First of all, I am probably the last person who should be writing about this topic, since I am married. So, please be mindful that any information I will share comes directly from my thoughts from what I read in the bible. To be honest, I was pretty hesitant to write regarding this topic. And I really think the evil one was sending his army of darkness to really stop me from writing, all together. But I praise God for giving me an imaginary knock to my head making me realize that my words may very well be what people need to read. I really do hope my writings are helpful to the readers. Well, here goes......
Most people I meet would one day like to find the man/woman of their dreams and get married. I actually know right now of 4 women who are engaged and getting ready to embark on the journey on the road to getting married. Truly awesome and very happy for them! Then, I also come across those people who are not exactly dating anyone either because they haven't found Mr. or Mrs. Right, are extremely picky, divorced, men/women haters, or just not marriage material. And, I am also happy for them! There are truly those select people I do know that love being single and will never marry. Then, I know people who absolutely hate being single. They try oh so hard to find their man/woman of their dreams either from blind dates, internet dating sites or what have you. My thoughts on that is plain and simple if the Lord created you to be single, then He had a reason. Live your single life proud. Think about what other things The Lord placed in your life because it really could be worse. Maybe, the Lord wanted you to be single, because He has a greater plan for you! I really do not know, and I highly suggest you refrain from racking your brain trying to figure it out either. I guess my suggestion to those who are single is to give your feelings to God, pray if it His will He will bring you a mate. If it is not, pray that the Lord would make it so clear to you and pray that the Lord would replace those feelings of wanting a mate with feelings of being content with how you are now and again, praise God for your blessings. I repeat it really could be worse.
I do remember when I was younger and first came to know the Lord, at the age of 15, that's exactly what I did, I prayed that if it was the Lord's will He would bring me a mate. And, many, many, many years later I met my now husband. Friends, I cannot begin to tell you what your destiny is, if you are meant to be married or single, But, I will try to encourage you by saying, with God being single won't be that bad. Wrap your time around ways to praise and glorify Him, and you will be content!
