"Wilogod" Is FaithMate's Christian Question Winner.......

Congratulations to "WilofGod" for your awesome answers to FaithMate's questions. Here is her thoughts on "Living Single and a Christian""Singleness can be for many reasons. It can be caused by divorce, widowed or separated. I view singleness as a gift from God because I have the opportunity to be sold out for God. But let's be real, if you are single, deep down inside most of us hope to find someone with whom we can share our life. Even Adam, the first single person, was missing human relationship. Adam survived a degree of loneliness that we hope we will never experience. As a Christian, I have come to realize that getting married doesn't do anything to eliminate being alone and does not guarantee a fulfilled life. Fulfillment is based on my relationship with Jesus. If I can't manage my singleness, I will not be able to manage being married. I had to understand that I can be single but not alone. Loneliness will cause one to confuse company for companionship. Company fulfills for a moment, companionship fulfills for a lifetime. I seek companionship. One more thing, as a single and a Christian, I have learned to love me, respect me and value who I am. This way I can present myself in a way in which I want others to respect and treat me. Don't wait for that someone special to validate you and stop viewing your singleness as some sort of disease that needs a major cure. If God thought enough of you and loved you enough to give up his ONLY son, surely you can prove to Him that this sacrifice was worth it by caring for and loving yourself.
