Now that we know that all singles have a common duty but don’t have all things in common, and that accepting yourself leads to single satisfaction let’s conclude the ways I have found to make my success in being single and satisfied. Treat yourself. Look there is no reason for any single person to be cooped up in the house all the time. Get out! Enjoy yourself. How else will you be able to meet people and fellowship? A friend of mine used to joke that the only way she was probably going to get married was if the pizza man asked her, because for so long that was the only person that she saw outside of work. Now that seems funny to some but think about it. How often do you just go out and enjoy being you. Enjoy who you are and revel in what God has done for you. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son … John 3:16 . Take yourself on a date. Get a pedicure, manicure, a haircut or stitch some weave in. Whatever makes you feel good, do it! Don’t wait for anyone to vali...

Are you ready for part two? If you missed part one, here is the link, Single & Satisfied Part One . I am not single but I am loving this post. ------------------------------------------ Single & Satisfied Part Two Now that we know that all singles have a common duty but don’t have all things in common, let’s look at another way I have found to build my success in being single and satisfied. You must accept yourself. Seems simple at first; however, this is what is tripping most singles up. Most of us haven’t determined who we are spiritually, mentally and/or physically.

Christ speaks of love as one of the greatest things that you could do of him, others and of yourself (Deuteronomy 6:5; Leviticus 19:18). However, we just can’t seem to apply this to ourselves most of the time. It is almost as if it is a disease to lov...

There is this ever raging debate as to whether someone can be truly happy if they are single. I say ... Most Definitely! In a society where images are displayed which feed into the notion that every woman must have a man to exist, and vice versa, it is ever more pressing that you have Christ to guide you. I know from personal experience that He is the only thing that can move you to a place where you accept who you are and use that to serve him. Webster defines being single as follows; being alone, being the only one, having only one feature or part, solitary, separate, lone, unmarried . Funny how unmarried is the only positive word – and yes it is positive – in this definition. If you leave it up to Webster, it is no wonder that most singles feel depressed or lonely at least ninety percent of the time. Thinking like this causes you to be less than what Christ has called you to be. We must understand that unmarried is the only thing that speaks to single Christians. At the now tender a...
