Being Single

Its GOOD to be single

I ran across this the other day and found it EXTREMELY encouraging!

What makes you think that just because I am an attractive woman of God
that I'm incomplete without a mate? Who told you that without a man
somethings missing from my life? And if so, what would that be?


Love? I love myself and more importantly I love the Lord. He told me
that when I delight in Him, He will give me the desires of my heart.

Security? I have everything I need according to His riches in glory.

Intimacy? Now, how's a man going to get to know me when he doesn't even know who he is in the Lord.

See my Father told me I'm above a ruby's worth and a gem does not seek,
it is sought. I'm single and that's all right with me. See, it's not
that I oppose relationships it's that I detest co-dependency. As a
woman I know it is not my role to chase after any man. Esther 2:14
reads that I am to wait on my king and when he's delighted in me he
will call me by my name.

My Lord does not intend for me to be needy or desperate. I am to be
cherished, Relished, Valued, and Honored. It's not my job to convince
him or convict him of that. My mate will already know it and
consistently show it and he will stay on his knees daily - not just to
adore me but to praise the Lord for the virtuous woman he has found.

So, when you see me by myself - I'm not alone. I know what I have
coming to me. I'm single and saved, and right now that's all I need to
be!

Lol, I feel like we have our own little school of the prophets, and it just goes to show the fact that God is able to put together those who are of like mind, who have similar situations, and who have gone through similar situations. We know that we are not alone, that what we walk through daily is common to man, and woman:), and that we are able to encourage ourselves and others through faith and testimony that God is not a man that He should lie, neither the Son of man that He should repent of what He has said. That's great news, especially when we begin to doubt God's word. We can turn that doubt within ourselves, and say, "God, I believe (whatever You told me about my future and how I can give you glory), but help my unbelief." God is such a God of grace. I have had a series of defunct mornings, but I am stubbornly looking at the Word and the world and to see the great contrast. God said it was not good for a man and woman to be alone. We are supposed to look like Elohim, and produce godly offspring who will honor Him and walk in His statutes. I believe that God will do whatever it takes to maintain His glory and in such a way that His Word will still be line upon line, precept upon precept, without violating the design of God.

I believe that man can subvert the design of God. We see it everyday. But I know that when God tells me the outcome, it is because He has already seen the end from the beginning. He already knows what we need, and He is making our mates for us. So, we all have spiritual, relational and eternal longings. The spirit of loneliness tries to connect to us with the spirit of fear. But perfect love cast out all fear. I am preaching to myself. The bottom line is that when God gives you that type of knowledge, He also says, "It is finished," because He is a God of eternity that steps into our time, but not only that, everything He has ever done for us was already done for us. That's good news. In my humanness, I forget that, but the truth is the truth. He has already done everything for me. I am just intersecting with my blessings and trials and shaping, and going from glory to glory, along the lifewalk that God has given me in my length of days. You guys have encouraged me once again.

Thanks for that word Lightbeam, i just came in contact with Mark 11 23-24, and i realised that all we really need to do is believe without doubting. God is always true to His word.

I have a question. How do u know if that person is for you? I know there's someone out there for me because i feel it in my spirit, & they feel close by. I think I may have found him but there's a problem. We've dated before & it did'nt end well. When trust is broken its hard to rebuild it. I've had dreams about him my mother & her friend came to me in that dream & told me that he's the one for me but he's not ready which i understand being that we both have things to work on in our lives. We were hanging out one day & there was something that he said I just pieced this together recently. My best had a dream that i was pregnant & i said something about taco bell.(In my waking life) My ex said something about me being pregnant & going to taco bell. These two people dont know each other from a can of paint & they've said the same things lol. I dont know how to make heads or tails of weather he's the one for me or not...True Fight, thank you for bringing that to our attention I never would have thought or looked at it that way...I pray that what you've told us helps us aim towards a stronger relationship with the lord...thanks

Raye,
The only advice I can give you about "knowing" if this man is your husband is to do what I did. I humbly went to God and was honest with Him about my feelings towards this man. I then asked Him to confirm or correct if he was the man He chose for me to be my husband. He answered me quickly. I must say you have to REALLY want Him to answer because it may not be what you want to hear. In my case, it wasn't what I wanted to hear but what could I do...I asked, right?!
