Vday Special - My Single Identity Baggage
What's in your luggage?
The factors of my identity that should matter most to me — and a future spouse — are those that center around my relationship with Christ.
I have been justified (Rom. 5:1), I have been bought with a price (1 Cor. 6:19-20), I have been redeemed (Col. 1:14), I have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16), Christ lives in me (Col. 1:27).
If there is any value in my identity baggage, it is in those things that are bearing fruit. Each of those bags is on loan from God. In a year or ten, some of them will be gone, replaced by new ones. And only the Lord knows what those will be.
So what are we carrying with us now? Are they the things that are going to last? Let's build ourselves in Christ strong first b4 we pull another person, who has yet grown s/himself strong in the Lord, into the picture!
Let's Seek, Bless, Serve & Spread
and remember God says, 'Maker, Ministry, Mate'!
For at that point of time, God shall lead us to the right person as we faithfully walk with Him all these time. xD
running the race tog,
