Being single isn't the best thing. It feels like almost every where you turn, you see a couple holding hands, kissing, laughing, or doing other romantic things people in relationships do.
You begin feeling discouraged, feeling like you'll never meet Mr. Right. You're maturing in your faith, and you just want someone to share those late night spiritual thoughts with. You want to have deep conversations over coffee. You just want someone to understand you. You just want someone who's on the same level as you. I feel you. I am you. Being a strong believer of Christ and single is kind of frustrating. You see all of these other relationships that are based on carnal thoughts, and you're single with the best intentions for a relationship. You lay your head down at night, and ask God to send you somebody. "I need a man and I need it now!" "A real man too, not these funky ones that lie on a regular." Stop looking. Stop asking. There's a season where we walk alone, and during that season is where we learn more about God and seek His love. True love. Before God places you in a relationship, He has to prepare you for it. Being single in the flesh is a chance for us to build a relationship in the spirit with the author and creator of true love. Through our loneliness and longing for that amazing guy to swift you off of your feet, seek God's love so you'll know how to love and how to determine if this guy defines the love that God has shown you. You should be seeking a guy who has the spirit of God dwelling in him. This guy should treat you like a reflection of God's love for you. The longer you look and pray for a man, the more you're missing out on learning more about God's love and how to love when you enter a relationship. Also, being single lets you know that right now God is preparing someone special for you. He's shaping him into the man of God and the spiritual influence he must live up to be. You have standards. Don't settle for less. God tells us in Romans 8:25, "But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience." Let God be the author of your love story. Stop trying to rush into one. The more you rush into relationships, the less you take from it. Dear singles, take this time to learn more about our Father, who is the creator of love, who first loved us, who gave us the heart to love, and who promised us everlasting love. Don't get wrapped up in the term "single". The world defines single as being alone, but with God, you are never alone. You are loved right now. You are adored by the angels and forever loved by our Father. God loves you so much, so why are you so worried about "being single forever", or "times running out". Be still and know [that I AM God] (Psalm 46:10) and God got you. YOU don't control time. God is in control of every. single. thing. in. your. life. It's like a book. You must keep reading to get to the good part, right? Well, keep reading. Stop trying to skip chapters. Those chapters shape you up into the future you. So, in this season, go out and have dinner with some friends, read a new book, watch a new TV series, engage in more activities, and learn more about yourself and the love of God. You have to get yourself together before you try to combine your life with someone else's. There's so much treasure inside of you. And honestly, you're not single. You're seeking.
