We all have people in our lives that we treat like life rafts. People who we think are supposed to hold us up, keep us from drowning, or rescue us from a life we dread. We long to feel value in acceptance from them and will do anything we can to receive it. But God never intended for us to find our security in another imperfect person. And it's only a matter of time before we both sink under the weight of our combined dysfunction.
"Your security it not found in another person, your security is found in God's promise.
A lot of people are waiting on somebody to pop them the question. But the most important four words that will determine your destiny are not: "Will you marry me?" but is "God has promised me -- Like some other dysfunctional human being can make you whole.
"We're not leaving the land God has called me to." -- The promise land represents your place in God, your position in Christ. We are not leaving God's most best and blessed place for our life. We are not compromising our standards, and not leaving the place of God's perfect will for our life.
(Married people) Even when it gets hard, or not feel love for each other in our hearts, or feel tingly when you roll over and wake up to each other in the morning, we are leaving the land and our marriage or covenant, and stepping aside from our commitment. For those who are thinking of giving up, you have come too far to turn around now. You went through hell and high water to get to this place. You are not about to forfeit all of it now. Start leading your family instead of abandoning your sons -- having enough hormones to become a dad, but not enough guts to stay to become a daddy."
