To the Girl Who Struggles With Being Single,
I know that you may look around and see couples from coast to coast. Everyone has someone right? The media, your sorority, your church, your parents, and Facebook, EVERYONE pressures you to hurry and find the right someone so your life can be complete.
Young girl, I cannot tell you how many lies the devil has fed you through this. You were made beautifully and wonderfully. (Psalm 139) You are a complete, whole person, and you stand just as courageous singly as you do being 1/2 of a couple. God has great big plans for you! (Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 2:10) Some of these plans are to be completed while you are where you are! This time in your life has the more freedom than any other! Go and serve. (Mark 10:45) Let people see the hands and feet of Christ through your actions today!
And that lonely feeling--the one that comes when PDA-official couples come around--it's a tactic of Satan. (1 Peter 5:8) Let God fill you with love, patience, goodness, kindness, and everything wonderful. (James 1:17, Galatians 5:22-25) God is bigger, greater, stronger, and more fulfilling than all of that.
Some of us are in fact called to be single, therefore you should pray about having this calling on your life. Others of us are indeed destined to be married, in which you should be strong and wait for the Lord to fulfill his promise to you! (Psalm 27:14, Psalm 138:8) Your life is full and abundant not from having a man, but from having THE man. (Romans 5:8, John 3:16, 1 John 4:19, 1 John 4:8, John 10:10)
God loves you and wants you to seek him like you do boys. I promise you won't be let down. ;)
Sincerely,
Right there with ya
