- Do you tend to see marriage as superior to singlehood—or vice versa? Where do you this value system comes from?
- What difference would it make for you to see your singlehood or marriage as a “gift”—that is, a God-empowered calling to serve others?
Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living.
Jim Elliot
Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there. You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances, and if you had the choosing of your lot, you would soon cry, 'Lord, choose my inheritance for me, for by my self-will I am pierced through with many sorrows.' Be content with such things as you have, since the Lord has ordered all things for your good.
Charles Spurgeon
My identity is not found in my marital status but in my redemptive status. I 'm one of the “haves,” not one of the “have-nots.” It is a cosmic impossibility for God to shortchange any of his children.
