I don’t want to submit
Trusting God goes with submitting. How can you be married to your husband if you first don’t know how to submit to God and his will for your life. How can you get married if you don’t know how to first commitment to the will of God.
I had a commitment issue. So I was single. I didn’t submit to God, so I was not married.
Valuing the Single wait
“Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.” Psalm 25:5
When it comes down to it. If you enjoy being single that perfect for you. But If you want to become someone wife. You have to change for yourself. You have to dig into building a meaning relationship and be ok if you never get married. That’s how it felt when I finally handed control over to God.
I had to be okay if getting married wasn’t his will for my life. I had to get to the point that I would be okay if I were to be the wife of God for the rest of my life. I know it sounded extreme. I needed a change. I wanted to become more than the girl everyone knew just wanted to get married. I wanted to show God that I was about his business and not about getting married only.
When I finally trusted God, I was sold out for him. Then I was able to take his word and applied it to my life. In the areas that I needed to submit to him. While seeking God out, I was able to set standards for myself. I was able to forgive myself for my dating past.
I was able to let go of self-hurt and pain other caused. I was able to live single and enjoy doing me. I was able to remind God of his promises to me that I was made to be a wife. That I was somebody’s one and only. That I was worth the wait.
Which allowed me to value the wait for my husband. I began to not only love God with my whole heart. I was able to love myself. I knew that the value of the wait gave me strength not to accept just anybody that crawl in my path. That I could wait for the husband that God himself created for me.
Remember why you may still be single and waiting on God he may be waiting until you are ready to be free to trust, submit and let of control of your situation for him to show up and show you that he has his very best for you. Test your Faith and Try Jesus.
