Transcendent Understanding.

My realization of our mighty God and the severe truth that he cares for me was found today in:

my singleness.

There have been times in my life when I have really wanted to experience a relationship, even times when I’ve been tempted and failed. But ultimately, God has guarded my heart. I’ve never been in a relationship, and a year ago I would have told you that I wish I had. I am human. I desire relationship with others. But what I did not realize then, that I do now, is that God can fulfill all of my desires.

What I’ve realized is that I have been emotionally vulnerable to wanting relationship. Satan could have easily tempted me with this and I would have accepted it and possibly, most likely, sacrificed my morality, which was and is deeply rooted in a love for Jesus. But God had a better plan for me. He guarded me in my vulnerability and gave me the gift of purity. For that I am so grateful. I’d say it’s the best gift.

As I write, I realized an Interesting parallel: singleness and solitude. Two things that I am so thankful for in my life that I know I would never be able to say I loved if I didn’t have an Amazing God with me, always.
