Christ-centered relationships are one of the greatest gifts in this world. When you find a man/woman who loves God more than he/she loves you, you've hit the jackpot. When I first heard that, I was kind of taken back. "I want a man to love me over everything." Then, I realized that a man who loves God more than he loves you can love you more than any person or thing on this earth. I don't know anyone who wouldn't want that, that is just so powerful.

A friend of mine once wrote, "Christ wants you to fall in love with Him first and be romanced by Him first. Until then, you'll never fully understand true, constant, giving, and all merciful love." If that's not the truth, I don't know what is! There is such beauty in getting to know Jesus and focusing all of your being on Him and letting yourself be fully known and fully loved by Him.

I can speak from personal experience that when you give yourself time to seek out God, you become a lot more whole and don't have to rely on a significant other to satisfy your being. God wants to love us and we can never fully be loved by another human until we know the love our Savior has for us. A relationship isn't two halves of people completing each other. It's two whole people in Christ who know their worth from their Creator and can love each other even more because of it.

Do yourself a favor, whether single, dating, or married, say a prayer asking God to reveal Himself to you and give you an opportunity to seek Him out. Things like this usually happen in tiny ways, so don't sit around waiting for a miracle. Get out into the world and open your eyes to the things of God.
