We seem to have a problem with our lonely hearts. We want to love and be loved. We crave this so much that we sometimes grow impatient.

See, we really want to make a sand castle. But our dad has told us that we can't go to the beach for awhile. So what do we do? We go out in the back yard and start making mud pies. We just can't wait. So, you satisfy yourself in the dirt until then. Yes, it’s similar to the beach, but you wouldn’t understand the difference until you get to see the white sands...

"Mudpies" are like crushes. They're not half as good as the real thing. If we are patient, God will someday bless us with His best, whatever it is. For some, His best is singlehood. For others, marriage. But whatever it is, it's as good as a day at the beach!

Now, when the right person comes along, I think that God is gracious in bestowing many signs along with the "person of your dreams." Signs that you don’t have to make-up. It's not at all like a crush.

There is a HUGE difference between "attraction" and a heart that seeks to live out 1 Corinthians 13.
