singleness is a gift, not a problem

hey all!!

I was just speaking to an old friend who shared with me, that he felt being single was a problem. He realised though, that he was able to spend so much more time with God being single. How true is that? I don't grudge relationships at all, please don't misunderstand me, but a relationship requires a lot of time and committment. That is not a bad thing, obviously relationships need a lot of work put into them, that is the only way they will last. Am I right?

From my own experience, keeping a relationship from sinking, can be a never ending job. It can be so exhausting and you can feel like you are doing all the work...ever felt like that? You begin to wonder, what's the point? You are putting more into this relationship than he is, and he's the one getting more out of it. On the other hand, you could be in a wonderful relationship where everything is working out great. Both are putting what is needed into the relationship and the scales are balanced. You both get a lot out of the relationship and can see a very positive future... if that's you, I'm so happy for you...but I can't write anymore on that, because you can't write about something you have never experienced. (well I could, but I wouldn't be able to do it justice).

I think, that this type of relationhip, is the kind you should want to have with you creator. What has He put into it? He has only given you life, oxgen, a family, friends, safety, warmth...in fact He has given you everything that you own. He has given you so much love, you cannot even begin to comprehend. HE loves you to death...even death on a cross. Have you given any of that back to Him? Most of it we can't, but we can do this. We can love Him, follow Him, trust Him and worship Him. He has given us that gift. Why would you want to risk that?

But people, remember...a relationship is not the only thing that can distract you and occupy your time, thousands of other thing can...but it's all about priority.

peace
