Singleness II

The Curse of Singleness Part II

While you might have laughed at the absurdity of the title, there are many Christian girls who do view singleness as a curse. Unfortunately, most of us single gals fall into this class. Admit it…how many of you girls have ever thought that you would just love to get this part of your life over, get married, have kids and live happily ever after. Yup. I thought so. Most of you have wished that. If you haven’t already…you will.
Thankfully, God did not stick the singleness season into your life for no reason. As with all things, God has the perfect plan. These years of our lives are THE MOST important. Why? Because they shape us into the women that we will be for the REST of our lives. We have these years to be taught and trained and whipped into the women that will make godly wives and mothers in the later years. How many of you have been somewhere in public and seen a young couple or family and thought that you would want to be just like that 10+ years down the road. We all have dreams or desires for the future and singleness is our training ground to work towards those dreams.
There are several key areas that we need to focus on as godly ladies so we can be women that honor God in the future.
1) Realize that God has a plan for you. Your times are in HIS hands. Every minute of your life has been planned down to the slightest detail. Please don’t waste your life wondering when Prince Charming will show. If he does come, he will come in God’s timing…..not yours.

2) Make God your center. God is training your for His work….Strive to become the woman that He desires you to be. Do you have a picture of the wife/mother you want to be? Take steps to become that….You don’t suddenly become patient, loving or compassionate when you get married….That is only the product of long years that you’ve shed blood, sweat and tears. It’s better to learn that BEFORE you get married…not after.

3) Don’t give your heart away to another. Your affections belongs to your future husband…anyone else who takes it is merely a thief. Here’s a good piece of advice: Treat EVERY man as ANOTHER woman’s husband. Would you flirt with another girl’s husband? Ya, I know….the thought is repulsive, but you get my point. 99% of the guys out there will be married to other women….Therefore, keep them out of heart and mind.

Gals….there is so much more I could say about singleness. If there is one thing that I want you to take away from this is that singleness is essentially your boot camp…Training you to become a godly woman. Make God the center of your heart….Wait patiently for His timing…And keep guys at arm’s length while you fall in love with CHRIST.
