Singleness
For most who are married, its a blessing to have a mate who is Lord abiding. The vows are easily offered to one another when this principle is followed. Many years of joy are existant in the marriage arrangement. The journey from once being single to have joined with him or her, has come to a pleasant begining. The search for that someone is finally over, here they are with you. You sigh, in relief that you have a companion.
Singleness on the other hand is a blessing as well, dont fret at the fact that because you are single, that your enviroment is anything strange. It really isn't at all different. Look at all the many ways you can contibute to the giving of others just by the extra time you possess. And the many opportunities to reach out in Gods service, where as a married person could not afford such time as you could being single. True, when you are married you aquire friends, associates, and the like. But married persons are at a different level then the single person.
They aquire friends and associates who most likely are married themselves. The company they keep, pulls in those types of marrital benefits. You being single, have a greater level of fellowship you might say. Your like the pieces of a chess game, you can move where ever you want and however you would like to. Married persons can move around, but not as much or as often as you, the single person. Thats not bad news for the married individual, just means their catagory and life style are limited.
Of course, from time to time there are married persons who want to move around as much as you, but they should not have had marriage in mind. Now back to singleness, it can be memorable times for you. I mean the service you give to the Lord, the volunteer work, the mentoring of a child or someone in need. So much opportunity and support come to you from being single. Some of you may think, " wow i dont have any friends or associates, or just anyone for that matter. Believe it or not, your first friend is the Lord. Pray to him and ask him to help you to become more open to new things. Pray to have the Lord open up your heart to be more receptive in your giving. Remember to be someones friend, in this way you will gain relationships with others.
This will take time, " Rome wasn't built in a day they say " Soon through prayer and giving of your time, results will come when you least expect it. Here's a saying I always say: " Pay It Forward " Singleness is really a joy to have.
