Who is the Main Character of your life?
Posted by
I'm not looking for the answer "God", lol. I'm speaking humanly, here.
I would think that for most of us, the answer is, our self. It is, after all, our life. But it could be a spouse, a child/ren, the cat.
I have to admit, I am the main character in my life. However, I honestly believe/feel that I could be quite content as the supporting actress/love interest to the main character -- if I had a spouse with an awesome God-given calling on his life.
There's a part of me that honestly craves that.
I also realize that it would make quite an adjustment, having been the main character for so long. I tend to be an incredibly selfish person, and am quite immature to boot, lol. Yet at times, I imagine growing up (finally!) and finding fulfillment in being what God created me to be.
I think somewhere over the years, women (and men) have lost their God-given roles, and felt that headship/leadership is superior. I've noticed a pattern among today's married Christian couples -- they seem to be practicing role-reversal, with the woman as the spiritual leader....and the marriages are rocky/in trouble. Not surprising if you really think about. If we askew the balance God created, no wonder there are problems.
For years I assumed it was the man's fault, that men refused to stand up and be the spiritual leader of their house, ensuring their home was a safe haven and not a spiritual battlefield for their families, forcing the woman to into that role if she desired to raise Godly children. And this may be the case many times. But, recently I've noticed that many women have snatched the role away from their husbands, and for some strange reason, the men submitted their leadership -- willing yielded it away.
But regardless of why (refusal or yielding), it would not surprise me if the high % of Christian divorces do not stem back from this balance problem.
Anyway, sorry for my rant/rabbit trail -- so who is the Main Character in your life? Even if it's the cat, go ahead and admit it, lol.
