Do Flaws Disqualify Us? - Naomi Elle

This is a difficult topic, because often instead of dealing with a particular sin or deficiency in ourselves, we fall into condemnation, mediocrity or overemphasis. We are all in a state of being changed by the Lord continually... and becoming more like Him. He is working on our lives, our hearts, our habits and our character. Our flaws do NOT disqualify us for marriage. I am just reminding you that today is always a good deal to be more like Jesus. Singleness is a very particular season in that there is an abundance of distractions from the world, but our purpose is to be undistractedly devoted to the Lord. And in that undistracted devotion, He will change us if we listen to Him. Obedience to God is always very, very practical to your daily life. 

To end this, I will simply repeat:God cares more about your future than you do. Trust in His love for you. 

Thank you, Naomi Elle (beloved sister!) for your excellent thoughts on this subject!
