Singleness does not mean Rejection - Purpose

I am single for sometime now and one day I sat down and thought about my past life, difficult times and heart-aches I have experienced as a single person, even my childhood came upon  and an emptiness filled my heart. I always felt singled out when birthdays, social events, etc; comes up. The assumption that because you are single, you lack purpose or direction, is emotionally unstable, sexually frustrated and unfulfilled and there's always a stigma around you.

I sat down and started to weep for a long time and then became very quiet. I wanted to allow my true feelings to surface. In that moment for the first time, I knew that God had  become my emotional shield, my protector and my strong tower of defense and I was free to express my true self.

Perhaps in your own life, certain wounds have caused you to build walls and put up smoke screens. Perhaps the pain of separation or divorce has caused you to stop being genuine with others.

Every time you're around someone,  particularly the opposite sex, you put on a mask. It's not the real you. It's a protective shield to keep you from ever being hurt again.

God has taken you wounds and frustrations from multiple rejections and borne them so you may know healing, wholeness, release and freedom to love again in  Him.

God is saying to you today that you don't need those defenses any more. You don't need those masks.

You have got a better one - the Lord Himself.

He is calling you to take those hurts and release them to him. God wants you to lay the wounds of that divorce, the anger of loss in widowhood, or the frustration and pain of multiple rejections that you may have experience in the single life upon Him and you are complete in Him.

God has taken your wounds and frustrations from multiple rejections and borne them so you may know healing, wholeness, release and freedom to love again in Him.

Every person - whether single, married, or divorced is a complete person with abilities, talents, skills and promise. When you use your abilities to glorify God, He will purify you bless you beyond comparison.

God has a place and a purpose for you!

Purpose in life

Lord, I want my purpose in life to be glorify You in all I do.

When I see Your creation, I become so intensely aware of Your glory and majesty.

I want to give You credit for all my achievements.

I want to trust You fully and I am willing to give up my own honor.

I also want to glorify You through all my suffering because it helps me to understand Your suffering better.

I praise You for the promise that that You are preparing for me that I will one day share in Your glory.

I want to praise You in my prayers by leading people to You.

Father, forgive me holding on to the past. Help me to start thinking differently and make peace with it today.

Thank You for speaking to me. Help me to recognize and obey Your voice and ignor the other voices in my life.

Amen.

Poem by Russell Kelfer:-

You are who you are for a reason

You,re part of an intricate plan,

You,re a precious woman or man.

You look like you look for a reason.

our God made no mistake.

He knit you together within the womb,

You're just what he wanted to make

The parents you had were the ones he chose,

And no matter how you may feel,

They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,

And they bear the Master's seal.

No, that trauma you faced was not easy,

And God wept that it hurt you so;

But it was allowed to shape your heart

so that into His likeness you'd grow.

You are who you are for a reason,

You've been formed by the Master's rod,

You are who you are, beloved,

Because there is a God!!.
