The Beautiful Exchange

“

Our Christian culture has bought into the lie that the only thing we need is God when we were created not only vertically (to be in relationship with God), but also horizontally (to be in relationship with others). Marriage is one of the ways this relationship occurs, but it is also supposed to take place within the church (John 17:20-23).

Maybe we should be a little more hesitant when we throw out “God is all I need.” Is He really? Was that truly His original intent? My dad told me something once that I believe applies to more than just the parent-child relationship: “Anna, you can do this alone, but you don’t have to; that’s why God gave you us.”
