I have struggled with the desire to be in a committed relationship for some time. No matter how hard I pray, the loneliness never seems to go away. But tonight, I was reminded of something that I have forgotten, the Gift that being single has.
1 Corinthians 7:34 says "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. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of the world, - how she can please her husband."
As a single woman, I have the gift of time, time to spend with my first Love: Jesus Christ. Rather than mourning what we do not have, we should treasure this time when we can be fully devoted to God and seeking His will and His presence.
