When Two becomes One

"Our small group is serving in kitchen today. Can I help out?"
"Yes"

I was at a Chinese church few weeks ago. As is usual for my curious nature, I pried on what the American man sitting next to me was typing on his cell phone and subsequently handed it over to the woman sitting next to him with an infant in her lap. I also sneaked in to see the reply too. A husband and wife serving in a Chinese church for their love of Christ.

Later, I saw a young Indian man from Hyderabad and his wife who were also an active part of the church. They shared their unique ministry. Every Saturday night, they host an Indian dinner for students studying in the nearby universities and serve them Indian food. They host a game night which is well attended by around 20-30 students. Every week, the lady cooks food for this large crowd, despite having to take care of her children. The man faithfully serves as her able support in this task.


We often hear the phrase, "when two becomes one". In fact, there is a song with these lyrics - but the meaning is all about love making. I think the real love making is not what happens in the comforts of a cozy bed, instead it is in the sacrificial giving of your time and energy for others - That's when two really becomes one.

A marriage is made in heaven when the man and his wife thinks with one vision, in unity and harmony. Watching a couple who works as one body and mind is like listening to the perfectly harmonized melody. If you are a young man or woman waiting for your match, seek for one who can truly become You.
