Heart.

There are two things that I have been thinking about a lot lately:  
biochemistry and the condition of my heart.
I am going to discuss the latter.  
[The biochemistry major that I am really wants to tell you how incredible it all is, how detailed and precise and beautiful science is - but I will refrain.]  

When I think about my life in Christ, one thing that I am constantly amazed with is the concept of love, God's love.  How does someone love those who constantly reject Him?  Who choose lofty things of this world to satisfy their needs?  How can God show unconditional, sacrificial, and constant love?  I do not know - I cannot comprehend all the things of God.  But I am so grateful, He shows me amazing love, time and time again.  

God's love is enough.  That is what I know, that is what I have been taught, that is what I trust.  The creator of all things is more than enough for me.  But, then I hear God asking me if I really believe that.

Because sometimes when I start thinking about the rest of my life, I start wondering about the man that I will marry.  And as a single person, it is so easy to think that once you find someone you will be complete.  But, if I am looking for another person to come into my life and "complete" me, then I think my heart is misguided and I will only be disappointed.  

I should look on Christ and my cup should overflow.  

“For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, and the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.” -Psalm 107:9

I will not find satisfaction in anyone else until I first find that in Christ. 
And for the person I will marry - the Lord has perfect timing - I'll trust Him to figure it all out.
