SAVED & SINGLE
by Gloria Freeman on Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 6:29pm
What makes you think that just because I am an attractive woman of Godly intelligence that I'm incomplete?
Who told you that without a man something's missing from my life? And if so, what would that be? LOVE?
I love myself and more importantly I love the Lord. He told me that when I delight in Him, He will give me the desires of my heart. SECURITY? I have everything I need according to His riches in glory. INTIMACY?
Now, how's a man going to get to know me when he doesn't even know who he is in the Lord. See my Father told me I'm above a ruby's worth, and a gem does not seek, it is sought. I'm single and that's all-
right with me. See, It's not that I oppose relationships, It's that I detest co-dependency. As a woman I know it is not my role to chase after any man. Esther 2:14 says that I am to wait on my king and when he's delighted in me, he will call me by my name. My Lord does not intend for me to be needy or desperate. I am to be cherished, relished, valued, and honored. It's not my job to convince him or convict him of that,
my mate will already know it and will consistently show it. And he will stay on his knees daily not just to adore me, but to praise the Lord for the virtuous woman he has found. So, when you see me by myself
I'm not alone,I know what I have coming to me. I'M SINGLE AND SAVED, AND RIGHT NOW... THAT'S ALL I
NEED!!!!!

Glo, if I may...let me put a little "twist" on your conversation: Saved and Single. THE TWIST IS ON THE WORD: "Single"....YET...you are MARRIED." Yeah, I said it! Saved and Single while being married...and the "emphasis" again is on 'SINGLE! Now don't get this twisted...I am not Saved and Single while being married...I'm Saved and "Happily" Married....and I thank the Lord everyday for this Sweet Godly Saved and Married Relationship. Now to the meat of my conversation. There are some marriages...involving a Man and a Woman...where there is Singleness within the marriage. So what is this all about...what is the purpose of being married..YET STILL Single? Ask the Question ??: Was this the man or woman that God sent you? Was this man or woman that desires the Lord first and then his/her mate in the mix? Was this the Love that you desperately waited on for all your life...and you said: Thank you Lord...For sending him/her? Was this a guidance/leading from the Lord to take this person as his wife or her husband?
Or was this the "flesh" misleading you into a relationship put together by man...and not put together by the Lord? Or was this the bodily "scent" of a man or the "perfume" of a woman that made you choose him/her? Or was it a "hope" and a "wish" that you wanted to be married before you got too old...saying: "I'll take the first one who says I Love You? Or was it just a "let's do this thang Babe" and give it a 'TRY?'
What's going on with this conversation...you may be asking me." Well, I'm glad you asked. What's going on is that the Bible tells us, (taken from the scripture placed by Glo): "Esther 2:14 says that I am to wait on my king and when he's delighted in me, he will call me by my name"...[unquote.]
A woman is to be honored, loved purely, valued for her soul and spirits and to be honored like a 'queen.' And "all" these things should come "natural." (It feels soooooo good when it is NATURAL!) And if this marriage has been consecrated by the Lord... he will bow down daily on his knees, not just to adore me...no, no...(that would be the flesh speaking)...but to praise the Lord for the virtuous woman he has been given.
So, I have been so blessed to be Saved and Married...and that was my choice. And to the Saved and Single woman, I applaud you, because you know you can enter a room with just any man on your arm...[just to say I have somebody]...but when you can walk into a room...(stag)...with a smile on your face,.. it shows the "power within" you to stand alone and say it's okay with me, because I'm Saved and Single...and that is my choice!
THANK YOU SO MUCH BILLIE, AND I PRAY THAT WE CAN BE AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS WHO DESIRE A LIFE OF BEING SAVED AND SINGLE~~
Gloria, this is so true, I agree one hundred %, I have walk this same road I know what you are talking about, God has mold me into this person that I have no need or desire for until my prince come. I have learn to be a women in waiting and not in looking. Thank you sister for believing in him. I am saved, single and happy.
May God bless you with the desires of your heart,
@Glen, I was encouraged to write this blog by one of the Associate Ministers at my church... Primarily because of my work with single women in my ministry..... It was not written to impress but to help unmarried women and men live unencumbered lives knowing they can be complete without a partner.... Not by assuming, or speculation, but from these women themselves...... who feel they should have a man in their lives, in their beds, before their children and not be married......As long as they are "In Love".. is what they think.... They are not aware that they can be complete without a man ~~~~~ You would be very shocked to know how many women, and some men who feel that something is missing when they don't have a partner... And it does take a special woman or man of God to live by themselves and be complete... It takes meditation,dedication, a prayerful life.... and loving the Lord.... Knowing He will send that King or Queen if you patiently wait.....!!
Thanks my friend for your comment!!
Not just persons of the cloth. All who are SINGLE AND SAVED!!
