I see posts on my social network sites where either guys or girls, will put their relationship status for everyone to see. Excitedly publishing who they "belong" to or are dating. Sometimes they will use the "complicated" option - what's up with that? I saw a post form a girl that said "Yeah, I finally have him, now everything is good!" As if being in a relationship is going to make every facet of your life good - Oh c'mon! We all know that's not the truth! It's comical while at the same time its sad that we, as people would put our very lives in the hands of another human being, another imperfect human being. A human being who will, in one breath say "hail him, hail him!!! And in the very next breath say "nail him, nail him!"Look at the scripture reference above. Those of us who choose to give our hearts & lives to Jesus belong to Him. Not some imperfect human who loves us one minute and hates us the next. What did Paul mean when he said that our bodies belong to God? Many people say they have the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies. Although they think that this is freedom, they are really enslaved to their own desires. When we become Christians, the Holy Spirit fills and lives in us. Therefore, we no longer own our bodies. "Bought . . . with a high price'' refers to slaves purchased at auction. Christ's death freed us from sin, but also obligates us to his service. If you live in a building owned by someone else, you try not to violate the building's rules. Because your body belongs to God, you must not violate his standards for living.
If you have not made the decision to give your heart to God please dont wait another second, for then you you will truly have a relationship status that will never be "complicated."
Say this out loud: "Lord Jesus forgive me. I believe in you. Come live inside me - Amen"
