POSITIVES OF SINGLENESS :  A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP

Thoughts for the Day


Many singles, without the responsibilities and distractions of marriage, have the time to develop a deeper and more intimate personal relationship with God. He wants us to know him-personally and intimately.

Developing that kind of relationship takes time. Of course, married people can develop a deep relationship with the Lord, but it is usually easier for single people to set aside time with him.

Consider This . . .



Paul said this . . .

I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord's work and thinking how to please him. But a married man has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband. I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.
1 Corinthians 7:32-35 NLT

Marriage is a gift from God . . . and so is singleness. Embrace each day! Draw close to God . . . and he will come close to you.

What other freedoms do you enjoy because you are single? Rejoice and be glad in each day!
