The essential factor was Josh himself.Įven long-term Christians can have a “relationship” with God founded on the wrong motives. But there was an essential factor that ultimately brought us the marriage we have today: I wasn’t looking to Josh for a relationship status, for arm candy, or for help with my math homework. Our relationship developed from acquaintance to friendship, from friendship to confidence, from confidence to commitment, and from commitment to intimacy. But as I spent time with him and came to understand his character and heart, my desire for his presence grew. I had no initial “desire” for Josh emotionally or physically. My faithful readers will recall that when my husband and I first met, we were not attracted to one another. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” (John 10:9-10, Amplified, emphases mine) The Necessity of God Himself The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. He will come in and he will go out, and will find pasture. “ I am the Door anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). But dissatisfaction is not God’s intention for His children, who have access to abundant and eternal life: It settles in all of our hearts regardless of our stage of life. (Read the post Contentment is Not a State of Being for more thoughts on this.)ĭissatisfaction is no respecter of persons. Just like contentment, satisfaction is not limited to any life stage. Having made the transition from singleness to dating to marriage and motherhood, I understand the battle for satisfaction. Every married person was single at one time, working through the same desires, struggles, and difficulties single women are still facing today. I always say, “I’ve been there” – because I have. How do we satisfy ourselves in God when – frankly – we’re still not satisfied? “I understand that,” she says.In the midst of the battle to choose Christ over our human nature, the pat answer to “satisfy yourself in God” isn’t always welcome. In the thread below from Twitter, Beth Moore creates an atmosphere that is friendly and “understanding” of a woman who complained that the only way to escape sex with her husband was to divorce him.

Yet, she kicks against the goads with God’s word anyway, and she does so in the name of Jesus–something she complains about other people doing. And even if she were, she doesn’t believe that Paul’s writings are equally authoritative with the red-letter words of Jesus. She has no need to be obedient to God’s word.
