Finding Treasure in the Single life
Written by:

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)
2. Build a promising relationship…
Once grasping the love of our Father, we can thus begin a never ending relationship with Him.
He is the most precious of all our past, present and future lovers and right now, as singles, this time can prove necessary in connecting closer to His heart.
We can learn to live in undivided attention to God as, ‘An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit’. (1 Corinthians 7:34) For now, we can lead ourselves in scripture reading, prayer modules and down time talk with God. I believe there is something truly special about developing and maintaining our own faith, knowing time spent with God isn’t relied on by another individual.
