you were made for someone, not everyone.
so be careful not to make everyone into your someone.
and not to make someone your everyone either.
i read this on someone else's blog. i think it was said for sappy, soul mate type purposes but i also saw it as a response to the things we idolize in our lives. we're so quick to give ourselves away, and to what, to whom? is it/are they worthy? if it's not God, reevaluate. is it more important than the Creator of the universe, the one who calls us by name?
yes, we were made for someone. and that Someone is Christ.
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God?
Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men,
I would not be a servant of Christ.
-Galatians 1:10

i'm a daughter, a friend, a sister, a cousin. i haven't been doing my part in these relationships. i've been so lacking and never really realized the full...i guess seriousness of that. i know we can never fill these roles perfectly, but isn't it up to each of us to try?
