For those of you whose hearts ache for a relationship, do not lose heart and above all, do not lose hope! I'm writing this to encourage those who are single to push forward and embrace the time they have to themselves. There are many times when I think that once I find a relationship that everything will finally be complete, but I know that I do not know what I'm asking.
A wise man once told me that it becomes difficult to have alone time with God once you have a wife and kids. This makes sense considering the fact that you must make sacrifices for your family and one of those sacrifices is time. I myself am single and am not married, but I'm sure there are men and women on here that have experience and can say how difficult it can be sometimes. I would like to share some verses concerning this matter the first being 1 Corinthians 7:28 Paul writes, "But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this." So we must realize that when we are to marry that it brings troubles and that it won't always be peaceful at times. However Proverbs 18:22 says, "The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and receives favor from the LORD." So we must also remember that while marriage may bring troubles, it also has its rewards and women are to be viewed as precious and as a treasure we must cherish as men, just as God treasures women. Women, in the same way love your man, boyfriend, or husband and above all, love the Lord above anything else!
As I said before, I am writing this to all who are single so that they may have hope and look to Jesus for comfort and that they may also come to him when they feel lonely. I'm sorry to all of those on here who feel lonely and would like to be with someone, but ask yourself this, "why do I seek a relationship?" This is not a trick question but just something to ponder on. What I'm trying to say is don't spend all your time thinking about finding someone or looking for someone instead, ENJOY the time God has given you, especially to those who are young! Be present in the current moment your in and give the desires of your heart to God! Ecclesiastes 12:1 reads, "Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, Life is not pleasant anymore."
I guess what I'm trying to say is, please please! Enjoy the time you have being single to have a relationship with God and search for him. Enjoy the time you have that you are able to be alone with him and the times you are able to have adventures with him. I am in no way an expert on this matter because I too would like to find a woman someday and I just want to say to all the young women and men my age, to keep praying to God that he will one day give you the opportunity to be with someone. I felt it in my heart to write this before bed because this is something that I struggle with and I just want people to know that their not alone and that Christ is here for us and knows what we desire.
To all those married once again, I mean no disrespect to you all and as I said, I am noooo expert. To all the millennials out there and all who are apart of my generation, just know that someone out there genuinely cares and knows what's it's like to want a girlfriend or boyfriend. I ask that you join with me in asking for God to help guide our paths and that you give the desire for wanting to be with someone to God. One last verse I would like to share is from Matthew 22:30 which reads, "For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. In this respect they will be like the angels in heaven." Let us look forward to the fact that once we die there will be no need for a significant other because we will have received Christ the bright morning Star! As our reward! He will satisfy ALL our needs and we will no longer feel lonely or not loved for Jesus himself, will be enough.
Dear brothers and sisters, enjoy every moment with God and seek his Kingdom first, and be present for the past has already gone and the future has yet to come so if you are sleeping, savor it! If you are running outside, run for the Lord! If you are working, love those at your work and work for the Lord! Even when you are having coffee with friends, do not day dream or text but be present with them at the moment and worry about the next day until it comes. Thank you for reading this and please pray for me and my generation that even though we feel lonely and want a relationship that we don't make it the goal of our lives for if you have accepted Christ then you are already complete. God bless you all and I love you guys and hope that one day you will all be with godly men and women who love Jesus Christ.
Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever, Amen!
