Some singles see the lack of a mate as God denying them something for a more 'noble purpose'- a cross to bear! Our selfish nature tends to focus on what we do not have rather than on what we do have-free time- that can be used for other and ourselves. Is your life on hold until you have someone to hold?
...Have you experienced...a crushing emotional blow?... Psalm 34:18 says, 'The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit'. [A] brokenhearted woman had put her life on hold after her her husband divorced her. Such a response is understandable, but...this now single woman decided to take her broken heart, her empty arms, and her loneliness and give them to Jesus.
In exchange, Jesus taught her how to resist feeling sorry for herself and how to stop living in the arena of bitterness. After she made the choice of recklessly abandoning herself to Jesus as Lord, she was free to serve Him. This once brokenhearted single woman has been transformed into a fearless servant of the Lord...
Have you also put your life on hold?
Do you have an excuse for not serving Jesus?
