We all want to belong somewhere or to someone. Whether it would be to our family, to our friends, to our church, we have all had the desire to feel like we belong. For as long as I can remember, I have always dreamed of getting married. I have wanted to belong to someone. To have someone tell me that there is no one else for them, but me. To feel loved accepted and cherished by one man, that’s what I’ve always wanted and, until recently, it was something I struggled to let go of. I realized I was holding onto the dream of wanting to belong and I was forgetting the reality that I already did belong. I have this bright pink t-shirt that I like to wear. I wear it a lot. On the t-shirt it says in big, bold letters “Sorry, I’m Taken.” Now, this may come as a shock to you considering how I have longed for marriage, but the reality that is displayed through that shirt is that I AM taken. I DO belong to someone. I belong to God and in Him I find all that I need. I am accepted, loved and cherished beyond what I ever could’ve come up with on my own. The best news ever is that YOU ARE TOO! God’s love for you is unwavering, unchanging, unfaltering, unlimited and unconditional! Woo Hoo!! Now, that is something worth celebrating!! You belong to him and he most certainly loves you!
“The earth is the Lord’s and everything that is in it. The world and all its’ people belong to him” Psalm 24:1
