Dear “Matured” Single 😅

Dear “Matured” Single 😅

We’re in August, o! Before you start lamenting, “God, whennn?!” Before you run to ori-oke to inquire of the gods whom you must appease to end this cycle of singlenessssss😩😭😅, please note: Singleness is not a punishment for past sins, and marriage is not a stamp of approval from God, either.

Life is present-continuous, unending, season upon season, time upon time. There is no end, because even when we die it continues somewhere else. Your experiences depend on the story of your life, the chapter you’re in and how much you trust God each day.
⠀
Trusting in God is different from Trusting that God will give you something. Trusting God for something that hasn’t come is all well and good - but also a little pointless because there’s nothing you can do about it. Rather, trust in God, knowing that He’s got you - whether or not you get the things you want.
⠀
I’m rambling a bit but look: God isn’t punishing you. And if you’re in God, then it’s not your village people, either 😅 It’s just that the chapter you’re in has a different theme and subject-matter.
⠀
Stop waiting for your imagination to come to pass; you have no idea what God has written in your life’s book. Finish acting this scene, first, then we’ll see what the next page brings.

And while you’re living fully (not “waiting”❗️), a word:

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV

⠀

Selah.
