Love is satisified in Him

Day 21...Love is satisfied in Him
Today's dare: Be intentional today about making a time to pray and read your bible.  Try reading a chapter out of Proverbs each day, or read a chapter in the Gospels.  As you do, immerse yourself in the love and promises He has for you.  This will add to your growth as you walk with Him.
Day 20's dare might have been a big day for you.  Maybe you've never invited Him into your life or maybe you had drifted away and now your back on track whatever the reason Day 21 is about walking out your new decision.

Its interesting that I come to this day on this specific weekend because we just started a new series on Love at my Church and in the sermon the Pastor said that the only way to be fulfilled or complete is through Him.  Relationships are great, people are great, your husband or wife is great, but they don't complete you, they don't make you whole, He does.

I know, I know say what you want but in relationships two broken people don't make a whole person.  I know that we've all said to the one we love, "You complete me", "You fill that void in my heart", "Without you I'm nothing" but we learn quickly that Mr. or Mrs. Wonderful isn't able to meet all of our needs all of the time and that void starts to become empty again.  When we base our happiness on others and that other person doesn't live up to their "end of the bargain" our world falls apart.  We don't know what to do with ourselves when they are away.  We wander like lost puppies looking for something to fill that void because they are our life support, but when that void is filled properly our life support flows from heaven and its always available.

So take that step to becoming whole.  Small steps are only what is needed.  Small steps lead to huge victories.
