LIVING SINGLE. [God] will not leave you without support Hebrews 13:5 AMP. Colleen Alden writes: Im single. The kind of companionship I ache for I dont have. This feeling drives me to seek God. Why am I single when I long to love n be loved? Though its pointless to use our limited understanding to critique Gods plans, its helpful to catch glimpses of what Hes creating in me. Courage: to go home every night to someone who believes in me might make facing the scary parts of life easier. Singleness forces me to lean on God to face an uncertain future without fear. Psalm 27:1 NIV says, The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid? Hes my protector, provider n Saviour whether Ive a husband or not. Faith: Paul says, Be satisfied with ur present circumstances God will not leave u without support. Do I believe He knows best even when it hurts n I dont understand? When weve tasted loneliness past what we think we can bear cry out to Jesus. Hes close to the broken hearted n saves those who r crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18 NIV). He knows what it is to long for something. Hes longed for the affection of HIS loved ones for centuries. Authenticity: once in a while a man sparks my interest. Then a funny thing happens. The more interested I become, the more I become someone else. The old fears kick in. Am I pretty enough? Thin enough? Charming n talkative enough? God made me who I am, n years of being single have allowed me to learn who this woman is. Id rather be single than be with someone who wants me to be someone else. Read: 1 Corinthians 7: 25-40. (taken from The Word for Today). Have a blessed n wonderful day. DI-WOMAN OF GRACE.
