Lessons learnt in singleness 🤓

Dating does put a spotlight on our insecurities. We are all broken souls in broken vessels. We can glue the outer shell, and glaze the pot: but inside we all have human weakness. The danger in masking our human weakness is that we forget that His strength is perfected in weakness. It’s better for us to wear our weakness.

I'm learning to be patient and obedience I believe God will send me the person who he wants me to be with in due time

To be in the moment with family ( mom and dad) and friends who are caring for you at every moment. Being yourself in this season of life.

I learned that I have been single since birth because we have to love God first before we find the one. I'm glad to have found Jesus at the age of 29 and devoted myself completely to Him.

That the love described in 1 Corinthians 13 is more valuable than the love at the end of most movies. Per Romans, we can never be separated from this love thanks to Christ. Though we are not promised a spouse, the love we are promised through Christ, and hopefully experience through His followers as well, is even more valuable.

Bendiciones para todos. Que nuestro amor sea un reflejo de Tu amor, un amor que no busca su propio interés, sino que se desborda en actos de generosidad y sacrificio. Que siempre pongamos a nuestra pareja por encima de nosotros mismos, buscando su bienestar y su felicidad. Que Dios nos conceda esa ayuda idónea que anhelamos.🙏🙏🙏

“Draw near to the Lord and He will draw near to you!” The Lord is extremely sensitive, intimate, and very personal. He loves it when you genuinely want to know him more and for who He is. ♥️✨ What is He teaching me right now? His character. 😊 He’s so gentle, kind, funny, and loving. He’s very conversational too and He values my input. 🌸

To not listen to the words but pay attention to actions and to trust God implicitly

I have learned that it is okay to be single! I think God keeps us single to learn that we really only need him!

It is more about yourself than your crush. So look inward

That a decade single is not as long or as bad as people think it is.

If you feel invisible at church, don’t think that works when robbing a bank

That I am quite good at DIY!

God is teaching me to learn more about myself and heal the hurt from the past

Psalm Ch31v14-15 ''I trust you Lord...my times are in your hands"

We we all find true love in Jesus name 🙏🏿

After the pains of breakup, l figured Love is a disease, physiologically it bears a striking similarity to a disease ( a series of biochemical responses that trigger an emotional cascade impairing normal functioning) and yet we are willing to live with the symptoms. The pains of the wounds made me conclude that love was a human weakens, but without true love(through singleness)l have clearly come to learn that it can also be a source of strength, hence l have learnt my analogy was flawed.

Patience. That when Im good and ready I'll meet my life partner.

I have learned that what is not handled in singleness will prosper in future relationships/marriage. It is very important to heal from past wounds or even healing from the expectations of wanting marriage or a partner. Accepting God unconditional love for me and His plans that differ from mine throughout seasons is the lessons I have learned thus far.

Never bend my convictions to accomodate people

That I can sleep in as long as I like? 😄

Ive learned that I shouldnt focus on women too much. Just following Gods plan for my life and trusting that he will do what is right. So also learning to accept current situations which I cant change

So true Mariana.

To be broken before the Lord and Trust that His timing and His plan are perfect. Right now, I'm happy to serve Him with my sister's Christ in our discipleship journey with Jesus.

It's given me the time and motivation to pursue intimacy with Jesus and I just keep discovering more and more of the depths of his love for me. Right now I'm living with a married couple which, for me, makes it less easy to be content being single, but I find so much comfort that Jesus always wants to hang out with me and I belong to him.

I’ve never been married or been on a single date in my lifetime and I’m almost 40 so I don’t know what God wants to teach me to be honest. 🤣 I guess I’ve learned how to be comfortable with being and doing things alone but other than that I’m not sure.

That I am my Beloved’s and He is mine.

Self-Discovery: Being single allows you to explore your interests, values, and goals without the influence of a partner.

Lean not on your own understanding and stop rushing God's timing for His ways are higher and so much better than ours. That applies in every area of life, I think.
