SINGLES, DIVORCED, MARRIED SOUND OFF !! - Singleness is a Gift?!? Where can I Exchange It..

So what is this crazy little thing called love anyway? Are we looking for it in all the wrong places? Is love a good thing? Do we need....really need it, or is it over-rated?

What about singleness? Is it really a gift? And if so, where can we exchange it?

Love(Christ) has already found me, however, love from a significant other, for some reason keeps skipping in the game call love. I wouldnt say, I'm looking in the wrong places, because I've finally realize my worth, and now know that He must find me. Love is definitely a great thing, when nutured mutually by sincere individuals. Yes we need love, the word of God mentions it numerous times in the new and old testament. For example Ephesians 1 Corinthians 13, mentions alot about love, how essential it is, and how it should have longevity.

Now singleness, I can definitaley relate to, feels like i've been single 4ever, however in Gods eyes it may have only been 1 day lolz. Is it a gift, somewhat, until moments of loneliness setting in. A gift in the sense of, one being free to do whatever he/she may desire doing at any point in time, without having to 1st clear it w/ a spouse. Then on the flip side, sometimes I do feel like trading it in when I feel like Gods taking forever. Lol where can we exchange it...

I feel like we should enjoy each stage of our lives because there will come a time where we wont be single...(and not saying when were married we'll wish we were single lol!!) but we should learn to be patient and wait on God and take advantage of the wait!!

I agree with ya'll wholeheartedly,
I'm currently single and you know, I've found that I am more available to do God's work. I hate to call my ex-boyfriend a distration, lol, but he kinda was. I noticed I would have the wrong focus sometimes, and have to pull it in to regroup. My spritual life isn't the only area that I've been improving in, with all this "new found time" I've made an efford to hit the gym to get my "work-out" on. I feel great all the way around.
There is a time and season for everything, right? For me, this is a time about me...yeah, I'm bein selfish, lol. Besides, finding a man isn't my job. The bible says nothing about a WOMAN tryin to find a HUSBAND....but Proverbs 18;22 does say "a MAN that findeth a WIFE findeth a good thing." I

Very good point. When we're married we will want the gift of singleness back. We just have to trust God to know what's right for us. ;)

This was sent by my friend. Here is what he stated:
" You don't exchange a gift someone takes the time manifest and offer to you, you accept it and take the time to open it and delight in it. When you give a gift to someone, doesn't it make you happy to see them enjoy it? Doesn't it provoke you to want to give to them again? Do you make them give you the first gift back so you can give them another? Selah. A union or "covenant" is not an even swap, it is an increase evenly shared by those who make an offering or "gift" in to it. If you want your life to be different, then don't look for someone just like you. If you do, now there is two of you looking for same something different and if you walk the same path, only one of you is going to find what you both are looking for first and the other ends up... can anybody guess the rest of this truth? You are asking questions that will take a lifetime to explain but only a moment to understand. A very wise and knowledgable old man once told me that everyone's looking for God on their terms instead of preparing to accept Him on his. How often does that apply to the way we treat each other and ourselves? Selah!If you feel sometimes you are looking in all the wrong places, maybe you need to find more questions first. Hint: Love is not a person, place or thing, it is an expression. Try to figure out an expression of what. This will start you on a path that will unravel one mystery after another. That is a promise from the one who taught me and still is. "

Amen! I too would like to know where to exchange this gift! Lol. But patientce is what we are to learn. That it's not done in our timing but always in His.
