Are you single and spending all the time you have this season in searching for Mr. Right? My dear sister, stop utilizing all your time during this season in searching for Mr. Right and rather devote more time in becoming the Right woman so Mr. Right can easily find you. This is a very important season that no one should skip or rush over. This is that season that determines a lot about your life and even your marital destiny.
Let us discover some important aspects of the single season:
* A moment you can utilize to develop a healthy self-Confidence.
Many ladies look to men for affirmation of who they are. When they don’t get it, they start feeling frustrated and develop a low self-esteem. God made you in His image and your self-worth should be rooted your Creator’s perspective. Utilize your single season grow in your walk with God ,nurture godly character and learn to appreciate yourself. You are good enough, you are smart enough, you are strong enough, you are beautiful enough. Take advantage of this season to appreciate yourself and build a healthy self-confidence. The foundation of your confidence should come from the knowledge of who you are in Christ, it should come from within and should not be based on another person’s perspective because the moment that person is taken away from you, you will definitely lose that confidence. You can maximize your single season to build self-confidence.
* A moment to pursue your vocation and dreams.
As a single, you have enough time to develop yourself and pursue all you have ever wanted to be. Marriage comes with its challenges and responsibilities and you could get caught up on all these and not have time to follow your dreams. You have time to your-self now that you are single. So you can utilize this time to discover and develop your vocation, study or travel as far as you desire and pursue your dreams.
* Time to spend with family and friends.
The relationships we build with family and friends during our single season matters a lot. Such relationships have an indirect effect on our marriages in the future. For instance, the way we learn to relate healthily with unique personalities during our single season helps us prepare to build healthy relationships with our spouse in the future. So single season is an opportunity to prepare your-self for marriage.
* A season to pray for your future spouse.
Utilize your single season to pray for the spouse you desire. Some salient things to pray for within this period include may include: To be ready when you meet him; that you both are destined by God to be together; desire to fulfill purpose in marriage for God’s glory; pray against falling into temptation of any kind within this season; pray God’s blessings on your future spouse and his family even before you get to see him and trust God to answer in accordance with His will.
* Spend undivided time with God.
Your single season is that moment to devote all your energy in serving God. While you are single , you have enough time for undivided devotion to God alone and time to focus on doing the things He lays in your heart to so. Utilize this moment to develop a one-on-one relationship with God, spend time in studying the word of God, live in His will, grow in faith etc. It is also an opportunity for you to remain in God so that He can fine tune your character.
As an individual, from the moment I chose not to rush over my single season, my life has taken an upward trend. My mentality is different, my approach to things is different, the confidence I have in myself is inexpressible, I fall in love with who I am day in and day out. I have come to know and serve God better and most especially, God has built in me the virtue of patience. If I were to be married before now, I may have possibly gone back home to my parents from a failed marriage.
Utilize your single season for exploits towards fulfilling purpose.
God bless you!
