You complete me.

Where in the world would we be today without Jerry Maguire?

We started a new series at church this morning about sexuality. Not exactley a topic that most people want to tackle but it's good so far. Kind reminded me of what I've read (skimmed) in the book Sex God. Anyway, one of the things that Dave said this morning stuck with me. The idea of solemate vs. soulmate.

Our generation today seems to embrace this idea that there is one person out that that is made for us, and we're made for them. Together we "complete" one another and we will be great. We search for our soulmate, and when we find him or her we jump right in. We mistake a flood of emotions for a sign that we've meet our match. (The problem is, a lot of us find our 'soulmate' at like age 17) And then several years later we start to realize that we really don't know this person, things just aren't clicking anymore, and so on. Clearly they weren't our soulmate so end that relationship/marriage and set out to find the real one. It doesn't matter how many attempts we make as long as we find our soul mate in the end.

Now, last time I checked the Bible didn't say another about one person being made just for us. We have to use wisdom and good judgment, and not wait for destiny to step in. Maybe, just maybe we should follow are more biblical pattern and pursue a sole mate. Meaning, a mate that walks with us and together we follow God. Together we seek God, and we love one another, forever. Love isn't just an emotion; it's a commitment and it's a policy that we must choose to keep.
