Singleness

Yeah...one of the biggest issues our age group seems to deal with. Sometimes we seem to go through seasons in our walks with the Lord. And while there are some seasons that we're perfectly content with our singleness, there are others that loneliness becomes a real struggle. What we need to guard ourselves from in such seasons is the danger of becoming consumed with searching for "the one." If we don't, we will slowly drift from the Lord because we become more concerned with seeking out a companion, than we are with seeking out Him. He knows our need and our heart, but he also knows the perfect time to bring that perfect one He has for us. His desire is that NOTHING distracts us from searching Him out, including a desire to search for someone else.

"For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:32, 33
