In this new podcast episode, we'll discuss that it's possible that you're single and still satisfied.
I think this topic is so much relatable and relevant in our generation today where having a relationship has been so romanticized like it's the end-goal or once you finally found your partner then you're more blessed. I also realized that we got this idea of being "finally complete" because of the pagan culture and in Greek mythology where it says that humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.
Which is not true in Scriptures, according to the Bible, we're not sliced apart from one another, but God who seeks a personal relationship with us, but because of our sin we have been separated. Yet, there's a good news! Jesus made the way for us at the Cross for us to be reconciled where justice, mercy, grace, and love was given all at once.
This episode is not anti-relationships. Marriage is a wonderful and even glorious, just imagining yourself walking at the aisle looking at your future spouse, it's indeed a blessing to love and to be loved. But it is secondary to our spiritual identity as children of God and marriage won’t even exist in heaven (Matt. 22:30).
1. Marriage has been the end goal.
Truth: Seek God's kingdom first, not marriage. (Matthew 6:33)
2. If you're serving the Lord and content, God will give you your God's best.
(Prosperity Gospel)
-Truth: You can live a life worthy of your calling not doing it to seek our own desires but His plans for us.
3. Being single means you're less valuable.
-Truth: There are both blessings and testing in singleness and marriage season.
4. You need sex to be fulfilled.
Truth: Jesus is the great example of having a fulfilled and meaningful life. God has given us His Holy Spirit to control our bodies, not to be controlled by it.
5. Christians are more concern about their lovelife rather than their goals in life.
When we talk to our single Christian and not Christian friends, do we focus on their life by just asking them, "When will you have a partner?" "When will you get married?"
I am leaving you all with this verse,
"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:11-13
