Single for a purpose
extract and paraphrased from When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric & Leslie Ludy:
In His ever gentle way, He picks me up onto His lap, wraps His big strong arms around me, wipes away my tears of longing and pain, and whispers into my ear, "Its all right, little child. Just rest your head on My shoulder. I will take care of you. This world is always in a hurry, but I teach My children patience. Live, expecting a full and joyous life. And learn to trust My perfect timing so that you may discover that all the pain found in waiting has a magnificent and awesome purpose."
"Be still, and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10
As i welcome in the new year, still swinging single and in anticipation of my quarter-life crisis (haha), i am resolute that i shall not fall for just any jerk that comes my way - which has totally been my tendency. shame on me for even considering a non-christian, convincing myself that its ok la, he's a good catch! he has none of the deadly vices. =( but wat good is a relationship without my Lord in the center of it?
i've got radically high standards and its ok! i wont lower them, bcoz thats exactly what my Father would want me to have. even what i deserve, if i might be so bold to say so... therefore, I will wait, and be radiant in singleness. =)
