COMPLETE or FINISHED? (Which do you want to be?)

No English dictionary has been able to explain the difference between the two words "complete" and "finished" in a way that is easy to understand.
Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED, but there is:
When you marry the right one, you are COMPLETE.
And when you marry the wrong one, you are FINISHED.

This is so hilarious, right?  =)
Most jokes that we can actually relate to are hilarious, and sometimes sad but true, or funny but true, etc.

My oldest daughter taught at a girls' camp recently, and one thing she said was to work toward being the right one and not just looking for the right one.
The other person out there is looking for the right one too, and if you're not being that person, you may miss out.
And you grow into it too (or out of it!), so you can't wait until the last minute!  Because you may one day find that right person... but by then you may not be the kind of man/woman they are looking for.  =(

You will only ever be COMPLETE with Jesus.
If you're not reading your Bible, start with one chapter a day in Proverbs.  Today is the 21st, so you can read Proverbs 21.  The Bible is a mirror to examine ourselves.  Gradually you will begin to see areas you need to change.  If you really get close to HIM, it will be easier to change them.
After reading through Proverbs multiple times, I'm still finding things to help me each day!  =)
