Our Singleness is a Destiny Call

So many of us, especially ladies who are of 'marriage age' bracket feels that being single is a sickness that needs to be cured as soon as possible. These most often than not leads to desperation, which in turn lead to vulnerability. Have you ever experienced 'famish' in the real sense? i tell you from experience, everything will taste real good to you.

However, we cannot escape the 'single' phase of life, simply because it is the destiny of everyone. We just must be single at some particular point of our lives. So, I have decided to share an article of Michelle Hammond McKinney with us.

OUR SINGLENESS IS A DESTINY CALL

Michelle says you got to know that you know that you are dedicated and committed to waiting on God’s choice as well as His timing. While this is easier said than done for most singles, Michelle says singles can walk in that place of contentment. “You have to proactively decide that you want to be happy single or not,” says Michelle. Every single should decide that they want that because they’re not going to be a happy married person unless they are a happy single person.

You have to be a whole person on your own first. It helps you make better choices. It helps you clarify what you want and what you don’t want, and it helps you not have unrealistic expectations once you do find your mate.

It is important for the single person to “Get a Life.” Michelle says too many single people put their lives on hold waiting for their spouse and idolizing the institution of marriage. The real truth is that there are just as many miserable people married as there are single. So marriage is not the end all. “Marriage should be the inspiration when you meet the right person, that you want to wake up with every day,” says Michelle.

You need to have your act together. Hopefully you will then become what you want to attract. If you have your life together, that dismisses all the people that don’t have their life together. So you need to think about what you want and then become what you want to attract. Michelle states, “I’m waiting on God’s timing for my life. But in the meantime, I’m having a blast.”

Many singles have bought into the idea that there’s something that’s going to make us complete. “I’m only complete if someone else loves me. Jesus loves me. I’m only complete if someone else needs me. Look around…there’s a million people who need you,” says Michelle.

God strategically aligned people in Scripture to reflect Him, to glorify Him, to hold down specific areas and regions. We have to become kingdom minded in every aspect, in every choice that we make. Michelle challenges each person to ask, “Am I glorifying God to the ultimate in the decision that I’m making? How is this helping the kingdom? This is not just about me.”
 
Over the years I have come to love Michelle Hammond McKinney, a best selling author, singer, speaker and television co-host. I fell head over heels

in love with her books especially , 'Secrets of an Irresistible Woman'. It is exactly the book every woman must have on her bookshelf.
