I want to encourage every lonely person reading this post
to realize from your innermost depths - not just in the surface of your
thoughts, but down in the depth of your soul - that you are not alone (Hebrews 13:5; Psalm 46:7, 62:5). God
is your husband and Jesus is the lover of your soul (Isaiah 54:5; John 3:16). Having a
loving and nurturing mate in your life is just not as important as you think it
is.
If God wanted you to have a special human relationship
right now, He would certainly provide one for you. He cares about every area of
your life. You can enjoy God’s total peace, if you will completely surrender
this issue to the Lord. It is usually not until you are completely happy with
Jesus, and realize that you do not really need a loving mate, that God will
provide you with a fulfilled marriage.
The only thing in this life that is truly exciting and
fulfilling is serving our King Jesus. When we look for happiness from people or
circumstance, we are disappointed. But, when we allow God's Spirit to direct
our steps, we find pure joy. Listen to the Spirit, and let Him direct your
steps (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Soon you will be so busy for God that you will realize that you are already
complete and whole in Him (Colossians
2:10).
We
cannot change our life by worrying about anything, or by wishing, hoping or
dreaming that it will change. We can take a lesson from the flowers. They bloom
right where they are planted. God provides everything they need. We can have the assurance that
God will provide for us too. We are even more valuable to God than any bird,
animal or tree (Luke 2:27-28).
Start
counting your blessings. Stop looking at what you do not have and start
thanking God for what you do have. Before long, He will start giving you even
more than you ever dreamed possible. He puts His desires in our heart and
fulfills them for us (Psalm 37:4). If having a mate is His desire, He will certainly bring one to
you in His timing and way.

Several
of my friends wanted to divorce their ungodly husbands. Each one decided not to get a divorce and instead to get
her own apartment. She continued to be friends with her husband. God honored
their commitment and trust and worked in all of these men's lives.

Trust
God and you will have your own story to tell too.
Prayer:
Father
God, we want to seek You and Your Kingdom first and stop worrying about the
things, which unbelievers are concerned about (Matthew 6:25-33; Luke 12:22-31). We know that You have our best
interest in Your heart and that You will supply every one of our needs from
Your glorious riches (Philippians
4:19). Help us to focus on You and Your will for us instead of
our own will for our life. Remind us that You love us so much that You sent
Your Son to die for us.
Thought for the Day:
As we place our hope solely in the Lord, we will find true
joy, contentment and peace.
