Some people say Age ain't nothin but a number, but the reality is age is what marks time. It can explain how much (or little) wisdom you have, what you should have accomplished, and what time you have left to accomplish them.
Sometimes I think back to elementary school and how much I wanted to get to middle school, and then I wanted to be in high school, then in high school all I could think of was college, and while I was content with where I was I always thought there was something better coming along.
When it comes to marriage, dating, and basically just finding someone to talk to and claim as your own- a lot of people want to jump the gun. No matter what your age is or how wise you might be, somehow you want what you want & don't really think twice about it.
We sometimes have this problem where we simply want what we want and don't care what the consequences are, we want what we want and God wants what he wants.
The problem with that however is that as Christians we should want to do what God want's us to do. When we chose to live for Christ that means every single part of our lives is given for his use, especially when deciding who God has planned for us to spend the rest of our lives with.
8 I desire to do your will, my God;
your law is within my heart.”
Psalm 40:8
I had an epiphany the other day and I'd like to share it with you guys.. ready for the Hallelujah Chorus?
- I have a really long time before I need to think about dating or marriage. Once that time comes I have to share myself with a whole other person. I have to love him, care for him, watch out for him, and then sooner or later care about kids and a mortgage and bills and a job.
NOW though is now. I only have these precious few years to myself where it can be JUST me and God. No husband, no kids, not mortgage. So during these precious few years that I have to have exclusive fellowship with God, I want to use it. I don't want to waste these years being concerned with trivial things. -
Be careful with how you use your time, there's no refund policy.
