There are a lot of single people out there who are anxious,
depressed, fearful and a whole lot of other things about their
singleness.
And there are a lot of single people who are not maximizing their
season of singleness but I want to address that today. As a single
person myself I know the struggle. There is so much we go
through but I want to tell you there is more…..
Singleness is not meant to be wasted on worrying about who
we are going to marry. There is so much more to singleness
than that. God knows who you will marry. You can trust Him
friends. He has got this!
If singleness is not supposed to be spent worrying about who we
are to marry then what is it for??
After all, singleness like marriage was created by God.
Singleness is a great time to work on you!
Don’t wait till you get married to work on yourself. Start now!
Have you got a vision for your life?
Is your relationship with God where you want it to be be?
Are you living a life of purity in thought and deed?
Do you have a vision for your life?
If not, this is the time to seek the Lord.
Men, this falls on you more because one day you will lead your
family. How can you lead if you have no vision for your life?
Having a vision for your life is not a one day gig. It takes time,
it takes patience, it takes being faithful with what God has put
in your hands, it takes faith, it takes getting on your knees
and seeking the Lord, it takes sacrifice.
How can we paint singleness as this boring stale season when
there is so much to learn, so much potential to grow, so much
discovering! Everything that comes from God is good so how can
singleness be bad??
Singleness has its challenges but so does marriage.
Is your relationship with God where you want it to be?
Seek the Lord with everything within you in your singleness!
Chase after God when you single! Seek Him, pursue Him!
This is the time you discover who you are in God.
Your identity and worth should be in God alone and not a man or
woman.
A man dear sister will not complete you.
A woman dear brother will not complete you.
God is the only one that makes you whole. He is the one
who will complete you.
In your singleness learn this truth.
Rely on the Lord, run to Him, trust Him!
Are you living a life of purity in thought and deed?
What a challenge this is. But it’s a challenge to accept!
The world has made it crystal clear that there is no place
in it for purity!
It’s no longer honorable to be a virgin
People look at you funny if you haven’t dated
If you are dating it’s not cool to be with one person!
Kiss whoever you want, have sex with whoever you want, watch
whatever you want, think however you want, it’s
cool says the world. Do what you feel, it’s your life!
But that’s not God’s standard. He says if we even think
lustfully, we have sinned.
As He is is holy we must be holy. (He wasn’t suggesting, He was
commanding!)
Treat the young girls like your sisters and the older women
like your mothers!
The standard is high friends!
Like vision, living a life of purity is not a one day gig.
It is a life time thing.
It’s never too late to live a life of purity. When you fall keep
getting back up. I will admit the fight has become more intense,
more brutal. But we have to keep fighting to live a pure life.
I have fallen numerous times but I keep getting up.
Let’s live a life of purity in our singleness.
By now, I hope you are beginning to see how important your
season of singleness is.
It’s an exciting time of discovering who you are in God,
hearing from God, engaging the enemy, learning
new things.
Life doesn’t start when you get married, it starts now when
you are single.
We need God in our singleness. We need God in our marriages!
We need God period!
You have a decision to make for those of you who are
single.
You can make a decision to have the best time of your life
in your singleness or you can remain worried and stressed about
something God has already dealt with. He has got this!
He knows exactly who you are going to marry.
Bring your anxiety to Him. Let Him carry your burdens.
There is so much more we need to be doing now in this
season!
What will you decide??
God bless you friends

I just sent this weekly encouragement scripture through my ministry group text😊 It wasn’t about being single but about drawing nigh to him, he is everything we need! Stay Strong
He is everything we need! May we get this truth in our spirits!
Thank you
Rolain
Yes! Amen , You’re Welcome
Great stuff. There’s a ton of LIFE to be found right now. That we believe otherwise shows we’ve swallowed a lie: “God can’t make me happy.” Break it, singles. He can.
That’s it Brandon.
God has so much life for us to live!

So much here! One point that resonates with me is how being single really is a blessing as there is nothing dividing our attention. Once we begin to understand what it really means to be complete in Christ, and we begin to really be that way, we can’t question if our security is coming from a partner as there is no partner! I’m also learning to trust that what I’m doing now, God knows I will do it better on my own. So, yes, live my life right now! If a time ever comes when He brings a partner in my life, I trust it will be because He’s got something for both of us to do that can only be completed by being together.
Amen Lynn.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I think being secure in who we are in Christ is so important. That’s the true definition of being single (whole, complete, one)
Bless you

This is an excellent post, Rolain! I know that being single is hard, especially when you are seeking to maintain purity. But you are right, singleness is the best time to grow, work on yourself, pursue the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. God knows our frame that we are dust. We can lay our desires at his feet and keep living to please him, and he will give you the desire of your heart.
Great post. I will share on my Facebook page.
HI Barbara.
Sorry for such a late reply!! I thought I replied you but just realized I hadn’t 😳
Thank you for sharing this post on your Facebook page. Bless you.
This truly blessed me, really needed to read this!
Hi Colleen.
I am glad this post blessed you. All glory to God!
Rolain
Amen and Amen!! This is a great challenge Rolain! “Life doesn’t start when you’re married…” -love that! It’s really hard to explain this to people in my life right now who don’t expect me to be content and joyful in this season of singleness. But it’s been the best time of my life and I thank the Lord for the freedom to serve now and the strengthening of my relationship with Him.
Thanks Hannah!
It’s about changing the way we view singleness from how we see it to how God sees it. He sees it as a season of tremendous blessing.
It should be the norm to be at peace and content in our singleness.
I love the mindset you have and the peace and the content-ness you have. That’s what it’s all about. That is such an encouragement Hannah. Bless you for focusing on Him and choosing not to confirm to the pressure of other people!
