The single crowd, Gods chosen?

Hey guys and gals! I will not be talking about books today. Yes I know, very sad right? Let me start off by saying I am 24 and have yet to go on my first date.  I want this blog to be an encouragement to those of you who are single,whether by choice or because it is not ur time yet.

Paul said it, "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do" in the beginning of 1 Corinthians chapter 7; 8-9.  For some this idea is fine, the prospect of remaining single does not concern them. For others the idea is scary.  Which is correct? Is it better to stay single and focus on God or to get married and have your attention divided?  Can a person truly give all of themselves if they are divided between a mate and God?  Paul continues by saying  "But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion."  I think every person has to figure out that answer for themselves.  There is no one solution for everyone. God has called some to be single, and have prepared a husband, or wife for u guys out there,  for others.  To the ones who are like me and desire to find the person God has planned, I think it is important to let God use us in our singleness. God has a purpose for us while we are not in relationships. I believe he  wants us to focus on the love affair he has with us as his people. It is easy to forget that God not only has love for us as a father, but also as a groom for his bride.  Let us not get distracted from the fact that this was why we were created, to have a relationship with God. If we wait upon him, and focus on doing his will, he will bring the person for us in his timing. I know it can be hard while waiting, but God's will and plan is perfect. May God Bless you and your family!r
