Thank you, Victory Weekend QC February 2009 :-D

You complete me.

After three consecutive absences in Youth Service, I finally attended yesterday! Yeay to that! REVELATION! I repeat, REVELATION!!!!!

Listen up, yo!

We only have one life to live and ONE HEART to give.

Our one true love doesn't deserve bits and pieces of what was already given away. There shouldn't be any rash decisions when it comes to love. It'll come at God's right time. :-)

Looking at Adam and Eve's love story...
Adam was content with his life. He knew his destiny. He served God and he knew just how to do it. He didn't pray to God for a companion. He was happy just the way his relationship with God was.
BUT. God knows Adam needed a companion. The Bible says,

The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

(Genesis 2:18)

God initiated Adam and Eve's love story! He made them perfect for each other. WOW!

But for Adam [a] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [b] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [c] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

(Genesis 2:21-22)

God made Eve perfect for Adam before He gave her to him. See? It's all in God's prefect timing.

I'll admit it. I keep praying to God for that right one to come along. Then, hearing this message, I believe God has our love stories all planned out. First, I believe He wants us to enjoy a relationship with Him. Like our Pastor said, "Only God can complete me!"

Stop believing Jerry Maguire. Ahihi. Other people can't make us complete. Only God can.

If God really has someone destined for us, then I believe it will come. After all, God knows exactly who and what we need and when to give it. :-)
