Singleness

Singleness is a state or quality of being single. I speak from this topic with a lot of insight because I have been single by the world standards for about 9 years and from a spiritual standard for about 6 years. I know someone is saying what is the difference? The world considers you single if you have no man or woman in your life. Spiritual singleness is you having no man or woman on your mind. Let me explain, when I got rid of my boyfriend, he moved out the house but it took about a year for him to move out of my heart. I still thought of him, talk to him, reminisce about him. In other words, he was still in my spirit. It took a lot of deliverance through prayer, fasting, and the word of God. When I finally conquered him, I still wasn’t single because my desire was to be with someone. I wanted to be married, I wanted to have someone in my life. So, I still pursued men. Spiritual singleness is singleness in heart. When I got my spirit right, I was able to serve God with all my heart and not worry about if I find a man or not. I was content with the state the God had me in. There is nothing wrong with

wanting to be married, but we should never fill rushed or pressured to do anything especially something as important as marriage. Marriage is ordained by God and is a ministry. We should never take it lightly. If you are married that is a blessing, but being single is a blessing too. You have to embrace your singleness. The only person I have to answer to is God. I have gone to Christian concerts, plays, and different countries and didn’t have to ask for nobodies’ permission. A married woman couldn’t say the same. This isn’t to say that singleness doesn’t come with its own struggles and difficulties, but God always has a reason for challenging us with these struggles. God’s plan is different for each of us and we have to accept the plan He has for us. In Isaiah 55:9, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts”. God knows what he is doing and you being single now does not necessarily mean you will be single later. Wait on God and it will all work out, don’t force anything. In the meantime, if you are married enjoy, if you are single enjoy!
