Title
Single
  Description
Over and over I used to say in my heart that I had missed it. Because I was so wounded for so long I had missed the man God had for me to marry. I wept and cried and felt in despair. It was all my fault. Somewhere in the world was the man I was supposed to have married but I had messed things all up and now someone else had him, and I was alone. the enemy tormented me day and night with guilt and self pity. Then one day in church God spoke to me. He said, \"You cant lose what was never yours\". It hit me, I hadnt missed finding my man, there WAS no man God had picked out for me. I was single because God had not brought a husband for me. If He had wanted me married, He would have brought him into my life, but He didnt. That set me free! No more guilt and shame. No more pain. I am single because it is Gods will for me. UP to now anyway, who knows about the future. But well, I am 56...But I no longer even think about it, I am content to be single and doing what He calls me to do.

Hello,I lost for words for am really touched by your testimony.To come to that point of realizing that really it could be that this,being single, is the will of God in my life and have no regrets about it, is challenge that many of us ought to learn. At 56 you can still get that person that God purposed for you in life.I believe there is no time frame as to marriage age and non marriage age.I also beleieve that we have been decieved that we must have a companion in life for us to be complete.That should'nt be the case all we have to do is listen and listen carefully to know the will of God in this matter.if we get a spouse ,well,we praise Him and if not we as well do praise Him. Be encouraged sister and God bless you and use you to minister to other single sisters that are discouraged and think that something is wrong with them or that God has failed in one way or another or that they have sinned...ALL THINGS WORK OUT TOGETHER FOR OUR GOOD.

Hi my fellow sisters in Christ, I just wanted to give a few words of encouragement to all us single women who are waiting. As I read the previous reply about the sister who is 56 and still waiting I thought about the story of Jacob, Leah and Rachel. Jacob's choice was Rachel as we all know and that he loved Rachel and was tricked with Leah and all the time Leah spent with him she dealt with feelings of rejection which is something we feel being single and looking upon other women who are married and my word of encouragement is just as God remembered Leah at the end with the last child and she found happiness he is going to remember all of us who are also Leahs who are wanting love from a companion and when you look at that story even though Jacob loved and favored Rachel so but Leah was the one buried beside him and not Rachel. So through all your loneliness, brokeness, weariness God will and he shall remember you for he said no good thing would he with hold from them that walk upright before him and he also said it is not good for man to be alone. finally he said his thoughts of us was good and not evil to take us to our expected end so therefore we shall receive ever promise that he has made unto us and he has no respect of person. So walk in faith and prepare for your mate when you fix dinner always set a place setting for him. When you step out step out as though each day is the day you will meet him. God bless and I look forward to your testamonies.

I,too, dreamed of finding that perfect someone and having the perfect life with him. But it hasn't happened. For so long I wondered why, especailly as others all around me were marrying and I continued to remain single birthday after birthday. Four years ago, I was gave my life to the Lord and was Born Again. I am amazed how much revelation I have received. Now I understand that my priorities were not in proper order. Had the Lord sent that special someone earlier I would have turned my devotion, thoughts and total love to him. Since the Lord has blessed although I have not found that special oerson , I realize that God is my All in All. He send help when I need; It is written that He will never leave me nor forsake. Being without a mate, has caused me to totally surrender to the Lord. I am happy, I am free to work within my local church and I know that if and when the Lord wants me to have a husband ,He will place that SPECIAL PERSON in my life. We must B E L I E V E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
