When we are looking for "the one," which is a whole other blog for a whole other time, we often look for someone whom we can trust with our lives. This is a good thing in marriage but I am seeing another spin on it now.
We want to find someone whom we can trust. We see it as someone whom I feel comfortable enough and vulnerable enough to give my heart to because he/she is literally holding it through our walk together. As Christians, however, we are offered another picture. We are to find someone with trusting character. We are to look for Godly attributes in a mate. But when we enter into a covenant with that person, instead of trusting him/her enough to give them our hearts, what we really need to do is trust God enough to give it to Him. He is the holder of your heart in marriage. And as long as both of you are looking to Him, you can make it through any hurts that may come your way.
So, if you are already married and felt like you have given your heart to your spouse, take it back and give it to the One who is Trustworthy. If you are not married, look for a mate who exhibits a love and desire for the Lord and things will work a lot better for you!
