I’m a Single Christian on Valentine’s Day
Loving God and My Salvation as a Single Christian on Valentine's Day
I never really celebrated Valentine’s Day. I also thought it was for couples, and over the years, my friends and I would exchange gifts (candies, flowers, chocolates), but it still felt like a couple thing.
Now that I am older, I still look at it the same, haha! But, seriously, I don’t feel like my life is over because year after year, I have no one on V-Day. I’ll be honest. I use to feel jealous and wished I could have someone to share it with, but then I realized the blessing of being single and waiting on God’s timing.
Life isn’t over because you don’t have anyone special on Valentine’s Day. Don’t feel less than because everyone is flooding your timeline with hugs and kisses. Maybe avoid your timeline on that day (lol), but don’t stare in the mirror wondering why me, Lord.
Listen to me; it is natural to feel jealous, envious, and long for a husband or a wife. As we get older, we desire companionship. We want someone to share our lives with while growing older together in harmony. But don’t allow yourself to be consumed by this desire. All my single Christians, put your hands up!!
The scripture says in Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose, ” meaning when it’s God’s time its the right time. If we focus on God and put our trust in Him, then He will work it out in our favor according to His will for our life.
Psalm 27:14 says, “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord,” which means have patience.
Sometimes we’re not at the place for a relationship. We need healing from our childhood, traumatic situations, and some serious internal surgery. In order to receive blessings from God, we have to be in the right place, and God knows when we’re in the right frame of mind.
We need to have patience and trust in the God we serve. When we look at the scripture, we see many examples of how waiting on God benefits you in the end. From Abraham to Ruth, King David to Queen Esther, God’s timing is always best.
Focus on God and love him more than the desire to be loved by your future man or woman. Love God more than the idea of being a Mrs. or the new Mr & Mrs. Remember that God knows we shouldn’t be alone. When He created Eve for Adam, He said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him,” in Genesis 2:18. God didn’t design us to be by ourselves, so wait on Him to send you the MR and MRS RIGHT for you.
In the meantime, while you’re waiting, prepare yourself and enjoy your salvation. Get deeper and grounded in God. Love God more than life itself. Don’t make Jesus your boyfriend, but seek Him and trust in Him 100 % and promise you when he or she shows up, it will be worth it after all.
Happy Valentine’s Day, and remember you’re beautiful, fearfully and wonderfully made. You’re God’s child, and you are loved by Him.
