Single and Happy: Finding Your Love Life Every Day

Who's Yours?

"Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock"

Matthew 7:24

They say, "You are what you worship," but who is it that we worship? All of us worship someone, whether we like it or not, know it or not.

Let's look at three major realities that we worship.

1. Things

Are you buying things you don't need? With the money you don't have? To impress the people you don't like?

I guess all of us fell in this kind of lifestyle. There was a time in my life that I was working a lot – overtime, weekdays, and weekends. The only thing left to do whenever I come home is to sleep. I'm too enticed by the things I got from working.

One moment, I had lost my motivation and was left devastated by the responsibilities I was carrying. I focused too much in my work that I forgot the real purpose why I'm working and why I'm living.

I was living to work, not working to live.

At some point, tensions and difficulties are part of growing up. We need to work hard to earn, but when it's too much, to the point of revolving our life around money and material possessions we receive from work, then it's definitely not right.

There is something more beyond the things lower than our dignity. We have souls. We should control the material things we gain and not be controlled by it.

Work to live and not live to work.

2. People

Have you been left behind by a person you care so much? How did you move on?

After ending a relationship, the longer the time we move on, signifies how deeper we love the person, but some time, it also signifies how we have mistakenly made them the center of our life.

There is a song from Air Supply that says,

"Girl, you're every woman in the world to me. You're my fantasy, you're my reality. You're everything I need, you're everything to me"

If you make someone your world, and that someone left you, then you will really end up "lonely is the night".

It's good to love so much, even loving ourselves. In fact, we are called to love to the most, but we should not let ourselves or other people be the one we worship.

As human, we are unstable, imperfect and fragile. We should not let each other, only be the center of our life.

There must be someone beyond us.

3. God

If we place God as the center of our lives, then we can have that assurance that he will give us what we need (sometimes, even what we want).

In fact, all that we have now and the people we are with, came from Him.

All the things we have can be taken away from us, all the people we love can leave us, but it is God who will never change.

Friend, let us make the daily option to choose God as the center of our life. Worship Him with all our life.

If He is the axis where our world rotates, for sure we will never break down.

Make God ourfundamental option.
