Singleness

As a single adult you are confronted by society with some basic issues. You will handle them if you follow two principles.

Principle 1: Accept Your Singleness ♥

A man or woman is free to choose singleness and should find  full acceptance in the community,society or the church. You may have trouble accepting yourself as a single. You may ask what makes you happy? You may let attitudes around you undermine your confidence. Stop! Don’t let yourself feel inferior or incomplete. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. God accepts you where  you are. You should do the same. Realize that you are worthy of your life and live it accordingly.

Principle 2: Face Up to Your Needs ♥

Singleness carries with it certain needs. It does not good to dodge them.Just be good at where you are and don’t manipulate your environment to fit your needs.

1. A sense of purpose : You may have put your life on hold waiting for Mr. Right or Ms. Wonderful to come along. But you need to form a strong life-plan right now. Set some realistic personal goals. Make some of them spiritual.

2. Loneliness : One of the greatest problems of our society is loneliness. Accept the fact that you don’t like being alone, and then do something about it. Start by finding a group,a church or community that has a healthy atmosphere where good friendships can develop.

3. Sexuality : Find a group, community or church where you can get solid biblical teachings about sexuality that takes your situation into account. Look for a church that does not accept the myth that all singles are living sexually frustrated live, or that “there must be something wrong”.

4. Contentment : As a single,you may long for things you do not have like a mate or children. But realize that contentment for everyone single or not,begins ands ends with God.(Tim. 6:6) Contentment is to be found in enjoying God. (Ph. 4:11-12)

5. Service : Look for opportunities to serve the Lord and the others. As a child of God and remember being a single you maybe in position to do things other cannot do. Its amazing how our own concerns shrinks when we enter into struggles and burdens of others. Pick an advocate. share your life and touch lives. What we’ve done for ourselves dies with us,but what we’ve done for others remains.We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.You may succeed in many areas,but if you fail to learn how to love God and to love others… you’ll have missed the reason why God created you.
