What do we miss out when we’re married? What do we miss out when we enter a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship? We live in a time when the world tells us that getting married and having relationships is the norm – that it’s part of “getting there”.
I'm going to celebrate and use my singleness for God
We hear of love songs here and there, we see couples on the malls having a great time, we read love stories, watch romance films. Love, as the world knows and defines it, is everywhere. We always see the pretty side of it – that it feels good, it’s pleasurable, it’s exciting, etc. What we don’t see is what we already have.
Being single is a gift from God. It’s a season in your life where you can focus entirely on Him. In this life, you will have time for everything – set by God and appointed ultimately by Him. There will be the years for your family and when it comes, your season for singleness will be over – and it will never come back again.
I didn’t appreciate my singleness until I’ve read the book “I kissed dating goodbye”. I always felt like looking forward to marriage and that special someone God has prepared for me – I didn’t look at what I had right now and how I’ll lose it once I entered into a relationship.
You’ll only stay single for about a fourth of your life. Learn to appreciate it. Maximize it to develop yourself in Christ. Learn how to really love – to want what’s best for the other person, not just to want to feel loved because it’s pleasurable. All the things you need to know in a relationship can be developed best while you are single. It is a gift from God – even Adam and Eve were single for some time. Think about it.
hey Sean!!!XD
yes, you are right… being single IS a blessing and most people don’t know what a good thing it is until they lose it…
when you are single, it is the chance to grow more in the Lord as He prepares you for that special person He as chosen for you… para pagdating ng special person na un, you are ready… kinda like going into marriage, but the difference is you both grow as a couple nman….
GBU…=)
Naisip ko lang will I ever be married?
Pero it’s fun to be single– (tsk tsk, focus kasi sa self, which is bad), dapat pala kay God.
Thanks Sean!
Thank you Lord God! for singlehood!
Yeah =D so let’s appreciate our singleness and use it for His glory
Praise God =)
Most probably you and I will marry hahaha! XD
I didn’t appreciate my singleness until I’ve read the book “I kissed dating goodbye”.
Amen!
Nice, Sean. Are you getting married? Why aren’t you telling us? T_T
:))
Hahaha. Heck no. XD
If ever I am, you’ll be sure to know =)
Pero baka mauna pa kayo saken eh hahaha!
NICE! 😀
I definitely agree with this. So many people want to rush things, but youth and singleness is truly a gift from God. They all want to fast-forward to a time they’re not truly ready for.
P.S. I’ll still marry when I’ve enjoyed my gift of singleness…
Or are you usign your pogi pic to advertise that you are singleness? haha. 😀 Joke!
Hahaha same here. I hope God would be more glorified in my marriage – but as of now I want to glorify Him with my singleness =)
Thanks Marion =)

Hi sean! I am new in this blog, my friend recommended your site for me to more about Christian life. I am lamb in this world and I want to grow up of being a Christian. Your site helps a lot to understand more and do what is right. I have many question in my mind that I need an answer and thank for site. God Bless! – mae:)
Hello Mae,
Really glad to have you as my reader 🙂 I hope and pray that you find wisdom in this blogsite that God has blessed me with. Tell your friend thanks for me. God bless you!
Marriage will become less desirable as “the love of many [waxes] cold,” for, “woe unto them that are with child, and that give suck in those days!”
It should be no surprise that being single is more desirable now than ever before.
I read the book “I kissed dating goodbye” gave me such a new perspective in my walk with God I find such joy & peace knowing I can do so much in my single life for his glory its such a Blessing (:
Hey Angela,
That is a really good book in helping you change your perspectives in relationships and dating and marriage. I’m glad that you invest wisdom in yourself by reading such books 🙂
