, walk with us, show us what to do, and do His work in us. He wants to move powerfully in our marriages, and in our relationships. But until we find God and His true love, we do not need to find anyone else.

Let Jesus become our true love, so we can learn how to love better.
