The season of singleness can be tough. Many girls want romance and a relationship. So when you are entitled as single, it can be very difficult.
But God gives us the seasons of singleness for our good.
This is a time that we can use to better ourselves and serve those around us. We don’t have to sit in misery waiting for the right guy to come along. The season of singleness can be used to help us in so many ways.
If you are currently in a season of singleness, I want to encourage you during this time. Here are some ways that being a single girl can actually help you out in the long run:
- Grow in the Lord.
Your season of singleness is a time when you are not distracted by your boyfriend, fiance, or husband. It is a time when you can place your whole devotion in the Lord.
Use this time to study your Bible, pray diligently, and truly grow your relationship with your Heavenly Father.
The Lord is the One who created you and died for you. He loves you more than anyone possibly could.
So before you get into a relationship with a guy, make the Lord the number one Guy in your life.
- Grow in your other relationships.
You have relationships all around you. With your parents, siblings, friends, coworkers, and so on. And during your season of singleness, you can cultivate these relationships best.
After you become involved with a guy romantically, it will be more difficult to spend time with your friends and family because one of your primary focuses will be on him.
So use this time of being single to grow strong relationships with those around you.
- Grow as a person.
You have the perfect picture of the perfect guy you’re going to marry. He’s godly, kind, and great all around.
Well unfortunately he has not been born with this great, godly character, and neither have you.
Just like you would want your future husband to work on his character, he would want you to work on yours as well. And this current time of singleness is a perfect time to do so.
Use this time of being single to work on you contentment and strength in the Lord.
And you could also use this time to work on special skills and talents. Go learn how to play an instrument or take a photography class. Further your education or study abroad. There are so many things that you are able to do during your time of singleness then you would probably be able to do after you are in a relationship.
God did not give you this time of singleness for you to suffer. He wants you to learn and grow during this time.
Yes, singleness can be hard. And yes, there will still be times when you will want to have that romantic relationship. But instead of sitting around in misery, work on growing in the Lord, in other relationships, and as a person. This is probably one of the best things you could do during your time of being a single girl.
In His amazing love,
