Being Complete...
Single, and unattractive??? (Anne)

Dear sister, I myself am also 22 and have never had a relationship before...not because I am "ugly"...rather, because I have never met anyone who really "takes my breath away..." ;) Our self worth is not found in the number of relationships we had...rather, it is found in Christ because we are the image of God. However, I fully understand what you are feeling because I am a woman with feelings too...I struggled with God for some time, wondering will I ever find someone whom I love and also loves me...me! Well, someone once told me that if we can't be happy with ourselves now, we will never be happy with another partner. This person also said that if our "completeness" is not found in Christ, then all our relationships will be an attempt to find others to "complete" us...sister, I know, I know how you feel...God knows exactly what our hearts feel, He knows your every thought and your every wish, in fact, He knows what kind of man He wants you to marry...I bet He knows too, exactly when He will send such a person into your life, at His perfect timing... I believe with all my heart that, when all our thoughts of wanting someone else to fill the space in our hearts is chanelled to a heart that runs after God...God will surely bless us with our hearts' desire. This is when we have already found our "completeness" in Christ. :) As for your two friends...I pray that they will find Jesus...bless you, sister, that God will fill your heart so much that you will lack nothing!
