Philippians 4: 6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplications, let your request be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts & minds through Christ Jesus....
When God saw Adam in His garden, He looked deep in his empty soul (at his loneliness)... What I think is this: God surely knows what he lacks and longs for. He is a DAD, He can be asked or begged but, prior to giving things, it´s probably WE need a couple of things changed and, if He planned to give a man or a woman their loved one, I don´t think it fear a wife or a husband be taken to heaven "so soon" after a long earthly expectation.

Those who have sheep (or any breed of animals) are also concerned for getting more sheep... How come would miss that? When I had dogs I chose the best I could, so none of them were sick (or alone).

I know God is too busy but, He also has angels working with Him so, there´s no a hard reason to understand loneliness, except I needed to be changed to grow up... Just guessing!

I know how you feel. Haha. We're exactly the same. Like you know, you want to be different from other people, you want to be who you are, like doing the things you want thats far different from the trend and yet HOPE that someday someone would care to accept who you are.

yeah its tough finding someone who'd like you as you are these days. But really, it's not like its impossible, i mean, mary found joseph and it wasn't easy for him to accept her when she was already pregnant and it wasn't even his child. Okay, i might not pointing it out right but my point is, no matter how imppssible it may seem, there's got to be someone out there who'd be ready to share the same interests as you and be your partner in life. you know how our Lord works, He does it the most mysterious ways. maybe now is not just the time for you to meet. you don't really have to worry too much about it, she's also looking for you. Just be who you are. I'm sure when she's gonna love you no matter what you are, because He loves you toO.

Geeee!

She wasn´t pregnant the moment he "met" her, becasue she wasn´t unknown to him but, according to what I heard, they both have something like an arranged marriage and, Mary, went away several months to visit her siblings (the mother of Joh the baptist). When she appeared back, she was preagnant! And no doubt Joseph felt himself miserable... At least, God spoke in dreams to tell him: SHE´S NOT A CHEATER!

Today there are a lot of people deserving trust and, the moment a person knows "she / he is not trustworthy" we´d better to run (and hide).

Hey CTC. Like you, I was born in '89, but since I'm a December baby, I'm not quite 26 years old yet.

Firstly, I want to say, it is awesome that you have these renewed desires for a good and godly relationship. I love hearing the ways Jesus just sweeps people up and does a wonderful thing to them from the inside out.

What I find with the close people around me, is that many assume the grass is greener on the other side. The, "If only I was married...", or for some married couples I know, "If only I was single..." or, "If only we had a child...". But where does it end? Singleness is a gift, and so is a partner in marriage, and so is children. It is all a gift.

It is a good thing to look forward to, but I believe there is so much in the here and now that is worth celebrating. In any moment, in all circumstances, situations and relationship statuses, there are many reasons to delight in Him in thanksgiving and opportunities to experience ultimate satisfaction in Him.

At this point in life I love serving my church. God has been doing some interesting things with my gifts lately and I'm just so fascinated with what happens when I pour it back out on my brothers and sisters in Christ. Being single gives me a lot of time on my hands to do this, and truly, it is an honour to do so.

Singleness is not a disease that needs to be cured. It is just a season. It is a season that has purpose, and like all seasons, it is best spent in complete surrender to God's will and His touch and to allow Him to do more amazing work in you. So, on the day you have the privilege of taking someone's hand in marriage, you can give so much more out as someone refined and matured by the practice of patience, hope and faith.
Well said. I think all singles including myself should seek the kingdom of God first, as it says "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all the things shall be added unto you"

But it seems as the world is partying in relationships and sex, sometimes the carnal mind seems to get anxious. It has happened to me many times. I need to reinforce my faith and love for God, without which my carnal mind will desire for earthly sensuality before I even get married. I am trying my best to avoid such circumstances.

okay, no offense, but you make it sound like i don't know the story, but i understand since i didn't point out what i really mean. But just to make things clear, what you thought i meant, isn't what i was really trying to say. I didn't even say she cheated. you might want to reread what i wrote and think of the shallow side behind instead of analyzing all of it. I'm just trying to make things clear. Thank you :)

I´m sorry! you know the story (I was "highly concerned" on that. :) ) but, as you probably know, many ppl get engaged with someone pregnant, with someone in need... like those I was totally wrong.

You are well informed, sorry!

;)

You didn´t say "she cheated." But, Joseph could have thought about it, painstakingly, because he probably loved her, that way, he prefered to run (and hide) while leaving her "alive" in the presence of those who would think, of Mary "she indulged herself... and Joseph fled alone".

What a predicament for both, Mary and Joseph.

I cannot guess what you tried to said but I have seen one of my brothers got a woman with her children. He paid her bills for 15 years. She endured him and those problems he had with alcohol and, the moment she thought best, she went away (having no children with my own brother)

My age, most of the ppl I would meet have children (like any Mary) and it´s highly recommended that any person who wants his /her own family starts it without other´s children, their singleness and loneliness; since a man (or a waoma) is prone to give more attention his /her previous kids and, CC (by the way) has shown ppl seeking someone who pays their bills, instead of building a HOME, with no child.

I have seen (and lived out) the predicaments of building relatinships with previuos children. As a norm, a woman prefers those kids rather than a new mate and, for me, that´s obvoius; but I wasn´t writing to refute your thoughts, just to say that, I "probably" knew what it would be to be married (or living) with a person whose life started with another person, not me.

My mom has several children. She had several "husbands" and I know it well because my dad grew with another dad who wasn´t his biological father and, as son, he lived what his brothers and sisters uttered behind those walls he was in: "He wasn´t a brother, but a half brother..."

What kind of life our Lord Jesus lived when His own brothers disbelieved what He said?

"He´s a nut!" "He is our half brother..." "OUR dad is NOT his dad..."

If a person wants to deal with things like that, he / she must be aware of unknown problem kids dealed in those areas, even in Christian homes and, I bet Mary and Joseph are best example of a "Christian home".

Joh 7:3 His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see the works that You do.
Joh 7:4 For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."
Joh 7:5 For not even His brothers believed in Him.

Maybe you just have to enjoy your season. Spend a little effort to a family bonding. Someday you'll be a husband and a father to your own children. you have to practice it even in your own seaaon right now.

Just keep on praying to God on the things that you want for your future wife. God is always faithful but sometimes we tend to questions God because things is not happening the way we wanted it. Just be faithful and enjoy your season.
