I remember the days when I was single and couldn't wait to meet my future husband. I replayed the "romantic fairytale" over and over in my head. It took me a while thought to realize the this "single suffering of loneliness" was a present from a God, and incredible gift right there in front of me to enjoy! not to run away from. Easier said than done, we all have that desire to be loved and to meet that special person. But the lie we fall into is that our future spouse is the one to complete us. HOW WRONG WE ARE! Only God will complete us. His love surpasses any amount of love we can receive here on earth. Don't get me wrong, marriage is also a wonderful gift created by God. But it wasn't created to fulfill us, to complete our lives. If we believe into that, I guarantee you will never be fully happy. Paul writes how unmarried men and women can be fully concerned about the Lords affairs. Our heart can be completely focused on Him. In that you can reach that completeness, that confidence in the Lord and not in men. ( 1 Corinthians 7:32)
So my point is, my encouragement is.... as hard as it is to be single...embrace it. Enjoy the time of your life that your in. Enjoy the freedom to give yourself solely to your heavenly Father. Ironically, most of the time when you stop looking, God blesses you with that person. So don't fret on your future, don't spend your time waiting for that "day". Enjoy your life!! Have fun! Use that time to grow closer to Him, and to learn how to be that incredible husband/wife.
