A Love Worth Finding

I know it can be tough being single and especially tough when it falls on this blasted pagan day that we know as "Valentine's Day." Ugh, right? Well, don't fret too prematurely. Being single is not such a bad thing regardless of what society might tell you. Being single can sometimes be something that we have absolute no control over and that's okay, too.

Whether divorce, death, or choice leaves you alone this year, know that there is One who will never leave you. Out of all the boyfriends or girlfriends, husbands or wives you may have gone through, God WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU. Sometimes I think that we put too much emphasis on a person and in return, we lose sight of the One who loves us unconditionally.

I, unfortunately, am not an affectionate person...just ask my husband. Ever since the day we started dating, I never made a move. I was a single mom at that time and I was working 3 jobs with a child to raise and with bitterness hanging over my shoulder like a dead weight, I wasn't about to go chase some guy down for attention. No ma'am. I always allowed Dustin (my husband) to make the first move because I just never could focus enough to slow down and give that time of affection to him. Fortunately, my husband is super affectionate and has to have constant attention so it balances itself out in our situation (I still tease him to this day when I dub him as the woman of the relationship! lol).

So, if finding yourself single this time around, please keep in mind that you have someone who loves you and what's more delightful than knowing that He will never leave you nor forsake you. When I think of God's unwavering love, Romans 8:37-39 immediately comes to mind:

"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Be patient. God will send you the one when you put Him as thee top priority in your life. Focus on Him, keep that nose stuck in God's Word, pray diligently, and you will find yourself slowly leading to a direction that is not only pleasing to you, but to God. So go out and have fun today and focus on what you should be focusing on. Take a friend out, a loved one, or just stay home and relax while you can! The 14th will pass soon and the 15th will be just another day, so enjoy each day fully as long as they last! Do a deed! :)
