Too often, I feel singleness is feared upon like ‘the poison apple’, viewed as ‘the ugly step sister’ and dubbed as ‘unhappily ever after. Thanks to our society and pop culture, singleness has become a tragedy to be avoided and dreaded instead of a treasure to be cherished and relished.
So, to me there are six aspects to singleness I deem as precious pearls, ones that should be prized, savoured and embraced wholeheartedly. So what kind of priceless gems await us in the single life? Below are five keys to unlocking new doors to this enlightening chapter.
1. Discover Gods love…
When we erase all the time spent fantasizing about our favourite movie stars, our cute crushes or our current boyfriends, it’s amazing how much time we have left to think about God and the great love He has for us all. God wants each and every one of us to know the full capacity of His unfailing love and how we can apply it to the lives of many others.
Our love should always be firmly rooted in God before guys.
Singleness is the perfect time to see how God continues to look after us and how He will never leave nor forsake us. Even when we sin and fall short of His standards, God’s love is never tested, strained, doubted or changed whether we bring Him joy or failure. ‘Jesus Christ is the same today and tomorrow and forever’. (Hebrews 13:8)
