The Crater within

You ever feel like you just HAVE to be with someone? Be honest with yourself! Survey your life...think back for a second and see if you can remember a time when you were relationally "unemployed" (without a boy/girl friend) BY YOUR OWN CHOICE. Okay so maybe you have, then ask yourself if during that time, did you have any "dips" on the side...you know (friends with benefits)!? Well maybe you feel its "just not you" to be without someone. Or that its virtually impossible. Maybe you don't feel guilty about your 'friends with benefits' because you didn't do anything wrong (just some harmful flirting). Either way, you're justified. You were created with an internal gap called companionship that longs to fill itself with a companion of some sort. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says God has placed a hole in our hearts that only HE can satisfy. He wants to out-satisfy our desire for companionship. Once we ask him to and He does, he gladly sends people in our lives who come close to doing the same. Challenge: Take some time off (if you're single) and stop "shopping" for a relationship long enough to dare God to OUT-SATISFY and fill your crater with companionship.
