I'm desperate for a girlfriend. Yep. I've managed to fool most people, they think my singleness doesn't bother me because I've been single for so long. But the truth is that it does bother me.
I'm more desperate than most people. Most people go from one relationship to another because they are 'desperate'. Not me. I'm so desperate that I'm not willing to be in a relationship that won't work. I'm desperate for a real relationship that is beneficial to other areas of my life. I'm not just looking for a relationship, I'm looking for someone to change my life forever.
My desperateness gets me thinking. Am I the same way with my relationship with God? Or am I willing to settle for a relationship that won't work, where I don't really care about the other person I just don't want to feel alone? A relationship that crumbles when it's not convenient?
I want to be truly desperate for God. I want a real committed relationship. An I'm-in-for-good-no-matter-what kind of relationship. A relationship that is honored even when no one is around. A relationship that absolutely turns my world upside down.
I think that's what it means to follow Christ; an unrelenting pursuit after a real, everyday, life consuming relationship with Jesus Christ.
This blog didn't turn out the way you thought it would huh?
Thanks for reading!
