Christian Singles Get Busy, Get Focused and Get Content!!!! You are already COMPLETE in Christ Jesus!!!

Here is the article I was referencing:

Intro:
Dating Christians who are content with being single, who feel complete in Christ, and are open to finding a godly mate or staying single whichever God wills, is a great way to begin a friendly, enjoyable dating relationship. Dating is fun when there is no pressure, dating is pleasant when both singles are secure in their singleness. Dating is pleasing to God when both singles are yielded to God's perfect will and understand that they are God's beloved son or daughter complete and lacking no good thing. With the Christian dating pressures that are often put upon single Christians to date and marry it is easy to loose track of this fact: you are indeed complete as one! Enjoy this article and relax, dating Christians is best done as a "complete one" secure and content in Christ!


"Complete As One"
By Rudelle W. Thomas

Being single is looked upon by many people as being incomplete. Even those of us who are single, often feel incomplete without a mate. In Genesis 2:18 God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." Alone means without aid or support. (look up Greek) He was saying that it was not good that Adam should take care of the garden and the animals, etc. all by himself. So God said I will give you someone to help you. Nowhere did He say that Adam was incomplete. Complete (look up in Greek) means having all necessary parts or elements. His reason for creating Eve was not to complete Adam, but to give him someone to help him do that which he was instructed to do. Adam had everything he needed to walk out God?s plan for his life BEFORE Eve was created. God created Eve to aid and support him. When God gives you instructions that require the help of another person to carry out, He will also give you that person.

"Where there is vision, there is provision!"

God will not give you a task to do that you are not equipped and able to do. If you are a single Christian then you have everything you need, to be who God created you to be. Psalm 139:14 says, "for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works." Marvelous means of the highest kind or quality: notably superior. Does that sound like we're missing something? No it doesn't. When we are made, we are made the way He wants us to be. We were born with EVERYTHING we need to walk in our destinies. Ephesians 1:11 "...for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will" (AMP)

A spouse was meant to be a helpmeet, or one who is a companion and helper, NOT one who completes you. We are complete when we have accepted Jesus into our lives. Colossians 2:9,10 confirms that. 9 "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power" and Colossions 4:12 states, "that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God."

"Being complete has EVERYTHING to do with God and NOTHING to do with a mate!"

Be Blessed!

I hear what you're saying here....

I realise that joy, contentment, peace, fulfillment etc. is found in Christ...yes of course...however that still does not take away the desire to want to be with someone!! cos that's how God created us to be. It's natural because we are human. You seem to forget the point that God himself said it's not good for man to be alone.

@bertyblue This video is about being complete in Christ BEFORE looking for someone....it's not about not marrying because Christ is in our lives. Desiring marriage is a Godly things but it's not above our relationship with God.

[GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

In Matthew Chapter 19, Jesus talks about marriage, and He says that "not everyone would be able to accept singleness, but only to those whom it is given". While you are 100% correct, we should all be content, however, it is not a sin to seek a spouse. :)

[LadyLovelyLocs]

@GeneralSirDouglasMcA I certainly agree it is not a sin.

This video is very encouraging. God bless you. :-)

[LadyLovelyLocs]

@lns1988 Praise God. God bless you also!

amen sis good word

[SapphireDiamond19]

wow i needed to hear this thanks

[bertyblue]

And..to complicate things even further there are some ppl (like myself) due to family history, haven't been loved or have been abused, and thus their longing, aching, desire to love and be loved by a special someone is even greater. Don't forget God shows his love to us through Jesus but also through other people.

[bertyblue]

We all need to be around people, if I stayed in my room all day, prayed and read my bible knowing Christ is my contentment I'm still going to feel miserable. Why? Because I'll be too lonely. I long to be married, I desire to be with a woman, have sex with her, love her etc. there is nothing wrong with this and furthermore, just because I have this longing doesn't mean I don't realise that ultimate joy, contentment and peace is found in Christ.
