Convicting and helpful words from
Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? Trusting God with a Hope Deferred by Carolyn McCulley.
"As I've pondered the common temptations of singleness, I've noticed five character qualities that help exhibit a more noble character in this season:
- Trust in God when your hopes are deferred
- Contentment while you're waiting
- Faithfulness to sow to the future even when you're in tears
- Graciousness when others receive what you would like
- Humility to pray to be a blessing, rather than to receive a blessing
This isn't an exhaustive list, of course, but I think as we explore each quality, we will find in our singleness some practical ways to honor God before the watching world" (53).
