Being single is looked upon by many people as being incomplete. Even those of us who are single, often feel incomplete without a mate. In Genesis 2:18 God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." Alone means without aid or support. (look up Greek) He was saying that it was not good that Adam should take care of the garden and the animals, etc. all by himself. So God said I will give you someone to help you. Nowhere did He say that Adam was incomplete. Complete (look up in Greek) means having all necessary parts or elements. His reason for creating Eve was not to complete Adam, but to give him someone to help him do that which he was instructed to do. Adam had everything he needed to walk out God’s plan for his life BEFORE Eve was created. God created Eve to aid and support him. When God gives you instructions that require the help of another person to carry out, He will also give you that person.
"Where there is vision, there is provision!"
God will not give you a task to do that you are not equipped and able to do. If you are a single Christian then you have everything you need, to be who God created you to be. Psalm 139:14 says, "for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works." Marvelous means of the highest kind or quality: notably superior. Does that sound like we're missing something? No it doesn't. When we are made, we are made the way He wants us to be. We were born with EVERYTHING we need to walk in our destinies. Ephesians 1:11 "...for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will" (AMP)
A spouse was meant to be a helpmeet, or one who is a companion and helper, NOT one who completes you. We are complete when we have accepted Jesus into our lives. Colossians 2:9,10 confirms that. 9 "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power" and Colossions 4:12 states, "that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God."
"Being complete has EVERYTHING to do with God and NOTHING to do with a mate!"
Be Blessed!
